Who We Are
The Team Behind San Jose's Most Trusted Kitchen Remodels
We're a family-owned kitchen remodeling company born and raised in San Jose. Every project we take on is personal — because we live and work in the same neighborhoods as our clients.
Our founder, Marcus Rivera, started as a cabinet installer in East San Jose in 2004. After years working for larger Bay Area contractors, he saw a gap: homeowners wanted quality craftsmanship, honest pricing, and real accountability — not just the lowest bid. In 2009, he launched Kitchen Remodel San Jose with a two-man crew and one truck.
Today, our team of 18 skilled tradespeople handles every facet of kitchen renovation in-house — from design and permitting to demo, electrical, plumbing, tile, cabinet installation, and final finish. No day-labor. No finger-pointing. One team, one standard.
We understand San Jose's housing stock. From 1960s ranch homes in Willow Glen to split-levels in Almaden Valley and new builds in Communications Hill — we know what works structurally, aesthetically, and within the City of San Jose's permit requirements.
What Drives Us
Our Core Values
These aren't marketing words — they're the standards every crew member is held to on every San Jose kitchen remodel we touch.
Honest Pricing
Fixed-price contracts before work begins. No change-order surprises. No material bait-and-switch. What we quote is what you pay.
Master Craftsmanship
Every cabinet line, every tile joint, every countertop seam is held to an exacting standard. We don't hide poor work behind paint.
Real Communication
Daily project updates via text or app. Your project manager's direct number. Questions answered same-day. No chasing contractors.
Respect for Your Home
We treat your home like it's ours. Dust containment, daily cleanup, careful material handling. Your family's comfort matters during the build.
On-Time Delivery
We set realistic schedules and honor them. If a delay is unavoidable, you'll know before it happens — not after.
5-Year Warranty
Every kitchen remodel in San Jose we complete is backed by a 5-year labor warranty. Quality built to last California's climate.
