Your Dream Kitchen, Built to Last

It depends on the scope. A cosmetic refresh can take 1-2 weeks, a standard remodel runs 4-6 weeks, and a full custom remodel takes 6-12 weeks. The biggest timeline factor is usually cabinet lead time — custom cabinets can take 10-14 weeks to manufacture. We provide a detailed timeline during your consultation and keep you updated throughout.

During demolition and the first phase of construction, your kitchen will be unusable. We help you set up a temporary kitchen in another room — typically with a microwave, hot plate, and mini fridge — so you can prepare basic meals. Most families also plan to eat out more during construction. We work efficiently to minimize the downtime.

Cabinetry is typically the largest expense, often accounting for 30-40% of the total budget. Countertops and appliances are the next biggest costs. Labor for installation, plumbing, and electrical work is also significant. We help you balance your budget across all categories so you get the kitchen you want without overspending in one area.

Both are excellent choices. Granite is a natural stone with unique patterns and excellent heat resistance, but it needs periodic sealing. Quartz is engineered stone that's non-porous, low maintenance, and available in consistent patterns — it doesn't need sealing. For busy Bay Area families, we often recommend quartz for its durability and easy maintenance. We bring samples so you can compare in your space.
