Family owned and operated for over 40 years, Marin Kitchen Works is a multi-award-winning design-build firm serving Sonoma and Marin County, California. Founded by a passionate designer and her skilled father, Betty and Hubbard Sundborg built the legacy of Marin Kitchen Works on the foundation of quality design and craftsmanship.
After years of working under Betty’s wing in the design department, a third generation of Sundborgs, brother and sister Eric and Emily, now craft timeless designs for new and recurring clients. Their father Scott runs each project with his close-knit team and skilled subcontractors.
From concept to completion, Marin Kitchen Works brings expertise to every detail, ensuring the client’s space is transformed in a way that is functional, attractive, and timeless. Their use of detailed 3D renderings, showroom displays, and expansive sample inventory helps clients to envision their future space, ensuring clarity and precision throughout the design process.
Beyond kitchens and bathrooms, they excel in flooring installation and refinishing, adding the perfect finishing touch to any home’s transformation. With a rich history of exceeding expectations, Marin Kitchen Works plans to continue redefining the standard of excellence in remodeling for years to come.
Initial Consultation
- Reach out via phone, email, or our website to schedule a consultation. We’ll gather basic information about your project and availability.
- One of our experienced designers will then visit your home to discuss your goals, assess the space, and review your style, budget, and timeline. If we’re a good fit, a $1,000 consultation fee is required to receive a written estimate and design renderings (floor plans remain the property of Marin Kitchen Works).
Design & Planning Phase
- We invite you to our showroom where we present the proposed designs via virtual renderings and floor plans. This presentation helps you visualize the transformation and provides an opportunity for feedback and revisions. If you are interested in moving forward, a design retainer is required. This retainer is applied to the purchase of the project and is not an additional charge.
- Guided by our design experts, you will select materials such as cabinetry, countertops, fixtures, tiles, and flooring. In addition to the various options displayed in our showroom, we have a network of trusted suppliers and showrooms in the Bay Area to help you choose high-quality materials that match your aesthetic and budget.
- Once all selections are made and any adjustments are incorporated, we finalize the design plans. This stage includes detailed drawings and specifications that will guide the construction phase.
Proposal & Agreement
- We provide a detailed proposal outlining the scope of work, materials, labor, and costs. Upon agreement, a contract is signed to initiate the project.
- Our team handles the necessary permits and approvals required by local municipalities in Marin and Sonoma County. This ensures your project complies with all building codes and regulations.
Construction & Installation Phase
- Before construction begins, you’ll meet with your project manager to review the schedule and expectations.
- We prepare the site by protecting existing finishes and belongings. Demolition of the existing room is done carefully to minimize disruption and dust.
- Our skilled craftsmen and subcontractors carry out the construction work. This includes framing, electrical and plumbing work, drywall installation, and any structural changes needed.
- Throughout the construction phase, you will receive regular updates from your project manager. We keep you informed about progress, upcoming milestones and any unforeseen issues.
- We perform continuous quality checks at each stage of the construction process to ensure the highest standards of workmanship.
Project Completion
- Once the work is finished, we do a final walkthrough with you to ensure everything meets your expectations. You’ll receive a project completion package with care instructions, warranty info, and appliance manuals.
- After the dust is cleared, we’re still here for you—ready to address any questions or concerns that may arise after move-in.
