Kitchen remodeling in the Bay Area.

It depends on the size of the kitchen, whether the layout changes, the cabinets and countertops you choose and what we find behind the walls once demolition starts. We give you a written, itemized estimate after a free visit, so you see the real number for your kitchen before you commit. See what affects the price.

Most kitchen remodels take about 10 to 24 weeks from design to the final walkthrough. Design and selections take 2 to 4 weeks, and permits 2 to 8 weeks or more depending on your city. Demolition and rough-in take 2 to 4 weeks, then cabinets, countertops and finishes 4 to 8 weeks. We put your schedule in the written estimate before any work starts. See every step.

Most kitchen remodels that move plumbing, change electrical circuits or open a wall need a permit. We draw up the plans and pull the permits with your city or county, so the new kitchen passes inspection and you never have to visit the permit office.

Yes, in most cases, you can stay in your home during a kitchen remodel. At Partners, we take steps to minimize disruption by using dust barriers, protecting surrounding areas and keeping the workspace clean. We also help you plan a temporary kitchen setup so your family can maintain its daily routine. We keep you informed throughout the project and let you know in advance if any part of the work requires additional precautions. Read our guide on remodeling your kitchen without moving out.

Usually yes for a refresh that keeps the layout. Our kitchen refresh projects typically run $25K to $45K and include refacing or painting the cabinets, new countertops, a new backsplash and new hardware. New cabinets, new appliances or a layout change usually push the budget into the $45K to $80K range or higher. See what each level includes.

Refacing makes sense when the cabinet boxes are solid and you like your current layout. Replacing is the better choice when the boxes are damaged or you want to move the sink, the range or the island. We tell you which one fits your kitchen at the free visit. Compare both options.

Quartz is engineered stone: it is non-porous and does not need sealing. Granite is natural stone: every slab is unique, it handles heat well and it needs to be sealed from time to time. Both hold up in a busy kitchen, so the choice usually comes down to the look you want and how much upkeep you accept.

Maurelio, the owner, is on site at every stage, and your cabinets, counters and tile are installed by the crew he has led for years. Your kitchen is never handed to a stranger.

Usually not for a full kitchen renovation in the Bay Area. $10,000 typically covers one upgrade, such as new countertops or new lighting, rather than a remodel. Our kitchen refresh projects start around $25K. At the free visit we tell you what fits your budget and what to do first.

In a small kitchen remodel we take the cabinets to the ceiling for more storage. Light colors, a simple backsplash and under-cabinet lighting make the room feel bigger. We also plan pull-out storage in the corners and, where the structure allows, open the kitchen to the next room. Read more small kitchen remodel ideas.

Most kitchens follow one of six layouts: one-wall, galley, L-shaped, U-shaped, an L or U with an island, and a peninsula. One-wall and galley plans suit narrow rooms, L- and U-shaped plans give the most counter space, and an island works when there is room for a comfortable walkway around it, about 42 inches by common design guidelines. Keeping the sink and range close to where they are now usually saves on plumbing and gas work.
