General Contractor & Home Remodeling in San Jose

CSLB #115865784 W Santa Clara St, Suite 700San Jose, CA 95113
One contractor, one coordinated scope
From first drawing to final inspection.
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.
R&B Master Construction Inc. discusses San Jose remodeling from its downtown headquarters at 84 W Santa Clara St, Suite 700, San Jose, CA 95113. Call (650) 800-9661 or email info@rbmasterconstruction.com before a visit so the meeting can be confirmed. The license is California CSLB #1158657. Listed hours are Monday–Sunday, open 24 hours, Pacific Time. That listing does not by itself mean a staffed lobby is open. This page is for homeowners talking through general-contracting scope: kitchens, bathrooms, additions and remodels. A new house is a different conversation, on the Custom home builder in San Jose page. Willow Glen, Cambrian, Almaden Valley and Evergreen are planning neighborhoods already listed below. Naming them does not claim a finished project in those areas. The R&B Master Construction homepage is the Bay Area overview.

Planning by neighborhood.
In Willow Glen and Rose Garden, document the existing house and any prior alterations before planning a kitchen or bathroom redesign. In Cambrian, Almaden Valley, Berryessa and Evergreen, distinguish fixture replacement from changes to walls, utilities or floor area. San Jose confirms requirements for each property's actual scope.
Neighborhood planning notes, not claims of completed projects in these areas.
San José permit paths
Minor remodel or a larger alteration?
Separate a fixture replacement from a layout change before you talk about permits. The City of San Jose confirms which application fits the address and the work. Do not assume an online permit covers moved walls or added floor area.
- Same layout or a new one. Note whether fixtures and walls stay in place. San Jose decides whether that scope can use an online permit.
- Layout changes. Moving fixtures or walls should be written into the scope before anyone assumes the same review path.
- Additions and ADUs. Ask the City which checklist applies to the address. This page does not assign a square-footage cutoff or a bulletin number.
- Inspections. When inspections are part of the written proposal, R&B can schedule them as each phase is ready. The City sets the inspection list.
Before your estimate
Three things to bring.
Bring any existing floor plan and note walls you hope to remove, widen or open to another room.
List work outside the room, such as a panel change, new plumbing runs or repairs that should be priced with the remodel.

San Jose general contractor questions.
Every home is different. Let’s talk through the details of yours.
Where is R&B Master Construction's San Jose office?
Our headquarters is downtown at 84 W Santa Clara St, Suite 700, San Jose, CA 95113. Call (650) 800-9661 or email info@rbmasterconstruction.com to discuss a San Jose project and confirm arrangements before visiting.
What does a San Jose general contractor handle on a remodel?
On a San Jose remodel, R&B Master Construction Inc. can prepare drawings when the scope needs them and coordinate the trades named in the written scope. Permit questions are discussed with the City of San Jose for that address. A permit is not promised as part of every job. The City decides which application, if any, fits the work.
What is the difference between a minor and a major remodel permit in San José?
Write down whether the fixtures and walls stay in place. San Jose decides if that scope can use an online permit or needs plan review. This page does not define the cutoff.
Can I start with a kitchen or bath only?
Yes. A San Jose project can start with a kitchen or a bathroom and leave the rest of the house for later. Kitchen remodeling in San Jose and bathroom remodeling in San Jose are the pages for those rooms.
Do you build custom homes from the San Jose office?
Yes. New custom homes are discussed from this office on the Custom home builder in San Jose page, where that scope belongs. This page stays with remodeling and general contracting. The lot and the City determine the permit path for a new house.
