From start to finish, the entire team was professional, respectful, and easy to work with. They showed up on time every day and completed the project much faster than I expected without sacrificing any quality. It was clear they take real pride in their work. What really stood out was how they went above and beyond. They offered thoughtful design suggestions that truly elevated the final look, and their attention to detail was exceptional. Every finish is clean, precise, and beautifully done. If you're looking for a contractor who delivers high-quality craftsmanship, stays on schedule, and brings great expertise to the table, I highly recommend them. I would absolutely hire them again.

From start to finish, the entire team was reliable, on time, and within budget--something truly rare in construction. The management team, Jeff, Vitt and Justin, were fantastic partners throughout the process. Their architect, Valerie took all of our ideas and turned them into a design that exceeded our expectations, creating the dream home we hoped for. They guided us through key decisions, from fixtures to finishes, and connected us with excellent local suppliers like Mission Tiles in Soquel. They utilized Oxford Cabinets, who created an amazing custom kitchen and dry bar for us that perfectly complements our open-plan dining, kitchen, and living area. Their craftsmanship truly elevated the space. We couldn't be happier with the final result and highly recommend this team to anyone considering a custom home.

Their use of an online project management platform meant that we were never left wondering what was happening on any given day or what was next on the to-do list. Like most remodels, there were unexpected issues that needed to be addressed, but the CBB team was quick to offer solutions and keep the project on schedule. We were living onsite for the project and can attest that the CBB crew and all subs were punctual, efficient, polite, and kept the job site clean. They were so kind, put up with our constant questions, crazy kids, curious cats, and barking dogs! I can't say enough good things about CBB and recommend them to everyone embarking on a construction project.

WARNING: Do not shop here! Owner, John Hamlin and his staff…read moreLori, mislead, lie, cheat and overcharge! Not to mention they are utterly incompetent, inappropriate and lack any knowledge in kitchens or baths. We had so many problems and so many things went wrong, that it is hard to list everything in one post. We had to order and re-order the the bathroom hardware three times. Because, they didn't know what worked in California or not. After that, they did know what values covers matched what values. And, of course after the third time it was still wrong and we had already installed the valve, so we had to compromise and take the value cover we didn't intend on. During all this chaos, Lori lost track of all the parts we had to return and exchange due to her own incompetence and accused us of taking and not returning the parts. Parts that she could not find! Wow, really! Turns out they had them the entire time! She never apologize, coward! We also ordered wall cabinets and a bathroom vanity, from John. Like other customers reviews, we too did not get the correct cabinets for the space intended, as we were told. Our contractor had to take the time to correct cabinets for the kitchen and correct them to work in the bathroom, which was more money I had to pay! He even ordered the wrong sink, twice! Finally, the counter top vendor came and told us the sink was wrong and he could get the correct sink size(sink number 3), and cheaper than John could. The counter top guy was correct. And when confronted, the Owner; John's Hamlin's response was a shoulder shrug and a lame fake smile. Then, he mentioned the counter top vendor has done this many times, and John felt he had sinks to unload. Either way, it is not good. It makes John look week by letting a vendor over power him and his business or he looks incomplete that the vendor has to bail him out and he makes so many mistakes with sinks. If that wasn't enough, they overcharged us on parts, they changed us for things we did not have or use and they had things we paid for listed twice at two different prices! As an example, they changed us $442.46 for a faucet, which they said the gave us the "maximum discount"on! Turns out you can buy the same thing at Ferguson's, Home Depot or Amazon for as little as $379.90. When we went to dispute the final amount due, it took them an hour and twenty five minutes to comprehend and explain their own bill they submitted to us. And, they finally had to reduce the amount due from $958,75 to $588.54 because it was staring them in the face they were wrong! John clams to have over 34 years of experience, in what? If it is in Kitchens and baths, he must have been sleeping those 34 years. He and his business are a complete disaster.

I "worked with" a SCK&B designer on a small bathroom remodel several years ago. I used those quotes…read morebecause the guy did nothing that could be called work. I went in there with my own design for my bathroom in hand, and asked for help putting the project together. Maybe refining or adding to my design. Maybe advice on appropriate materials and fixtures. This "designer" was so useless that I ended up obtaining most of the materials myself, not from SCKB. Furthermore, he simply copied my design -- with zero changes -- and called it his. When the project was finished, this guy saved photos of the room and, I later found out, used them in his portfolio of completed designs. A room that I designed. This would be little more than an annoyance and maybe a funny story if it were not for the fact that in the middle of this process he demanded I write him a check -- made out to him, not his employer -- for a "consultation fee." I didn't know it at the time, but this was nothing but a shakedown. Theft. There was no consultation fee for his "services" (at least this was true at that time). The income for SCKB's "designers" came at that time from from commission on selling materials and fixtures and, I assume, a percentage of the contractor's fee (at that time they referred clients to independent builders, but it appears from their website that they may employ their own builders now). After I found out I'd been had, I contacted the owners of SCK&B and told them the whole story, and was blown off without any explanation. And here is the kicker: the guy was still working at SCK&B as recently as two years ago. So they kept him on even knowing that he did this. This was my experience with SCK&B. Your mileage may vary. Needless to say, I don't recommend this business.

I first hired them to renovate two bathrooms last year and was so pleased with the results that I brought them back for a full kitchen remodel--which just wrapped up successfully. Their pricing is competitive, and the quality of work is very good. I was especially impressed with the electrical and tile work on both projects. The foreman and crews are skilled, professional, and efficient. Even though I had a designer, Keith and his team offered thoughtful suggestions that made the final result even more aligned with my vision. A couple things to keep in mind: as with any contractor, make sure to read your quotes carefully--I missed that trim work wasn't included in the original painting estimate. Also, the teams tend to start early, which was fine for me but might require a heads-up to your neighbors if noise is a concern. Overall, highly recommend them for home renovation projects!
