Same-layout kitchen remodels in Millbrae

Millbrae has a handout just for single-family kitchens that only replace cabinets, countertop, sink, appliances and lighting: a cabinet supplier's layout printout can stand in for a construction plan. Reconfiguring the layout or removing a partition wall calls for full plans on paper at least 11x17, and the handout says an engineer should decide whether that wall is load bearing.

Keeping the layout is usually the quicker path, and it's where our crew does most of the work: cabinets set level, butcher block tops, backsplash, fixtures and paint. Stone and quartz go to a fabrication shop. When a permit is needed, it and any plumbing or electrical changes are contracted through our licensed partner Bay Builder Inc. Text photos and rough measurements to start.

Value for money and flexible to work with. Would definitely hire them again, for all jobs around the house.

Junior and his crew were awesome to work with. Junior was always on time, respectful, thoughtful, and meticulous in his work. He is genuinely a kind soul and a great human - as were all his crew members. The work was very fairly priced. He always showed up when he said he would and he never kept me guessing. I would strongly recommend his group. For reference, he did a full interior remodel/refresh of our condo: floors, kitchen, walls, and bathrooms.
