South Bay / R&B Master Construction Inc.
Home remodeling
in San Jose.
A San Jose kitchen or bathroom project starts with a practical distinction: are the fixtures and walls staying in place, or is the layout changing? R&B Master Construction Inc. can discuss the renovation, the work behind the finishes and any larger improvements you want to coordinate with it.
The work behind your ideas
Explore your San Jose remodel.
As your general contractor, our role is defined by the agreed scope. Start with the work you need and explore the details before combining it into a larger project.
Kitchen remodeling
Make the everyday work of cooking, gathering and storing easier. Start with the layout and practical details, then bring cabinetry, surfaces and lighting into one considered space.
Scope and planning guide 02Bathroom remodeling
A bathroom should be comfortable to use and carefully planned beneath the finishes. Consider the layout, water management, fixtures and lighting as one complete room.
Scope and planning guide 03Whole-home remodeling
When a home needs more than cosmetic updates, look at the layout, systems and finishes together. A coordinated renovation can address the work behind the walls as well as the rooms you use every day.
Scope and planning guide 04Home additions & extensions
R&B builds additions connected to existing homes in the Bay Area. Create an extra bedroom, expand a kitchen or living room, or plan flexible space for what comes next, with the new structure and the original home considered together.

Minor remodel or a larger alteration?
San Jose publishes a dedicated guide for minor kitchen and bathroom remodels and an online permit path for qualifying work. Use that guide to check the proposed scope. Moving walls or fixtures should be identified before assuming the same process applies. The city's permit team determines the appropriate review for the property.
Before the first conversation
Bring the details that matter.
- 01
Mark which kitchen appliances or bathroom fixtures will stay in their current positions and which you want to move.
- 02
Bring any existing floor plan and note walls you hope to remove, widen or open to another room.
- 03
List work outside the room, such as a panel change, new plumbing runs or repairs that should be priced with the remodel.
San Jose kitchen and bathroom remodeling
Find the right scope before comparing remodel estimates.
For a San Jose kitchen, note whether the cabinets and appliances will be replaced in place, or whether plumbing, walls and electrical work will move. For a bathroom, identify shower or tub changes, fixture relocations, waterproofing work and any signs of hidden damage. These choices help determine the drawings, inspections and construction tasks to discuss.

Read the guideBefore you begin
Planning your San Jose project.
Every home is different. Let’s talk through the details of yours.
Can my San Jose kitchen or bathroom use a minor-remodel permit?
Possibly. San Jose has a specific minor-remodel process, but the scope must meet the city's conditions. Compare the planned work with its official guide and confirm the permit path before setting a construction start date.
Can I discuss a remodeling project in San Jose?
Yes. Share the property city, the work you have in mind and your preferred timing. R&B Master Construction Inc. will confirm project fit and availability before a scope or construction schedule is agreed.
How is the project price established?
A useful proposal depends on the existing conditions, the scope, materials and responsibilities. Share a budget range if you have one. A room size or city name alone is not enough to establish a final construction price.
Who handles drawings, permits and inspections?
Those responsibilities should be defined for the project before construction. Tell us whether an architect or engineer is already involved and whether an application has been submitted. The local jurisdiction determines the required reviews and inspections.
