Planning a Kitchen Remodel? Read This First
Thinking about remodeling your kitchen? You’re not alone. It’s one of the most impactful upgrades you can make to your home, but it can also get overwhelming fast.
At Subia Construction, we’ve helped dozens of Bay Area homeowners transform outdated kitchens into clean, functional spaces they’re proud to cook and entertain in. Here’s what we want you to know before you dive in:
1. Start With the Layout
Before picking tile or countertops, think about how you use your kitchen. Do you need more prep space? Want to open it up to the living room? A smart layout makes everything else fall into place.
2. Set a Realistic Budget
We don’t believe in surprise invoices. That’s why we work with you to set a real number from the start—based on local labor, material, and permitting costs. Want high-end finishes? We’ll show you what that actually costs so there are no surprises later.
3. Choose Durable Materials
Quartz over marble. Plywood boxes over particleboard. Soft-close hardware. We’ll help you balance design with durability so your kitchen still looks great five years from now.
4. Expect Some Disruption
Let’s be honest—kitchen remodels are messy. We prep the job site, isolate the dust, and keep your home clean and secure. But yes, your kitchen will be out of commission for a bit. We’ll walk you through how to prep and minimize the stress.
5. Work With a Crew You Trust
With Subia Construction, Joey personally manages your kitchen remodel from demo to final wipe-down. We use trusted subs, stay on schedule, and keep you in the loop every step of the way.
The Subia Promise
We remodel kitchens like we’re working in our own homes: clean, smart, and built to last.
I got myself into a bind and needed someone who was available soon to install new countertops in my kitchen. Thankfully I found Joey who was able to provide a clear estimate and quick turnaround time for the job. He continually checked in to see if I was happy with the progress and the crew did a great job with my counters.

Joey and his team are fantastic! I have had them for 4 different projects for me, and each fabrication/installation was perfect. They are easy to work with, detail oriented and competitive on pricing. Be sure to give them a call for your project!

Last night, I looked out the window and found Joey still working on our project at 10pm. By the end of today, it was all done, sparkling and new. I've never, ever seen such work ethic and quality in a contractor.

I really enjoyed working with Joey. He was very professional and went above and beyond to find the way to provide what we wanted within our budget. He always responded immediately and kept me informed about every single thing. It was very easy to talk to him and listened what my wife and I wanted in our kitchen. I really recommend Joey!
