Bakersfield - Our History

How it all began...

For over 20 years, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen has been enhancing lives and improving homes in Kern County. Before owning DreamMaker bath & Kitchen, DMBK founders, Patty and Everett Gray worked as entrepreneurs in the remodeling industry. Upon learning about DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen’s mission, vision and personally aligned code of values, the couple launched the franchise in 2003. The team’s expertise and dedication to quality craftsmanship and honest business practices has made the company a well-recognized name in the remodeling industry.  

In 2020 DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen was recognized by the Better Business Bureau (BBB) with the honorable BBB Torch Ethics Award for Marketplace Excellence. The award is evaluated and voted on by a panel of independent judges from the business and academic communities. The BBB says, “it’s more than just recognition for those that deserve it. It is a way to raise the bar of ethics and trust-building in the marketplace.”

Additionally, the team has been recognized as the Best Home Improvement Contractor by the Best of Bakersfield Readers’ Choice Poll for 6 years and Favorite for 4 years.  They have also been recognized for the Big50 national award by Remodeling Magazine for exemplary business practices (given to only 50 contractors a year across the nation).

The DreamMaker team has a combined 140 plus years of experience. Everett Gray started his career in 1973 with the Carpenter’s Local Union in Norfolk, Virginia, and earned his Journeyman Carpentry Certificate in 1977. He earned his California State Contractor’s License in 1983 and later incorporated their business in 1987, holding his present  license # 548785. Everett is well versed in all aspects of residential construction from foundations to roofing as a result of both his formal training and field experience.
