What sets a great kitchen apart.

A kitchen remodel isn't really about the cabinets. It's about how every cabinet, drawer, light, and surface gets used 50 times a day for the next 20 years. The cabinets that look identical in a showroom can feel completely different in your home — depending on how they're hung, what's behind the doors, how they meet the floor and counter, and whether the drawer slides will still glide in year 12.

That's where craftsmanship lives — in the boring details that nobody photographs. We've been building kitchens in Marin homes for two generations. We know which finishes hold up to the climate, which appliance lines we'd actually buy ourselves, and which design choices look great today but date badly in 10 years.

Kitchen remodel FAQ.

How long does a kitchen remodel typically take? +
A cosmetic refresh: 4-6 weeks. A full layout-changing remodel with custom cabinetry: 10-16 weeks once construction starts. We give you a realistic timeline up front based on the actual scope, not an industry average.
What's a typical kitchen remodel cost in Marin? +
Mid-range remodels in Marin run $80K-$150K. High-end with custom cabinetry, premium appliances, structural changes: $150K-$400K+. We provide detailed line-item bids so you know exactly where your money is going before you sign anything.
Do you handle design, or do I need a designer? +
Both work. We have design partners we collaborate with regularly, or we'll work directly with your designer or architect. For smaller projects, our team can lead the design ourselves.
Can you keep my kitchen functional during the remodel? +
For most full remodels, no — the kitchen will be unusable for several weeks. We help you set up a temp kitchen elsewhere in the house. For phased remodels, partial functionality is sometimes possible. We'll discuss options on the first walk-through.
Do you do permits? +
Yes. We pull all required permits and handle inspections. Marin County and city-specific (San Rafael, Novato, Mill Valley, etc.) — we know the local building departments and what they want to see.
