Kitchen Remodeling in Willow Glen
Period-home kitchens in Willow Glen, updated with care.
Willow Glen's 1920s to 1940s houses have plaster walls, old framing and details that are hard to replace once they are gone. A kitchen here should work like a modern one without looking as though it arrived from a different house.

Kitchen remodeling / Willow Glen
Old house, new kitchen.
We start by deciding what to keep: original windows, door casings or built-ins near the kitchen. Then the new cabinets and appliances are planned around them.
Plaster demolition is dusty and slower than drywall, so we protect the rest of the house and plan the sequence before work begins.
Older homes can also hide outdated wiring and galvanized pipes, which we look for early.
Architectural services by our in-house licensed architect; design, architectural drawings and permits included.
