Featured Renovation Projects in San Carlos
Below are several of the standout transformations we’ve done in San Carlos. Each one showcases a unique challenge, a custom solution, and the craftsmanship our clients expect from a top-tier Peninsula contractor.
Project #1 — Whole-Home Renovation in White Oaks

Before
This home had great bones but felt outdated. Closed-off rooms, aging finishes, and poor natural light held it back from its full potential.
After
Matrix Group One opened up the layout, added modern finishes, installed new flooring, and refreshed the kitchen and bathrooms. The result: a bright, open living space with a contemporary look and vastly improved functionality.
Project #2 — Modern Kitchen Remodel in Howard Park

Before
A cramped galley kitchen with dated cabinetry and no connection to the dining area.
After
We removed walls, introduced a center island, added modern cabinetry, premium counters, and new lighting. The homeowners now have a spacious, modern kitchen perfect for entertaining.
Project #3 — Bathroom Transformation Near Burton Park

Before
Old tile, limited storage, and outdated fixtures made this bathroom feel tired and dark.
After
A spa-like retreat with new stone tile, a walk-in shower, modern vanity, and upgraded lighting — completely transforming the experience of the space.
Project #4 — Exterior Remodel in Beverly Terrace

Before
Weathering, aging paint, and outdated trim diminished curb appeal.
After
We refreshed exterior siding, applied new paint, updated trim, added modern lighting, and installed a new front door. The home now stands out beautifully on the block.
Project #5 — ADU Addition for Multigenerational Living

Before
Clients needed more space for extended family but didn’t want to move.
After
Matrix Group One designed and built a fully functional ADU with its own kitchenette, bathroom, and living area — adding usability and long-term value.
