    gorgeous teal blue cabinets that will house everything!
    Pamela R.

    Terrific service. Vast selection. Commitment to customer satisfaction. Gin took my sketchy plans and designed an awesome kitchen for me in 2024. I was so confident in their abilities and products that I had him produce a new kitchen and bath design for an apartment I'm adding to my San Francisco home.

    This place has a great selection of kitchen and bathroom tiles and counter tops. With a few showrooms too. Lots of staff on hand to help and give advice. They also have samples of countertops slabs so you can bring home to match up with colors at home. A convenient place to go to for updating your home and they have their own carpark.

    If you're looking for affordable good quality products they don't break the bank! Look no further! I'm not gate keeping on this gem when I recommend my clients to browse for ideas on tiles, bathroom & kitchen designs! The pricing is fair and they have a great attentive sales team who help right! Highly recommended!

    Jin was FANTASTIC to work with from beginning to end! He is extremely knowledgable, responsive, flexible and provided exceptional service. We looked at many of the other building supply companies in the Bay Area and East Star provided the most variety for all our needs with competitive pricing. It was a one-stop shop and Jin's customer service was top notch. Highly recommend!

    East Star Building Supply is a great company to do business with! They keep a huge inventory in stock and are always updating it with the latest design trends. Their pricing is competitive, and the staff is knowledgeable and helpful. Ray is an outstanding salesman--his excellent communication and deep knowledge of the construction and remodeling process made everything easy and straightforward.

    Cabinets were cracked.  Cabinet doors had scratches.  not happy with the cabinets or the customer service.

    East Star, it says here that you plan to reopen tomorrow. Is that correct? I tried to call but nobody is answering the phone. Thank you!

    Is East Star open during the quarantine?

My parents purchased a…read morerangehood from them several years ago and the LED light already went out (LED lights typically have a lifespan of 11 years - we barely had ours for 3 years. I believe their warranty expires at 2 so what's the point anyway? That's how they get you). I emailed Tatsumaki asking how I can purchase a new light and if they have any recommendations on how the life of the light can be prolonged. I heard back from someone named Calvin a week later who only answered a part of my email, stating that they sell the lights. I emailed back requesting to purchase 2 lights (a back up in case the LED that's suppose to last 11 years dies after 2 again), and I didn't hear back for another week. I sent a follow up this time, still didn't hear back for another few days. Calvin replied that he can send me a purchase order link to pay but didn't send the link in that email (why????????) and I replied back right away saying, yes I would like that link. I didn't hear back for another week, and I sent another follow up requesting the link. I even called 3 times, don't waste your time calling because they never answer or get back to you. When I finally made my payment I noticed the purchase order only listed 1 light when I had requested 2, so I emailed Calvin, and after days, he replied "the order lists 1 but it comes with 2" - okay fine - well my parents received the order and of course it came with 1 damn light. I emailed him back right away, frustrated that this whole process has taken me a whole month only to get the incorrect quantity that I even verified after purchasing. This process as a whole took at least 6 weeks. So fregging ridiculous. Calvin was unapologetic of the companies mistakes and inefficiency. Literally the worst customer service I've experienced thus far. TLDR: Their customer service is ridiculous, they take at least a week to get back to you and they do not work efficiently. It took me a month to communicate (via email - I tried calling 3 times, they never answer or get back to you) to them that I wanted to purchase a light, and when it came, it was the incorrect quantity even though I emailed Calvin at the time of purchase stating I wanted 2 but the order form said 1, he said "It comes with two" AND IT DIDN'T. The entire process took ~ 6 weeks, and they/Calvin was unapologetic. Please consider a new system/process because whatever the process is at the moment is clearly ineffective and unproductive.

She sat back for a full 10 minutes and gave it serious thought before she made recommendations that were spot on in terms of style, function, and budget * Jennifer was highly collaborative, courteous, and humorous, stayed calm at all times, and was very reassuring. She's honest but diplomatic if you've made a selection she thinks you won't be happy with. * Jennifer was knowledgeable about her own inventory as well as products they don't even carry so she could compare them for you * When asked, she was quite honest about the quality of each fixture (frequency of problems and number of returns), and the integrity of the manufacturer (do they stand behind their products). This is information you can't get doing an internet search * Jennifer's estimates of delivery dates were 100% accurate. Some items even came in early. * Jennifer clearly identified which fixtures were returnable without a restocking fee (standard in-stock items) and which were not returnable (custom orders) * Excel Plumbing is open on Saturdays. Many plumbing supply houses are not * The average discount over the entire order was substantial for the fixtures we bought, and was better than that offered by any other showroom In addition to all of that, Jennifer understands the emotional toll from renovations and reduces concerns where she can: * Your home is in chaos and daily routines are disrupted (she can't help you there) * The wide selection of brands can be daunting (she helps you cut through the clutter of information, and whittle down the options) * You are concerned about making costly mistakes (she helps you make choices with confidence and can also point you towards products that can be returned without penalty) * You might feel urgency to get the renovation done before holiday guests arrive (she can tell you which items are in stock and if not in stock, which manufacturers' estimated delivery dates are reliable) * Your contractor may be pressing you towards products you don't want or like (she can help you identify alternative products you do like) Jennifer has our highest recommendation.

    We had a wonderful experience with KZ. We randomly stopped by to ask the designer Bailey on what to…read moreconsider for deciding on the remodeling layouts. Bailey was very approachable and knowledgeable. He provided stylistic and customized insights to help us create great designs for both the kitchen and the bathrooms. Bailey is truly genuine to help the clients without any pushiness, so we felt very comfortable to rely on his advice. He helped us arrange for the kitchen cabinets, countertops, tiles, and many accessories, often following up with calls to confirm details with contractors. Everything turned out beautifully. Highly recommend!

    KZ was one of the reasons my recent remodel finished in four weeks…read more I started at KZ early in the process after visiting a few other stores and feeling both underwhelmed by their selections and overwhelmed by figuring out what I actually needed. On that first visit I met Bailey, who ended up becoming a key part of the project. I came in with measurements from my contractor, rough layout ideas, and a general sense of what I wanted: drawers instead of mostly base cabinets, quartz countertops, and a way to turn a small, dysfunctional kitchen into something thoughtfully designed with proper prep space. Bailey took those requests and my contractor's initial mockups and developed a layout. I was immediately impressed by his thoughtfulness and attention to detail. He also included things I would not have known to ask for, including a blind corner pull out "peanut" cabinet that turned dead space into some of the most usable storage in the kitchen. He explained his decisions when asked and found solutions as needed, for example suggesting a microwave cabinet when I mentioned not knowing where to put that. I left excited about the project and hopeful it could actually come together. He was consistently responsive to my many questions afterward. He sent estimates for different options so I could compare costs, such as a 4-inch versus full-height backsplash, and shared renderings of the cabinet and countertop combination. Seeing the space rendered that early was a significant moment for me. His involvement continued well beyond placing the order. As the project progressed, Bailey made sure everything was delivered properly, communicated directly with my contractor, answered questions as they came up, kept suggesting ways to improve the project, and made sure everything was set up correctly for countertop templating. The fabricator, Rafael, was also excellent and did a beautiful job. He and Bailey suggested adding another slab of quartz so we could do a full waterfall on the exposed ends of the counter. I took their advice and I am very glad I did. It made a huge difference and made that part of the design feel complete. I was also happy with KZ's pricing and selection. I visited four cabinet and countertop stores, and KZ had the best overall selection I found. Their prices were extremely competitive without sacrificing features or quality. The cabinets have plywood boxes, soft-close doors and drawers, and full-extension drawers, and they arrived fully assembled rather than flat-packed. My contractor had specifically told me not to buy RTA cabinets and these were straightforward for him to install. All of my other interactions with KZ were positive too. Delivery drivers called ahead, other employees in the store were helpful, and the factory expedited part of my order for an additional charge when my fast schedule required it. One thing worth mentioning for anyone considering KZ is the type of experience they provide. This is not a full-service design firm where someone makes every selection and manages every detail for you. I had to be a little assertive on my first visit because there were a limited number of design/sales reps available, but once I connected with Bailey the experience was excellent. You will get the most out of KZ if you come in with measurements and some idea of what you want, are willing to look around and give input, and are okay following up with questions. When I did reach out, Bailey was very responsive. Some practical things to know: they do not offer financing, some costs such as fabrication are settled separately and in cash, and delivery is extra if you cannot pick up the order yourself. Mine was around $500 for 18 cabinets plus panels and hardware, delivered about an hour away. I think some of the savings come from this model, but it helps to have the right expectations. My entire remodel took about four weeks, including a full primary bathroom and extensive changes throughout the house, with the KZ order placed roughly one week before construction began. A lot of the credit goes to my excellent contractor, but KZ's responsiveness, timely deliveries, and efficient work were a major factor in keeping things moving. It was night and day compared with buying my other materials through large home improvement stores. When I had questions or concerns, it usually took a simple text to Bailey to resolve them. I am super happy with the finished kitchen and with my experience at KZ. I recommend them to anyone looking for cabinets or countertops, and I am especially grateful to Bailey and Rafael for how much care they put into my project.

The showroom is well laid out, two floors, attractive, not confusing, with a range of prices from, say, Delta, Moen and Kohler to higher end brands.

It's important to see and touch as many of these products as you can. We worked with Keoki Garner. He was well informed, timely, easily available, and collaborative. He stayed cheerful when I overrode him and then changed things last minute (due to my own mistakes.) I loved that I could do research on Build.com and then bring it to Keoki. He never upsold or resisted when I went, say, for Kohler over Grohe. Everything so far has been delivered impeccably and undamaged. Build.com offers an enormous range of products, and I like that too. You can return within a reasonable amount of time. We haven't started construction yet but almost everything is sourced and in the garage.We have a clear billing record so much came from Build.com.
