Kitchen Remodeling in Oakland
Kitchens in Oakland's older houses, run from our Walnut Creek office.
Oakland has a large stock of early twentieth-century homes in neighborhoods such as Rockridge, Temescal and Glenview, along with hillside houses in Montclair. We design kitchens that respect those homes, handle the City permit and build them.

Kitchen remodeling / Oakland
Updating a kitchen in an older Oakland home.
Kitchens in Oakland Craftsman and older houses were often small service rooms. Opening them toward a dining room requires care with original framing and, sometimes, knob-and-tube wiring that needs replacement.
Hillside homes in the Oakland hills bring different questions, such as sloped access and, in some areas, fire-safety requirements for any exterior changes.
Architectural services by our in-house licensed architect; design, architectural drawings and permits included.
