About

MKW has now remodeled two bathrooms for us.   Betty and Eric were so personal and enthusiastic about picking out the  materials and design for both.   Scott and his crew were skilled and proficient at doing the work.   So professional and personal at the same time.   We have loved working with them!

Marin Kitchen Works did an absolutely outstanding job on my kitchen and bath remodel.  The Sundberg family and their team are personable, efficient, timely and professional.  We stayed on budget and on schedule and I couldn't be more thrilled with the final project!

Design, and workmanship were all superb. Yes there were minor glitches as with all construction projects. The final product a brand new functional kitchen. We are very pleased.

Absolutely no problems at all. They ripped out the old kitchen and installed brand a brand new one. Good quality materials. More expensive than I had anticipated but your paying for quality, workmanship and attention to detail.

Betty, Scott, Eric, and their crew did a wonderful redesign and reface of our kitchen. Their craftsman did beautiful work on the tile walls and quartz counter tops. And as with any project, where there has been a small problem, they have had excellent follow through. We love walking into our kitchen.

The crew was professional and efficient. The workmanship and quality of materials are superb. We took our time with design decisions, and MKW listened and worked patiently with us. We are very happy with our new kitchen and the rest of the remodel

I have worked with Marin Kitchen Works for over 15 years as MFG rep. They are the Premier Design Build firm that is well respected in Marin Co. It is a pleasure working with a company that pays attention to detail and happy to have them represent our products in such a professional manner.

very professional, creative and cost effective as well as extremely friendly and willing to go extra mile to satisfy customer

Truly professional and such a fun wonderful team to work with. The staff will listen to your needs and implement your vision into a master piece. They are extremely knowledgeable and OH so talented! When you use them you'll fall in love with your home all over again and wonder why you didn't call them sooner. I can recommend Marin Kitchen Works without reservation for a large or small job.

My dream kitchen came to life thanks to Betty and her team.  Now 7 years on, I still love it.  If I've had minor tweaks to do, they come out, fix it, and "have a nice day".  Professional and knowledgeable and they listen to what you want, and how much you have to spend.  Great team.  Thank you!

I’ve been working with Betty, Scott, and Eric Sundborg at Marin Kitchen Works for over 4 years now and I can tell you this; you will not find a better more dedicated team for doing a full remodel or just a kitchen counter top!  They have decades of experience and can design and build whatever their clients need. Tami Haven

Marin Kitchen Works remodeled my kitchen.  I was dreading the process, but Scott and Betty made it easy.  The workman were all pleasant to be around and did very good work.  When ever a decision had to be made Scott and Betty were there to help.  Our kitchen was transformed.

We happily vouch for Marin Kitchen Works.  We actually enjoyed both the experience of collaborating with the MKW staff (Betty Sundborg - owner/designer and consultant, Scott Sundborg - her brother and foreman, and the rest of their crew) on three separate projects over seven years.  We continue to appreciate the beautiful and functional rooms they created in two very different settings – the kitchen and bathrooms in a two-story farm house and the entire kitchen/dining/living area in a contemporary beachhouse.  We found each of the staff to be responsive to what we said and also to what we wanted, but didn’t know how to describe.  

Betty suggested excellent ideas and products that fit our style preferences and budget, and she was patient and helpful in our decision-making.  Scott and his crew communicated well with us, worked efficiently, and did what they said they would do.  After hearing our praise for their work and seeing our outcomes, two local families employed Marin Kitchen Works, and each of them was as pleased as we were with their own remodeling process and results.

I love my kitchen!  Cabinets are exactly what I wanted and the Quartz counter top looks so nice with them.  I appreciate all Marin Kitchen Works did to help me choose my design.  This is the 2nd kitchen they have designed and installed for me and both experiences went smoothly. 
Also love: my sink-Nantucket single bowl - depth is perfect;
                 my faucet: Moen Motion Sense
If I ever move again, Marin Kitchen Works will be my go to for upgrade needs!
Thanks to the entire staff: Betty, Kelly, Scott, Clint & Eric

These guys are great! Very professional, friendly, and patient. I worked with Scott, Betty, and Eric. But the whole team has a great reputation and came highly recommended. Thanks for helping me with my kitchen remodel.

Fabulous kitchen remodel.  Fifteen years later a gorgeous bathroom remodel.  Great
ideas, designs, and workmanship. Will hire Marin Kitchen Works for the third time to remodel my second bathroom.

Marin Kitchen Works is the best! Betty and Scott make a great team, not to mention the great staff that follows their lead. Seamless service and vast knowledge of the work make this business a special breed. Nice to know that there are still contractors out there that actually care about the customer. Our job was perfect, Scott even took the time out to look at an electrical issue for me, which he fixed. Above and beyond, Marin Kitchen works is the way to go! Thank you so much!

Marin Kitchen Works remodeled a one bedroom condo in central Marin.  The original condition was poor at best.  The contractor had no trouble climbing around  the ceiling, examining the entire space, coming up with excellent drawings, giving us a very accurate estimate, getting permits etc.  Most importantly, the workmanship was excellent.  The site supervisor was positively the best, easy to work with, spotted lots of issues.  The job was on time and beautifully done. 
Many thanks

The people at Marin Kitchen Works are so enjoyable to work with and know their business, from helping design the kitchen or bath remodel that not only fits your space restrictions and meets your budget while accomplishing your dream to the on-time completion of all the work.  While performing the work, they are extra careful to keep the mess to a minimum and the quality of their work is exceptional.  In addition, their crew is so personable that you look forward to their just being their.  You can trust them.  And the completed work brings nothing but compliments and praise from your friends and neighbors.  Later, should anything go wrong, they are johnny-on-the-spot with repairs, without any additional cost to you.  It was no wonder that after the superb remodel of our kitchen that we had them back several years later to remodel two baths and two bedrooms.  The master bath is now what one would expect to find in any five star hotel.

We had Marin Kitchen Works remodel our kitchen with resale in mind.  From design to the final install including coming back to repair a cabinet panel we damaged, they were top notch.  They were extremely professional, flexible, knowledgeable in the design area as well as in the install.  It was apparent they had a wealth of experience as there was no challenge that they couldn't handle.

Even when they referred  us to other contractors out side of their scope of work, those professionals were also top in their fields.  I wouldn't hesitate working with Marin Kitchen Works again and have recommended them may times.

MKW did a complete master bath renovation. They took the walls down to the studs, replaced flooring, re-did shower stall, added free standing tub and filler, new counters and sinks and faucets etc, their contractors were excellent and very nice to work with. Betty Sandborg worked with me on the complete design and managed the entire project. I was very pleased with the final result. They did a great job.

We hired Betty to update our Eichler Kitchen- removing an unfortunate wall addition, building a new island and reskinning some existing cabinets.  Betty has an excellent eye for colors and materials and she stocks everything in the show room.  We were able to take samples and spend lots of time looking at them in different lighting conditions.  Betty received some new cabinet fronts after we had finished our design but before construction.  She called us and said she thought they would fit our design better and she was right.  
Betty and Scott worked together to solve some of our design dilemmas with creativity took pride in their work and cleaned up thoroughly at the end of the day.  They even made sure out dog did not get loose in the construction commotion.   The flooring, backsplash and countertop sub-contractors that she recommended were all top notch.  
We love our new light filled kitchen with its harmonious materials and colors- thanks to the great people at Marin Kitchen works.

Marin Kitchen Work is a wonderful company to work with.  This is my second kitchen remodel project in 18 years where I have used their services.  I highly recommend them, in fact Betty and Scott and most of their team did both of my kitchens, so the consistency and quality of their work speaks for itself.
Their bids are reasonable, they work within your budget and the work gets completed on time.  They are true professionals and during construction they are even delightful people to have working in your house.  They are extremely detail oriented and if something is not right they come back to finish it, they want you to be happy with your kitchen....and I am!

I am a colleague and a customer of Marin Kitchen Works, Inc.  As a designer professional, I am inspired by MKW's design expertise and follow through.  I hired the team for display installations which were performed professionally to my high expectation.  Marin Kitchen Works is the rare combination of great design and expert installation in one full service company.

The team at Marin Kitchen Works is extremely professional, courteous and always willing to go the extra mile for its clients. The always show up on time and take their job seriously. The staff also know how to interact and make you feel like you are a friend. I have used them at three of my homes and will continue to use them for future woork as well!

I've had the extreme pleasure of working with Marin Kitchen Works for over two years now as a fabricator for their countertops.  The work we see before, during, and after jobs is phenomenal! I am always hearing fantastic feedback from the customers regarding the craftsmanship, design, and the trust that each customer has with everyone at MKW.

Marin Kitchen Works completely remodeled our very old, dilapidated and small master bath starting from scratch.   They moved the shower from one side of the room to the other, installed heated flooring, put in new lighting, ceiling fan,window, tiling, etc.   We found them to be very professional, experienced, and easy to work with.   The design team was great with wonderful ideas for color, texture and style.  They were very reliable and responsible with great knowledge of permit requirements.

Marin Kitchen Works did a facelift to our kitchen/family room Feb - July 2014.  They painted the cabinets, put on new doors and hardware, moved the microwave to the island, installed a range hood, new sinks, faucets, granite counters, lighting, etc.  The subcontractors they used were all perfectionists, from dry wall to tile and wood floors.  We were pleased with their work and their receptivity to changes.

Marin Kitchen Works remodeled our formal dining room with new floors and walls, paint, etc.  We were very happy with the work they did!  They were timely and careful and everyone there is very friendly and knowledgeable.

Marin Kitchen Works, hands down, has been a wonderful bright spot in my family's life. They have transformed our home into a living masterpiece. I'm still amazed at the design, craftsmanship, and materials, a year later, when I walk through different parts of our home. Their work is truly a gift that keeps on giving. When I think of Marin Kitchen Works, I think of a close-knit family, which is exactly what they are. Betty Sundborg, their lead designer, blew me away with the vision she had had for different parts of our home. I thought I had vision but she took it to a whole new level. It's not that she's just hip, she just has a lot (and I mean a lot) of experience and stays on top of her game in terms of what designs and materials are current and popular. She loves what she does. And to me, I think thats why our home now is so over the top. Her brother Scott, although more responsible for oversight duties rather than designing, is quite the visionary too. When Scott and Betty are together in the room taking a look at your home, magic happens! They encourage each other to make the most of your space/s and budget, and because of this, I always felt like I was the one who was really winning! Scott's son, Eric, too, although a young man, impressed me with his budding sense of vision. As a family business, Marin Kitchen Works will continue their legacy of transforming homes in Marin when he takes over running the business after Betty and Scott retire, just like Scott and Betty inherited the business from their father. Scott's wife, Cindy, was also involved, namely in painting the interior of our home - and she is delightful to be around as well. Again, she loves what she does and realizes that color plays such an important part of the living space. It was tangible to her that a loving family is, and would be living here, and she's the type of person who understands how important it is to make one's work 'personal'. Of course, they have amazing and friendly relationships with all their sub-contractor's and I couldn't help but feel like an 'All-Star' team was perfectly hand-picked and assembled to transform our home. Every bit of the work being done was always 100%. There was never any need for me to worry about this. It's just an 'inner knowing' that it's not only going to get done, but it's going to be spectacular. So rather than worry, I just looked forward to completion because I knew it was going to exceed my expectations. Marin Kitchen Works, has a result, has a very, very special working relationship with our home and family. This will pay off dividends for the rest of our lives as we continue to stay in touch as we both do little (or major) updates to our home.

We are very happy with the work done by Marin Kitchen and Baths. They were very helpful in choosing the counters/cabinets and appliances for our new kitchen. They were professional in being on time and in cleaning up at the end of each day. Our new kitchen has gotten rave reviews from our friends and family.  We enjoyed working with them and plan to work with them on future projects.

Had a total cabinet remake (custom fit). The work was done and completed in a very timely fashion. Quality was exceptional and follow-up was even better. Colors were exactly matched with existing cabinets and trimming. They are very easy to work with as well.

We hired Marin Kitchen Works to reface and update our 30 year old Eichler kitchen.  Scott, Betty and the whole team was a pleasure to work with, from the design phase to the installation.  Their showroom is well stocked and Betty helped us narrow down the choices and stick to styles that would complement our Eichler interior and our budget.  I was able to take home as many samples as I wanted.  A photo-realistic visualization of our new kitchen was created, giving us a very clear idea of what the design would look like.  Once construction started, the crew arrived on time and cleaned up the at the end of every day.  They were all very pleasant and easy to work with.  Any problems that came up were addressed quickly.  The outside contractors who came in to do the tile, counter tops and lighting were also top-notch.  We love our new kitchen!

A family owned business that works creatively with the remodeling challenges of Marin's older home.  Good general contracting skills, excellent carpentry, electrical, plumbing.  Also dependable for follow-up:  Marin Kitchen Works stands behind its work.  This client has used them for over 20 years.

Over the last 20 years MKW has remodeled our kitchen (including installing a skylight), 2 bathrooms, a half bath, office, installed 2 new windows in our living room & replaced 2 windows in our family room, and built a new room for storage/small office.  MKW is easy to work with.  Their designs are creative and thoughtful and they will work within your budget.  I don't think we have any space left to remodel, but if we do we would absolutely use MKW.  They want you to be happy, and we certainly have been.

I work with many General Contractors and I consider Marin Kitchen Works one of the best. They are always detailed and provide us with the best layout of cabinets, appliances, tile layout, lighting and receptacle layout.
I highly recommend Marin Kitchen Works and always look forward to working with them.

I have been lucky enough to  be able to work with Marin Kitchen Works for the last 20 years.  Crystal Cabinet Works has been one of their primary cabinet suppliers during that time.  Marin Kitchen Works epitomizes a professional, family-owned, design/build kitchen and bath business. Because of the family-owned aspect, and the pride they take, the end result is a better finished job.  They have taken great care to provide fantastic service and beautiful remodels to their many happy customers over the years.  They are the only business where I have worked with 3 generations of kitchen and bath professionals in one family...the talent for creating fantastic kitchen and bath projects runs in their veins.  They have many happy customers that would be more than happy to show you their beautiful spaces that MKW designed and built for them.

We would highly recommend hiring Marin Kitchen Works to do your kitchen or bath. With Betty & Eric's design and color expertise, we have a beautifully laid out kitchen and two modern bathrooms.Their showroom showcases many quality products to choose from. Ask to see a portfolio of their work. Besides being a top notch electrician, Scott oversees that  the projects run smoothly and timely to completion. His staff who are highly skilled, energetic, and very neat, have many years of experience and do the job right.

We first used Marin Kitchen Works about 20 years ago for a kitchen remodel.  Since then they have remodeled both our bathrooms and added built-ins in two of our bedrooms and a family room as well as other projects at our home. The most recent project completed was a kitchen update with granite counters, new backsplash and new flooring.  They are on time, on budget and very professional. I would strongly recommend them.

Marin Kitchen Works remodeled our kitchen 4 1/2 years ago. We found them to be an excellent team of professionals, each outstanding at what he/she does. We were so pleased with their work that we used them a month ago to install new doors throughout our home. And, we were just as satisfied this time around. They were always punctual, hard working and a pleasure to have around. We made decisions about what we wanted with the wonderful guidance of professionals that we trusted completely. And, now, over four years later, we are just as thrilled with our kitchen as the day it was completed. It is beautiful, comfortable and a pleasure to work in.
They are a wonderful company and I recommend them highly!

We did an extensive remodel of our condo including kitchen, baths, new electrical work, some reconstruction work. Betty and her team coordinated the entire project. They did it on time and on budget and were incredibly professional and creative in their approach. They listened to and met our needs and guided us through the three month project.. We could not be more satisfied with the finished product.

From the initial design, to picking cabinets, to choosing counters and tile to final install, everyone we worked with at Marin kitchen works (Scott, Betty, Kelly and Clint) were friendly, professional and experts in their business.  We truly had a very positive experience!  They took our 1983 kitchen and made it beautiful and modern!

All the family at Marin Kitchen Works are a joy to work with.  We had them resurface our kitchen
cabinets, replace the outdated lighting with "can" lights and loved their suggestion to put "puck"
lights above the granite counter work space.   They also replaced the bathroom tile floors, and
master bath shower.   Scott is now completing a shoji screen sliding door from the master bathroom to
the bedroom.  We love Scott's knowledge, experience and attitude.

I was as satisfied as can be with my new kitchen. Betty helped me with my design and helped  me pick out tile and  my mural.  The workers were there early every day and cleaned up at the end of the day.  it took the amount of time they said it would.  it was a really easeful renovation, with Betty showing me a countertop and cabinets and  I loved it all.  I can't say enough good things about this company.
