Kitchen remodelsin San Francisco.

Full-scope kitchen remodels: new layouts, cabinetry, plumbing, electrical and ventilation, handled as one coordinated project. We take on kitchens where walls, utilities or structure are changing, not cabinet-door swaps.

We take projects that need a contractor: remodels, commercial build-outs, new construction and major repairs.

Thanks, we received your request and will be in touch.

The Approach

How we run it.

What sets the plan, the estimate and the schedule for this kind of project.

Utilities first, finishes second

We settle plumbing, gas, electrical and venting before cabinets are ordered, so the layout is built on what the house can support.

Lead times planned

Cabinetry and appliances often have long lead times. We map them against permits and demolition so the kitchen is not sitting open waiting on a delivery.

One scope, in writing

Line items and assumptions are stated in the estimate, so you can see what is included before work starts.

The Scope

What a full kitchen remodel involves.

The visible parts of a kitchen, cabinets, counters and tile, sit on top of the parts that decide the schedule: where the plumbing and gas run, what the electrical panel can carry, where the range hood vents and whether a wall can come out. Those are settled first, then finishes follow.

We price the whole scope in writing, coordinate with your designer on selections and lead times, and run the project through permits, inspections and closeout.

Demolition and dust protection for adjacent rooms
Wall removal or openings, with structural support when needed
New circuits, lighting and code-required outlets
Plumbing and gas relocation, hood venting to the exterior
Cabinetry, countertops and backsplash
Flooring, paint and trim
Appliance coordination and installation
Inspections and closeout

In San Francisco

Kitchen permits in San Francisco.

Relocating plumbing, gas or electrical, adding or moving a range hood, or removing a wall generally needs a permit. Replacing cabinets and counters in place often does not. The rules depend on the scope, so we confirm the permit path when we walk the project.

Kitchens in older flats and Victorians are often tied to shared walls, original plumbing stacks and, in multi-unit buildings, to other residents. We plan water and power shut-offs, noise and work hours around the building, not just your unit.

Common Questions

Kitchen Remodels FAQ.

Anything else, ask in the form at the top of the page.

Do you take kitchen-only remodels?

Yes, when the scope is a full kitchen remodel with layout, utility or structural changes.

Can I stay in my home during the remodel?

Often yes, because most of the work is contained to the kitchen. Expect limited kitchen use, dust and noise. We plan protection and utility shut-offs with you before demolition.

Do I need a designer first?

It helps. A designer or architect prepares the layout and selections that the permit and the estimate are built on. If you do not have one, tell us what you are planning and we can talk through what the project needs.

When do kitchen plans need a permit?

Moving plumbing, gas or electrical, relocating a hood, or changing walls generally does. We confirm the permit path for your scope at the site visit.
