“B&B remodeled my guest and master bathrooms after a bad experience with another contractor. We were pleased with the superior standard of workmanship. The good communication with all members of the team. we were assigned Daniel, as our project manager who went above and beyond to assist us when we ran into issues of materials procurement. We were also assigned an assistant project manager and a designer who assisted with all material purchases and questions and helped get them ready before our project started. The project was delayed a bit but still completed within the promised time frame. The price was reasonable, and we are happy with the end results.”

“We worked with Zion and his team for remodeling 3 bathrooms, some improvements in the kitchen and remodel a fireplace wall. BnB handled all the permits and inspections smoothly. Miguel was our foreman and his crew including Angel & Giovani were all really skilled and good at their job! Miguel himself is very hands-on and aims for perfection in his work. Even after the project. Zion has been very responsive for any fixes and tweaks to have a better finish to the work. We would recommend them for your next home improvement project! Special mention for Brenda for going above and beyond her role! The team put in extra hours to get our home ready for move-in and we are very grateful. Thank you BnB Team.”

“Brother and Brother Builders can be trusted and relied on. I took my permitted plans for a one-bedroom apartment above existing garage to them and they made it a reality! Daniel, Nick and Zion kept me updated on all aspects of the project including timing, budget, finish materials and delays(yes PGE…). The communication with the brother and brother team is top notch as well as the build quality. You simply cannot find this from every company. If you are lucky enough to work with Brother and Brother, you cannot go wrong.”

“I’ve never really had a bad contractor, but I have now experienced a great one. My project was completed on time, and everything went smoothly. Reem was very available and responded timely to my questions. Elinor did a fantastic job of helping me find the right porcelain, tile, cabinetry and fixtures AND she provided an awesome 3D rendition of both my bathroom and kitchen. Excellent communication. Julio and team did an exceptional job, everything they did was done with attention to detail. I’m so glad I found Brother and Brother Building, I couldn’t be any happier. Professional, top notch and definitely competitively priced. You will not regret hiring them for your next project.”
Yvette Bonnet
“My wife recently contacted Brother and Brother Builders to renovate our house, and we have nothing but praise for these builders. Reem and his staff provided committed management and went above and beyond to make sure that everything was completed to our satisfaction throughout the process. Reem kept me updated about every step of the project. The job did take a little longer than anticipated, but the outcome was worthwhile. The team is of the highest caliber, and I am delighted with the result.”

Meeting All Your Needs
Expert General Contractors in San Jose, CA
Our team includes licensed general contractors, certified designers, and experienced project managers. We take pride in:
- Meeting deadlines while maintaining quality standards.
- Following OSHA-compliant safety procedures.
- Maintaining constant communication throughout your project.
We don’t just build structures—we build relationships based on trust and results.
Our Remodeling Process
We simplify your remodel with a structured, five-step process:
- Initial Consultation: We visit your home for free, assess the space, and listen to what you actually want before recommending anything.
- Design Phase: Our in-house designers produce 3D renderings, material selections, and an itemized budget. You see the finished kitchen or bathroom before demolition starts.
- Permits & Planning: We file directly with San Jose’s Department of Planning, Building and Code Enforcement and coordinate every inspection. You never chase paperwork.
- Construction: A dedicated project manager runs your job site daily. Crews follow OSHA-compliant safety procedures and keep the work area clean between visits.
- Final Walkthrough: We inspect every detail with you and resolve punch-list items before we close the project.
The kitchen is where San Jose homes earn their keep, and it’s the room we remodel most. Most full kitchen remodels with our team run $50,000 to $80,000, depending on layout changes, cabinetry, and countertop material. Our kitchen services include:
- Custom kitchen design with 3D renderings
- Custom hardwood cabinets and cabinet refacing
- Quartz, granite, and butcher block countertop replacement
- Tile, glass, marble, and mosaic backsplash installation
- Open-concept layout conversions, including load-bearing wall assessment
- Electrical, plumbing, and LED lighting updates
Many pre-1960s homes in neighborhoods like Willow Glen and Rose Garden have compact, closed-off kitchens with electrical panels that were never sized for modern appliances. We check panel capacity during design, not during demolition.
A bathroom remodel typically takes 3 to 5 weeks of construction once permits are in hand. We handle bathroom design, complete bathroom renovations, shower remodels, tub-to-shower conversions, vanity replacement, and custom tile work. Our design team plans storage, lighting, and ventilation together, so the finished bathroom works as well as it photographs. Every fixture is installed by licensed trades and inspected to code.

We are licensed, bonded, and insured, and we build across Northern California with a focus on San Jose and Santa Clara County. Our expertise spans room additions, comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodels, and every phase of home construction. One company handles your project from the first sketch to the final inspection — no handoffs between a design firm and a separate builder.
Building a home from the ground up requires a contractor who manages engineering, permitting, and construction as one process. We build custom homes, complete home remodels, and structural additions throughout the South Bay. Our construction services include:
- New home construction and custom builds
- Second-story additions and room additions
- ADU design and construction — San Jose actively supports ADU development, and we manage the city process end to end
- Garage conversions
- Green building options that meet California’s Title 24 energy standards
Our integrated design-build approach puts architects, designers, and builders on the same team. You see your project in 3D before construction begins, and design decisions are priced in real time instead of discovered as change orders. Services include architectural design, 3D home design tools, floor plan development, interior space planning, and permit-ready construction documents that meet San Jose building requirements.
Every San Jose home tells a different story, and we customize our approach to match. From walk-in closet design and built-in storage to wallpaper installation, interior decorating, custom tile work, and smart home upgrades, we handle the details that make a house fit the people living in it.
