House-type review
We confirm whether the Palo Alto house is post-and-beam or conventionally framed.
R&B Master Construction Inc. / Palo Alto
Eichler and older-home kitchens in Palo Alto, from our Cupertino office.
An Eichler kitchen sits in the middle of an open, post-and-beam house, with a flat roof above and a slab below. That changes how wiring, venting and plumbing can be run, and it is where a Palo Alto kitchen plan has to start.
Kitchen remodeling / Palo Alto
There is rarely an attic to hide a new circuit or a range-hood duct in an Eichler. We plan routes through the roof, the slab or the cabinets themselves, and show them on the drawings.
Palo Alto's older craftsman and revival houses are a different job altogether, with conventional framing and their own surprises.
Architectural services by our in-house licensed architect; design, architectural drawings and permits included.

Before you begin
Every home is different. Let’s talk through the details of yours.
There is little or no attic, so ducts and wiring have to be planned through the roof, slab or cabinetry.
They mostly concern exterior changes. An interior-only kitchen remodel is usually reviewed on building grounds alone.
