San Jose Bathroom Remodel remodels kitchens and baths across San Anselmo and the surrounding Marin County towns. These are the rooms you use most and the ones that date a home the fastest, and they are also the most technical to get right, because they pack plumbing, electrical, tile, cabinetry, and waterproofing into a small footprint. In an older Ross Valley home, the rough-ins behind the walls are often the real story. We plan the remodel around how you actually use the room, then build it with the systems and the waterproofing done correctly behind the finishes.
- Layout and cabinetry reworked
- New tile, counters, and fixtures
- Plumbing and electrical brought to code
- Wet areas waterproofed correctly
- One design and build team start to finish
The layout is what makes a kitchen or bath work
A beautiful kitchen with a bad layout is still a frustrating kitchen. Before any finish gets chosen, we work out how the room should flow, where the cooking, the prep, the cleanup, and the storage go, how people move through the space, and how to fit it all into the footprint you have. The same goes for a bath, where the placement of the vanity, the shower, and the storage decides how the room feels every morning.
Sometimes the best improvement is moving a wall, relocating a window, or borrowing space from an adjacent room, and because we plan and build together, those structural moves are on the table from the start rather than ruled out because a separate designer never priced them. In an older home that often means working with original framing, which we plan around carefully.
We design the layout with you, then confirm it works against the real plumbing and electrical before we commit to it. A layout that looks good on paper but fights the existing systems is a layout that drives up cost, so we settle that early.
What happens behind the tile
Kitchens and baths fail from the inside out when the work behind the finishes is rushed. Waterproofing a shower correctly, venting and routing the plumbing properly, and bringing the electrical up to code are the steps that decide whether the room lasts or leaks. They are also exactly the steps a too-cheap remodel skips, because no one sees them on opening day.
We do that work to standard. The shower pan and the wet walls are waterproofed correctly, the plumbing is run and vented to code, and the circuits and outlets a modern kitchen or bath needs are added rather than overloaded onto aging wiring. It is unglamorous work, and it is what keeps the remodel sound for years in a home that has already stood for decades.
Because one crew handles the whole room, the cabinetry, the tile, the counters, and the systems are coordinated from the start. Nothing gets wedged in at the end, and the finishes sit on top of work that was done right.
Finishes chosen to fit the home and the budget
The finishes are where your choices swing the cost the most, and where the room takes on its character. Cabinetry, counters, tile, flooring, and fixtures can be specified to a simple, durable level or a high-end personal level, with a real difference in price. We help you choose finishes that fit the design and the budget rather than defaulting to the biggest ticket.
We also match the new work to the rest of the home so a remodeled kitchen or bath reads as intentional, not as a single updated room floating in an older Marin house. The trim, the hardware, and the palette get chosen with the whole home in mind.
