Your Local Remodeling Expert in San Jose, CA

You have changed my mind about contractors...Thank you!

When I called your reference's, it seemed as though they were paid to say such great things about you, but now that I have had the chance for you to remodel my bathroom's, I know why they spoke so highly

Hi Sean-
Sorry I missed you this morning. Thank you for all the wonderful work you did for us. The bath remodel was wonderful and all the extra's done were very appreciated. The family room threshold looks great and fits perfectly ! Thank you so much for picking it out and installing it so quickly. Again, many thanks for an outstanding job !!!!

I found Sean on the Internet and have been very happy with the work he has done for us both on our rental in Capitola and our home in Los Gatos. His pricing is fair and he shows up when he says he is going to and does a complete job in a timely manner. I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for work to be done on their home.

Sean was one of the best contractors I've ever worked with and I highly recommend Sean and South Bay Remodel. Sean just completed my four (4) bathroom remodel and I couldn't be happier with the results! Sean provided an accurate quote and timeline, pulled permits quickly, always arrived on time, planned inspections and hired great sub-contractors. He even helped me find another contractor for the water heater that needed replacement. Sean and his crew always left the project areas clean and organized as we lived in the home during remodels. Above all, Sean was kind, thoughtful and trusted. If I have another remodel, I would definitely hire Sean again!

I have been working with Sean from South Bay Remodel for over two years and I plan on working with him for many more. He does quality work and is honest, which is hard to find in a contractor. To be honest, I keep looking for things for him to do just so he can come back. Love him!!

I've been using Sean as sub-contractor for tile, sheetrock, trim, and cabinets for years now, and have had nothing but excellent results. Sean knows his business, and he's pleasant to work with as well.

First to Review

Sean did great work in repairing our stuco repair work in our Kitchen, and also had a great painter handel the painting of our kitchen.

I'm long overdue writing a review for Sean. I've known him for years, and have been the beneficiary of his skills many, many times. Sean's "can do" personality and professionalism serve him well. He is pleasant to work with, personable, and really knows his stuff. Over the years, Sean has built fences for us, laid in a new floor, and most recently: "sistered" in a long, 20+ foot board to fix a serious crack in our garage joist (it was ready to fail catastrophically). I was particularly impressed by this last job, as my son (a Civil Engineer) and I were discussing how the proposed fix would clearly require 2-3 people to implement. When Sean showed up, he announced that he was by himself, because the person that was going to help him "bailed"-I was amazed that he somehow managed to do this all by himself! At home, I tend to pack my own parachute, and usually do not like to pay to have people come work on my house....but I do know my own limitations, and when the time comes that I need a professional-I call Sean. Keep up the good work, Sean!

We recently finished a full interior remodel of our home using South Bay Remodel and we are very pleased with the outcome. (All new kitchen and raised ceiling, bathrooms, flooring, paint, lighting, electrical). We interviewed many different contractors for this job, but found many of these contractors to be either very expensive or had confusing incomplete quotes. The search for a good contractor was consuming months of our time, so we finally asked a sales person at a carpet store if he knew of any good contractors. He gave us Sean's phone number, and said he thought Sean was the best he had worked with because of what Sean's clients had told him. Sean had us view three of his remodel jobs and talk to those clients to see how they liked working with him, before we had him quote our remodel. He gave us a very detailed quote with a time line for completion of different stages of the job, and the overall cost for the work was reasonable. We lived in the house while work was being done and Sean was careful to clean up as he went along, covered doorways with plastic, protected furniture. Working with Sean was a delight, he was easy going, arrives on time, flexible with changes, and is an honest trustworthy person. He's a very hard worker and always a happy guy that is a joy to have working on your home. I recommend South Bay Remodel completely.

Sean was recommended to us by the company that did our kitchen countertop installation. He was originally supposed to do just the plumbing for the faucet/sink, but after we decided at the last minute to have some electrical work done, he agreed to do some patching of the wall as well. While he was doing the plumbing, we asked him if there was a way to replace the bottom of the cabinet under the sink, which had warped badly due to some water damage several months earlier. He told us that it would be difficult to replace it since it was a structural part of the cabinet. His solution was to install a melamine board on top so that it was level, and then caulk around it. It was so well-done that we now show it to our friends along with our new countertops! After all the work he did, we were blown away by how reasonable the charge was. And despite several trips to our house to perform various jobs, he didn't actually charge us until he was finished with everything. Sean is a very polite, courteous, and good-humored guy in addition to being a wonder with most any work that needs to be done around the house.

Sean has taken care of complete remodeling of our bathrooms in San Jose (gutting out and building anew) and various renovation tasks in San Ramon (crown moulding, building fixed closets, etc.). The quality of the work is amazing. Sean takes pride in getting everything done perfectly. Costs are kept to a minimum, timelines are met, and he is absolutely wonderful to talk to. Would not go to anybody else for any remodeling needs in the future.

Sean has done several projects for us and has shown he is professional, knowledgeable and easy to talk to. He has been punctual, well prepared and does what he says he will do. I would recommend him to anyone who is doing a bathroom remodel or any other project. You won't go wrong having him do your next project.

Sean is a wonderful contractor! We needed our copper plumbing re-routed so we called Sean. He did a very good job, was fast, neat, knowledgeable, and his price was very good and affordable. We appreciated the fact that he took the time to listen to us and understand what we wanted done. We would absolutely call him again for any further remodeling we need done!

I have used South Bay Remodel twice and would recommend him to anyone needing any work done on their house. he is trust worth and very pleasant to work with, his prices are fair. very good work!!

Their address has changed to 1177 W. San Carlos in San Jose.

We had Sean remodel two bathrooms in our house and build a loft in our garage. He was honest, did what he promised, and showed when he said he would. We made a fair number of design changes during the course of the remodels. I think we had Sean's folks paint one bathroom three times before we got a color we liked. He was patient and didn't charge us for our mistakes.

His tile work is first class. I know because I've seen the tile work done in friends' bathrooms and Sean's work is just much better. I kind of hope this positive review doesn't make him too popular, because I plan to have him remodel our kitchen when we get the funds and our minds together.

Sean did an excellent job on our kitchen remodel. The changes were very extensive as we were basically replacing the entire kitchen and changing the layout. An entire counter with the underlying and associated overhead cabinets was taken out to open up the room. An 'L' counter was taken out and an island inserted. All the remaining cabinets, countertops and appliances were replaced. Additional tongue and groove hardwood flooring was melded in.

Sean was exceptionally helpful in getting us through the entire process. As we refined the kitchen design he provided tips on practical matters as well as useful ideas on the layout. He pointed us to a great place for the cabinets. Working with Sean it was clear his primary interest was in making sure that we were happy with the results. As questions came up during the work he always made sure that we were consulted.

He was very careful with his prep so that the work had a minimal impact on us. He taped plastic sheets around all the openings leading to the kitchen. The floors were protected with construction paper. At the end of day he cleaned up and vacuumed the work area.

He did a lot of the work himself, including the demolition, installation of the cabinets and appliances. He coordinated with the contractors for the electrical, countertops and flooring.
I'm very happy that we worked with Sean on the remodel. I'm very pleased with the results and highly recommend him.

Sean did a complete kitchen remodel for us and we could not have been happier !

We met Sean when he did our neighbor's kitchen. The work looked great and we went ahead with the project.

His team removed EVERYTHING down to the dry wall in our kitchen. He brought in electricians, floor installers, cabinet people, painters, and counter installers. All the people Sean worked with were excellent. Sean personally managed the whole remodel and did a lot of the more complicated work as well.

The whole project was completed on time and budget. The results were beautiful. The best thing is that we were so comfortable working with Sean we felt that he really was working hard to make us happy and we could trust him 100% with everything.

This is the first time remodel experience for us and the hardest thing is to select a contractor that you can trust. Sean delivered and we love our kitchen.

Now we are getting ready to do some exterior work and a new bathroom. Of course, we want Sean's company to do the job again.
We highly recommend South Bay Remodel.
