Before the cabinets and countertops

A kitchen remodel starts
with how your family uses the room.

Where does everyone gather while dinner is cooking? Is there enough counter space next to the stove? Do you need the dining table, or would an island serve you better? We answer those questions first, then choose layouts, materials and finishes that fit your home and your budget. That is how we approach kitchen remodeling in Palo Alto.

THE LAYOUT

Plan the work zones.

Place the sink, cooktop, refrigerator and storage where they make daily cooking easier.

THE MATERIALS

Choose what lasts.

Compare countertop, cabinet and flooring options for durability, upkeep and look.

THE PAPERWORK

Permits handled.

We secure the permits your scope requires and schedule the City inspections.

What we take care of

What your kitchen
remodel can include.

Choose one upgrade or combine them into a complete remodel. We plan the order of work so each trade follows the last without delays, planned for kitchen remodeling in Palo Alto.

Design

Tailored kitchen design

Our in-house designers plan the layout, cabinets and appliance locations around your space. You review the plans, including 3D models, before construction begins.

Surfaces

Countertops and premium materials

Choose from a wide selection of countertop materials, then let our team handle templating and professional installation.

Storage

New or refinished cabinets

Replace cabinets to change the layout, or refinish the ones you have for a new look without a full renovation.

Floors

Kitchen flooring installation

Install flooring that handles spills and daily traffic, and blends with the rooms that open onto your kitchen.

Water

Plumbing and fixtures

Relocate or update the sink, faucet and dishwasher connections when your new layout calls for it.

Function

Appliances and layout changes

Plan space for modern appliances, open a wall where it makes sense and create an efficient path between the work areas.

Questions from Palo Alto homeowners

Kitchen Remodeling questions,
answered.

Don’t see your question? Call (669) 588-3929 and talk to our team.

Planning and timing

How long does a kitchen remodel take?

It depends on the scope. A complete kitchen remodel usually takes 4 to 8 weeks of construction. Design and permitting happen before that, and we give you a detailed timeline during planning.

Can we stay in our home during the remodel?

Many families do. We talk through which rooms stay usable, where a temporary kitchen setup could go and how we protect the rest of the house before work starts.

Design and materials

Do you offer design services?

Yes. Our in-house designers create a plan that fits your style, preferences and budget, and we use 3D modeling so you can see the result before construction begins.

Can I keep my cabinets and change the rest?

Yes. If your cabinet boxes are in good shape, refinishing them is an option, and you can pair it with new countertops, flooring or fixtures.
