Peninsula / R&B Master Construction Inc.
Home remodeling
in San Mateo.
For a San Mateo renovation, the visible improvements and the supporting systems should be planned together. A new kitchen layout can affect wiring, plumbing and ventilation as well as cabinets. We can discuss how to define those responsibilities and the construction sequence before you finalize the materials and room layout.
The work behind your ideas

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.

Local planning / San Mateo
Look beyond the building permit alone.
San Mateo's Building Permits page distinguishes building, electrical, mechanical and plumbing work. That is a useful checklist for a renovation involving several trades. Its Online Permit Center provides application access, but the required permits and documents still need to match the specific scope.
Before the first conversation
Bring the details that matter.
- 01
Identify fixed appliances, panel work or relocated electrical connections that accompany the room design.
- 02
List plumbing fixture moves and ventilation changes rather than leaving them out of a finishes-only description.
- 03
Clarify whether an architect or other design professional is already preparing plans and which revisions remain open.

Read the guideBefore you begin
Planning your San Mateo project.
Every home is different. Let’s talk through the details of yours.
Should I discuss trade permits for a San Mateo remodel?
Yes. San Mateo publishes separate descriptions for building, electrical, mechanical and plumbing permits. A project involving several systems should account for those scopes together. The city and project team should confirm the applicable requirements before construction begins.
Can I discuss a remodeling project in San Mateo?
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.
