This was truly a smooth process from start to finish. John was very transparent and communicated every step effectively. He was very clean with demo and vacuumed after every demolition. We ended up having to repair a wall due to termite damage. We had electrical/gas lines moved, lighting placed under cabinets and above the peninsula, appliances installed, and flooring repaired/adjusted. Tile backsplash was installed and granite countertops. John, David (cabinets), Vicente (tile), Abel (countertop) were all on time and very communicative when it came to any slight changes or questions. They are an amazing team. This is one of the first of many major projects to our home and it came out so wonderful and functional. We expanded our storage and now have a peninsula. It took about a month and it was well worth it. It went by fast and that's because of how clean it was and that is that we have 2 big dogs. Trust me when I say that it is not easy during renovations, but it was completely doable. We are very happy with our remodeled kitchen and look forward to working with John in the future. We are extremely grateful for such wonderful work. Side note: have patience as your home may have mishaps that maybe were not planned (termite damage to the wall) and it was addressed and is now fixed. You definitely need to be transparent too so the work is completed and you're happy with the results. We most definitely are! Thank you 21st Century Kitchen & baths! read more

John and his team re-installed our cabinets and countertops after a previous contractor had made some major mistakes. He was able to resolve all the issues and saved us a boatload of money by using the existing cabinetry and allowing us to supply our own countertops. We saved even more by un-attaching the previous cabinets ourselves. John is genuinely concerned about making sure that his customers are satisfied with the work done. I would highly recommend John if you need to install or upgrade any cabinetry or countertops. read more

This guy is hopeless. He doesn't return communications. His responses are poor. Only after I threatened to write a bad Yelp did he finally come and do the work that was contracted. His workmanship is okay, but not great. He used warped wood. I contacted him more recently, but he doesn't reply. Unreliable is the best word to describe 21st Century KB. I can't be bogged down with unreliable people. I'll make no more attempts to get this guy to respond. read more

John just completed in September a huge remodel of our kitchen and family room. There was a lot of structural changes and since we got a permit he had to deal with the city inspectors. He handled it every step of the way like a true professional. John is meticulous. His site is always clean. Our painter said he did the best trim work he had ever seen. Our kitchen is absolutely beautiful and I would not hesitate to hire him again for any project. Besides all that he is a kind and patient man. He was in our home all day for many months and I always felt safe to leave him here alone. You won't regret hiring him. read more

We have had a great experience with 21st Century Kitchens and Baths. John provided an excellent complete estimate and when we accepted his estimate, he provided a detailed contract covering all of the items we requested. Even with a few change orders, at our request, everything went smoothly. When the cabinets were going up in price, he was able to get the cabinets early. This saved us from the price increase. Great job. read more

John has been our contractor on two projects his professionalism and workmanship was beyond my expectations. He is the most organized and clean contractor I've ever had work for me, that was very important to us. Also he has so much respect for other people's property that you can leave him alone in your home and know you are in safe hands. We will definitely use him again for future projects and we recommend him highly. Thanks again John!! read more

Not Worth the Money Paid - Corners Cut Everywhere and Services Downgraded After Discounts Offered - Homeowners Beware We bought a new house and remodeled the entire kitchen and the first floor of the house. Searched and interviewed over 8 contractors at various pricing points. John, I give him credit at that, for being a good communicator, promised everything if we choose his company for the job. He even offered 15% discount to undercut the other contractor finalist for the job. Unbeknownst to us, the 15% discount meant cutting corners and taking unacceptable short-cuts. The non-disclosure of what goes with the 15% discount prompted me to write this lengthy review. The cost of the entire project was around $10,000 for installation of non-custom cabinets in a completely empty kitchen. 1. We never received a cabinet layout diagram prior to John began installing the cabinets. I should have taken this as a major red flag. I have to give John credit here, he really is a great talker, calm and articulate, he appeared to know what he was doing, so I believed him when he said he knows exactly what we wanted. After discovering cabinets were installed at incorrect locations, we asked John for a pre-installation diagram to review before any more mistakes occur. John claimed because of the 15% discount he offered, we can't expect him to provide us with any digital layout of the kitchen. He didn't even have a hand written one to show us. OMFG!!! 2. When cabinet doors weren't lined up, when gaps between the cabinet doors and the cabinet itself weren't congruent, when the cabinet drawers weren't in a straight line, John blamed the makers of the cabinets. Even the cabinet door handles were not installed symmetrically. I had to point this out to him several times for him to realize the measurements were off. Moreover, the handles on double doors cannot be redone because holes were already drilled. Now every time I'm sitting in the kitchen staring directly at the uneven handles I cringe. 3. Cabinet mark-ups: I also had the displeasure of finding out 21st Century Kitchen and Baths mark-up cabinets more than 5 times the retail price after calling the brand's local distributor. I wouldn't have mind the price had John performed the work at a high standard. $10,000 for 15 standard cabinets with substandard installation is utterly repulsive. I hope my review helps other homeowners avoid the same pain we've gone through. Conclusion: pros: 1. good communicator, very responsive to text messages/email cons: 1. horrible workmanship 2. misrepresentation of discounts 3. misrepresentation of material cost read more

I have extremely high expectations and John met all of them!! He is a perfectionist when it comes to his work... when he drills a hole he chases it with a shop vac! He was so clean and always left his work space how he arrived ! He is honest and that  s something very hard to find when you are having work done in your home. We have already hired him to do another project in our home. He also reads body language to ensure you get what you want, he has great sense of humor too! We had a great experience remodeling our home. Oh and he can do anything not just kitchen and bath! I highly recommend him! Thank you John!!! read more

John has done a lot of work for us over the last 7 years and I am more than happy to share with everyone our experiences with 21st Century. I will lead with this...I am a mechanical engineer. If you have ever known or lived with an engineer, you will know that we are a picky, finicky, perfectionist bunch. The little details matter much to us. John always meets my expectations for detail and quality, and that is the highest compliment that can be given to someone in his profession in my opinion. He gets the pain in the rear engineer stamp of approval. John as done 3 bathrooms, two kitchens, a custom built in master closet, and two custom built in hall closets for us. He has also done work for my parents (the beautiful kitchen with the blue island pictured here on yelp) and friends of ours. The first kitchen he did for us was transforming a very dated condominium kitchen into a sleek contemporary affair. The second was a completely custom kitchen taken down to the studs and recreated with a new modern layout complete with slab front cabinets, gorgeous dolomite counters, hidden and built in appliances and a new island where there was not one before. Similarly our first two baths that he did were simple affairs with new cabinetry, and a bath to shower conversion whereas the most recent bath John did for us was a completely custom affair where he moved the toilette and reconfigured the whole bath for us. To say that John is capable of doing anything from a simple rehab to to a completely custom room of your dreams would be an understatement. His custom cabinet work, while not explicitly kitchen and bath, has transformed our other spaces, adding built in wardrobes, dressers and linen closets. John will always leave your home cleaner than when he arrived, every day, not just at the end of the job. He will fix something if it is not right or to your liking. He will build you exactly what you want. The last thing you should know about John, is he is a fantastic guy. We love having him in our home, invite him to stay for dinner when he is working here, and largely slow his work down by standing around and shooting the breeze with him because he is an extremely amiable and good natured person to catch up with. We give him the key or garage code to our home without hesitation. In case you cant tell, John Salinas comes with our complete and unconditional recommendation. read more

Having our kitchen refaced in 2016 by John, which turned out great, it was only natural that we chose him to remodel our full bath. It was in dire need of a major makeover! John was easy to work with and he has great patience. He never once showed any annoyance of us asking our multitude of questions as the work went on. On the contrary, he was flexible and open to all suggestions. He's professional and super friendly. Plus, as with our kitchen, his prices are very reasonable. We definitely have recommended him to my friends and family for any remodel they might have. read more

I have used John for several projects in my home over the last year. The first was a built in media center with a faux fireplace. In the media center he integrated all of my home theater wiring with speaker jacks, a TV mount, subwoofer cabinet and shelves for the electronic equipment. He is meticulous at what he does, cleans up as he goes and takes pride in his work. More recently I had him order and install a linen closet for my hallway. His work on this project was flawless. Looks like the builder put it in the house originally. The last project was a storage area that I wanted constructed under my stairway. Previously, this space was a giant void that the builder left walled up. He opened a hole in my wall, finished off the space with electrical and drywall and installed a door. It was a creative project that was outside the box thinking, John did a great job. I will always keep his number for projects around the home as I understand he does not only kitchen and bath, but electrical work like recessed lighting as well. I would highly recommend John for your next project! read more

I found John on Yelp, the positive reviews are true. John did an amazing work in our kitchen and the cost of the job was reasonable. We have done extensive remodeling in our home over the last 2 years, John was by far the most reliable and clean contractor thus far. He cleaned up and put away his tools each day. I would hire him again in a minute. read more

John did an amazing transformation on my kitchen. A slab leak left my kitchen torn apart. We decided to remove the remaining existing cabinets and start over. The quality of the cabinets installed are amazing. Slow closing drawers and doors. Simply beautiful. The quartz countertop is stunning. Johns cabinets are by far, much better then anything you can buy at any Home Depot or Lowe's which is where my previous cabinets were from. John and the people that work for him are trustworthy and very professional. His communication skills are spot on. I was updated the entire process. I will definitely be using John again when it's time to update my bathroom. read more

John Salinas is professional, punctual and takes pride in his work. He comes and puts in a full days work, works hard, and doesn't rush to get the job done so he can leave early. John gives you that "piece of mind" that your hiring the right guy. And you are. That feeling can be elusive, and when you're about to put something as important as your home in someone's hands, you need to feel that. He gave us that and he delivered. I would hire him again as needs arise. Thanks John! read more

John Salinas came over to give me an estimate for kitchen cabinet refacing. He was very preoccupied with whether or not I was getting other estimates. He asked me if I was getting other estimates when I spoke with him on the phone before scheduling him for an estimate. No problem with that. While he was writing up the estimate, he asked me again if I was getting other estimates, if I had already obtained estimates, and whether or not other contractors were coming out today. He verbally reacted when I indicated that his was the first estimate and seemed to be quite concerned about this for some reason. He asked me about other estimates four times in the 20 minutes he was here. What is with his obsession? When I told him we were finished and asked him to leave my home, I told him that I needed someone who was focused on HIS work...not on everyone else's. read more

This is the second remodel we chose John Salinas within the past 3 years. He did a great job and our master bath/walk closet is amazing. We used very good high end materials and John was careful not to damage them. It took 6-7 weeks and boy did it turn out great. This was a complete remodel and alot of changes we made in the new design. We have no regrets. read more

John Salinas is an excellent contractor. We have known him for over 5 years. Initially he was very kind to come out to do some minor repairs at our home in Laguna Niguel. A year later we called him to bid the remodel of our kitchen, including new cabinets, countertops and appliances. After interviewing 4 companies, we chose 21st Century, John's company, and we were very happy with the results. He is very skilled, provides accurate and fair prices and completes the work in a timely (and tidy) manner. We hired him again in 2014 when it was time to remodel our master bath and replace all our carpet with wood flooring. He does much of the work himself, including the cabinetry installation and wood flooring. He brought other talented guys to do granite and tile work. We have called John again for a guest bath update and most recently, some help with a patio cover. He's the best! read more
