"Sahar at Black Diamond was a real find for us! In a little over 3 weeks, she and her crew transformed our drab, worn out and outdated patio into a gorgeous space reminiscent of a Tuscan villa. The carefully selected pavers and retaining walls have given a new beauty to our outdoor living area. The real charm of the area is seen at night with addition of the carefully designed lighting, giving it a bit of a calm Zen feeling. Sahar brings an infectious, confident energy and exceptional design aesthetic to her work. We loved her ideas and recommendations and the ease of working with her throughout the project. She is very hands-on with the subcontractors and effectively managed all aspects of the work—including necessary design changes that arose as the project progressed. She was effective in managing costs so that the project stayed within budget. Based on our experience, we look forward to working with Sahar again and highly recommend for landscape design and implementation."

American Kitchen and Bath, Inc. is a reputable full-service General Contracting business based out of San Jose, CA. We specialize in kitchen and bathroom remodeling. We not only design your kitchen and bathroom, we handle the entire project while offering innovative ideas and creative design solutions. Contractor's License #886059
"American Kitchen and Bath, Inc. completed my contracted improvements on time and within budget. And that’s what would be expected. Yes, I would recommend them. AKB went beyond the normal expectations. My project required a whole house renovation. It included replacing the electrical, plumbing, windows, flooring and interior and exterior paint along with a completely new kitchen and bathroom. I found AKB by reviewing the City of San Jose permit website and saw they had pulled more permits than other local firms listed in National Association of Remodeling Industry (NARI). I completed an online contact request, and Shawn responded within the hour. We made an appointment to discuss what I wanted and was assured they could do the work within the budget. The process of developing the scope of work was very detailed. There were a few subcontractors necessary for my project, and I was introduced to each contractor at this early stage. I could tell from these meetings that the contractors had a very good relationship with AKB. It also involved working very closely with their designer, Buffy. I had no vision as to what I wanted, but Buffy was able to tease out what I did not like. In no time, she knew exactly what would appeal to my taste. Both Shawn and Buffy remained part of my project all the way through to the finish. When the project started, the demolition, installing a beam, rough plumbing and electrical all moved along very quickly. We were scheduled for the first city inspection when the pandemic shelter-in-place order was given. I was reassured by Johans, the owner, that the minute the business was released from the shutdown, my project would proceed. After the shutdown and passing that first inspection, the work progressed at an amazing rate. The site supervisor, Ron, would save up all of his questions for our Friday meetings as well as email or texting which would allow me to make necessary decisions quickly. They made sure that every decision I made was followed. There was a great deal of plaster and drywall patching, interior and exterior trim work, refinishing of doors, and many other finishing touches that needed to be done. Ron made sure each detail was completed with care and craftsmanship. The quality of the work was exceptional. All AKB employees and subcontractors were very responsive and respectful of my house as well as my time. At the first meeting with Buffy at my house, she called my house a “gem.” The finished project is better than I could imagine. I was promised a new beautiful home and now have my dream home, my gem."

The time it takes to build a pizza oven depends on the type and complexity of the project. If you're going with a prefab pizza oven kit, you could be cooking your first pizza in just a day or two. Custom-designed ovens take longer—anywhere from several days to a few weeks—since they involve more detailed planning, material selection, and construction. While it requires patience, the result is a durable and personalized oven that you can enjoy for years to come.
Regular maintenance and cleaning of your pizza oven preserves its performance and durability. After each use, allow the oven to cool completely before removing accumulated ash with a stiff brush and damp cloth. For periodic deep cleaning, scrub the entire cooking surface with a heavy-duty wire brush and wipe the interior thoroughly with a damp cloth until no residue remains. Meticulously inspect and clean the flue to remove any obstructions. Avoid harsh chemicals to protect the oven’s integrity and enhance flavor retention.
An outdoor pizza oven reaches temperatures of up to 800 degrees, allowing you to create authentic, restaurant-quality Neapolitan pizzas with crispy crusts. Beyond pizzas, they're incredibly versatile—you can bake bread, roast meats, or even grill veggies, all while infusing your food with the unique, smoky flavor that only wood-fired cooking provides. Plus, a pizza oven becomes a natural gathering spot, making your backyard the go-to place for family and friends all year round.
Using fire bricks for your pizza oven is essential for exceptional heat tolerance and construction safety. Fire bricks are engineered to sustain extreme temperatures and preserve structural integrity during operation. Their superior heat resistance prevents cracking and potential hazards, ensuring a resilient build. Employing fire bricks results in an oven that consistently delivers high-quality, evenly cooked pizzas while maintaining durability and safety.
An ideal pizza oven height positions the opening between 36 and 48 inches above ground level. This provides you with clear visibility and comfortable access. This precise height enhances safety by reducing the need for bending over to check on your pizzas, while also supporting efficient heat distribution and ergonomic cooking practices, ultimately optimizing overall performance.
