Posted on Hayden WittTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had Genuine Kitchen and Bath remodel our master bathroom in Redwood City and the finished product looks like something out of a high-end home magazine. Brian was straightforward from the first meeting — gave us a realistic timeline, stuck to it, and kept us updated throughout. The walk-in shower is the highlight: full travertine tile surround, frameless glass enclosure, and a custom mosaic accent border that ties the whole design together. The double vanity with dark espresso cabinetry and green granite countertop was installed perfectly — dual undermount sinks, brushed brass fixtures, and a carved wood mirror that anchors the room. Large format floor tile throughout, clean grout lines, zero lippage. Every detail was executed at a level we did not expect at this price point. Best bathroom remodeling contractor on the Peninsula. If you are in Redwood City, San Carlos, Belmont, or anywhere in San Mateo County, call Brian before anyone else!Posted on TannerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Genuine Kitchen and Bath out of San Carlos completely transformed our kitchen and we cannot say enough about the craftsmanship. Brian walked us through every decision from day one — no pressure, just honest guidance. The centerpiece is a full Calacatta marble island with an integrated induction cooktop that the crew installed flawlessly. The white shaker cabinetry runs floor to ceiling, the marble slab backsplash is continuous and perfectly matched to the countertops, and the under-cabinet LED lighting ties the whole space together. Built-in appliances, open shelving, and pendant lighting were all handled in one seamless project. If you are searching for a kitchen remodeling contractor in San Carlos, Belmont, San Mateo, or anywhere in San Mateo County, this is the team. The attention to detail is unlike anything we saw from other contractors we interviewed on the Peninsula.Posted on Christopher McLaughlinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had such a great experience with this company. Dianna and Brian know what they are doing in all aspects. From hearing my needs to delivering exactly what ai had envisioned I will refer them to all my friends and family.Posted on mary mercierTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brian and Dianna at Genuine Kitchen & Bath did an amazing job remodeling my old bathroom. They were professional, easy to communicate with, and delivered exactly what they promised — on time and within budget. Their team was wonderful and made sure to clean up every single day before leaving, which I really appreciated. I’m so happy with the results and would highly recommend them!Posted on Vivian LibertiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We initially found Genuine Kitchen and Bath because the house next door to us was going through a remodel before selling. When the realtor invited “the neighbors” for a sneak-peek on opening weekend, were we able to walk through the updated space, evaluate craftsmanship, and speak to Jason who project managed for Genuine Kitchen. We called for an estimate, and Brian saw us within a week from initial call. Our main goal was to renovate the kitchen (the exact floor plan as next door!) and update floors throughout. We also had additional requests but wasn’t sure about overall budget, so we asked for these to be line itemed: adding can lights in the living room, add an overhead fan in master bedroom, change interior doors throughout. We ended up agreeing to everything except the doors. But the best thing about this consultation--we were able to talk through timing. We had vacation planned for 2 weeks in June, and it would be perfect timing if demo + floor installation could be completed while we were on vacation. Brian suggested renting a PODS unit for our driveway and that’s where most of our furniture lived while renovations occurred. Talking through the workflow helped settle my nerves about the project. We signed our deposit over March 18, which was 3.5-4months from when initial work was scheduled to take place. This ended up being perfect timing for us. Flat front cabinets = 8week lead time, and another couple months to select countertop and kitchen fixtures. We were given a list of items to purchase, and I was eager to select all the fixtures to fit our style and price. I emailed my selection list to Genuine Kitchen, and they were helpful in pointing out some corrections (buy the certified outlets!) and suggestions (cabinet handles are better than edge pulls!). 48hrs before we were scheduled to leave for vacation, we had to cancel (health reasons). Since we had planned to be out of the house during renovation of the floors we secured hotel + airBnB for 12nights. We asked Genuine Kitchen if we could move back into the bedrooms on day 12 of what was supposed to be 14 days. We were so thankful everything worked out and Genuine Kitchen completed the bedrooms so that we could move back in earlier than scheduled. The bulk of the kitchen renovation occurred while we were simultaneously living in the house—they setup a zip wall between the spaces. The work crews were organized, courteous, and tidied-up after themselves every day. We expect dust during construction, but they tried to keep it to a minimum. Overall, Genuine Kitchen had great communication for us; both email + phone, and I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to them for future projects!Posted on Angel and PerlaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Genuine Kitchen and Bath did an amazing job remodeling our bathroom! From start to finish, their team was professional, attentive, and highly skilled. The craftsmanship and attention to detail truly exceeded our expectations, and they turned our vision into reality. Communication was seamless, and the project was completed on time and within budget. We couldn't be happier with the results and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality remodeling services!Posted on Christy KnottTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After quite a while of trying to find someone to redo our kitchen who would do the design as well as the work, we discovered Genuine Kitchen and Bath. Brian met with us to understand what we were looking for and then began creating potential re-designs of our kitchen and dining room space. We went back and forth a bit before settling on the design that we really loved, but we got there. Brian also connected us with a great cabinet designer, Martha at Danmar Cabinets, and during the cabinet design process the three of us communicated via email to ensure we were all on the same page, which was super helpful. From the beginning, Brian was up front about the process, timeline and what to expect during this job. There were, as typically happens, things that came up that we hadn’t originally expected. Whenever that happened, we got clear answers on which things were included in the original job cost and anything that would be extra if we wanted to have them do it. Brian’s crew was great. His main guy, Junior, was there almost every day and was hard working, friendly, and great at communicating with us. Junior did a great job of cleaning up the job site each day to ensure it was safe both in the backyard and the front yard. We even had neighbors comment on the cleanliness of the job! Junior was on-site working hard every day and managed the other subcontractors as they came and went. Most of the subs were great, though we did have an issue with one of them. But we were very pleased with how Brian, Dianna and their crew handled the problems with that sub. Dianna was a big help with all design-related questions that came up along the way. She gave me clear instructions about where to get things (like the grout for the tile) and helped me decide on the color. It was great to have her expertise readily available to me. Brian and Dianna were very responsive to any concerns we had along the way. They were eager to make us happy and uphold their reputation. In the end, the project extended just a couple weeks past the original estimate of 2 months - mostly due to the subcontractor we had trouble with and a couple extra things we had them do (like add lighting in our living room area). I’ve heard horror stories from people having their contractors string them along for months not finishing the project. That was not our experience at all, just as Brian had promised, they finished the job completely and efficiently. I highly recommend Genuine Kitchen and Bath for any home project you have. If we decide to do another project down the road, we’ll definitely hire them again!Posted on Marco PinedaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brian and the guys at Genuine Kitchen and Bath are consummate professionals. From the initial consultation to the jobs completion, the entire process was completely streamlined.

Don't think twice about contacting them for your next home project.Posted on Mel RTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brian and Dianna are so good to work with!
