Your Local Kitchen Design and Build Experts
When you are ready to update your kitchen, you want a team that understands your neighborhood and is easy to reach. At Gilmans Kitchens and Baths, we provide expert kitchen remodeling services right here in Marin County. We know that for many homeowners in the North Bay, working with a contractor based in San Francisco or the South Bay can feel too far away. That is why our San Rafael showroom at 530 Francisco Blvd W is so important.
We serve as the local anchor for kitchen renovations in San Rafael and the surrounding areas. You don’t have to cross a bridge to find high-quality design and craftsmanship. We bring the showroom experience and project management expertise directly to you.

- Custom Layout Design: We help you rethink your space to improve flow and storage.
- Cabinetry: We offer a wide range of styles, from modern to traditional.
- Countertops and Fixtures: We guide you through selecting durable and beautiful materials.
- Project Management: We oversee the construction to ensure things stay on track.
Whether you have a historic home that needs a sensitive update or a mid-century modern house ready for an open concept, our team has the experience to help. Please note: Project timelines and results may vary depending on the scope of work and material availability.
Why San Rafael Homeowners Choose Us
We believe renovation should be exciting, not stressful. Local homeowners choose us because we are fully licensed and insured in California, providing peace of mind from start to finish.
Unlike companies that just sell cabinets or only do construction, we are a full-service design-build firm. This means our designers work side-by-side with the build team. This collaboration helps prevent miscommunication and keeps your project moving. We don’t claim to be the “cheapest” because we focus on quality and lasting value. Our goal is to give you a kitchen you will love for years to come.
How Our Process Works
We have developed a clear process to take you from your first idea to a finished kitchen.
- Initial Consultation: We discuss your goals, budget, and style preferences.
- Design and Planning: Our designers create detailed plans. This is a great time to look at inspiration from the National Kitchen & Bath Association for the latest trends.
- Material Selection: You visit our San Rafael showroom to pick out your cabinets, counters, and tile.
- Construction: Once the design is finalized and materials are ready, we begin the build.
- Completion: We walk through the finished space with you to ensure every detail is right.
Note: No guarantees of completion time can be made unless specified in a signed agreement.
Serving San Rafael and Marin County
Our San Rafael office allows us to efficiently serve the entire North Bay. We understand the local architecture and the lifestyle here. We frequently work in neighborhoods throughout San Rafael, as well as nearby communities like Novato, Mill Valley, Larkspur, Corte Madera, Tiburon, Fairfax, Sausalito, and Belvedere.
We are familiar with local building requirements. For specific questions about local regulations, you can always check resources like the City of San Rafael Building Division.
Life in San Rafael
We love being part of this community. We know that during a remodel, your daily routine changes, and it helps to get out of the house. Many of our clients enjoy spending time outdoors while we work on their homes.
You might take a break to enjoy the history and trails at China Camp State Park, or perhaps take a quiet walk through Gerstle Park to admire the classic homes in the neighborhood.
If you are located closer to the Civic Center, a stroll around Lagoon Park is a great way to clear your head. For those who want sweeping views of the bay for inspiration, a hike at Ring Mountain Preserve offers a fresh perspective. We are proud to help improve homes in such a beautiful part of California.
What Our Clients Say
We work hard to earn the trust of our clients. Homeowners in San Rafael appreciate having a physical office nearby where they can see materials in person and speak to their project manager face-to-face. While individual experiences vary, our commitment to professional service remains constant across all our locations.
