FAQ

Common Questions About Kitchen Remodeling

How long does a kitchen remodel take in the Bay Area?

A typical full kitchen remodel runs 8–14 weeks of active construction, plus 4–8 weeks of design and permitting upfront. Cities like San Francisco, Palo Alto, and Cupertino can add additional permit time depending on the scope.

How much does a kitchen remodel cost on the Peninsula?

Mid-range Peninsula kitchens generally start around $75,000 and high-end gut renovations with custom cabinetry, premium stone, and structural work commonly run $150,000–$300,000+. Every project starts with a no-cost on-site consultation and a fixed-scope written proposal.

Do you handle the permits?

Yes. We pull all required building, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical permits and coordinate every City inspection from start to final.

Can we live in the home during the remodel?

Most clients do. We set up dust containment, a temporary kitchen area, and a clear daily site protocol so your home stays livable throughout construction.

Are you a design-build kitchen contractor?

Yes — we provide design, permitting, structural engineering, and construction under one fixed-scope contract. You don't have to coordinate separate architects, engineers, and trades.

Do you remove load-bearing walls in kitchens?

Frequently. Opening kitchens to adjacent living space is one of the most common high-impact moves. We engage a structural engineer, install the appropriate beam, and pull the structural permits as part of the kitchen scope.

What kitchen cabinet brands do you install?

We work across custom local cabinet shops, semi-custom lines like Wood-Mode and Crystal, and stock lines like Kitchen Craft. We help homeowners choose the right tier for the design and budget.

Do you offer financing for kitchen remodels?

We don't directly finance projects. Many clients use HELOCs, home-equity products, or cash-out refinancing — we're happy to share the names of lenders Bay Area homeowners have used successfully.
