San Francisco Bay Area
Kitchen Additions
Expand a Bay Area kitchen with new floor area for cooking, dining or storage and a coordinated connection to the existing home.
What the extra floor area buys
Use the added space for a specific everyday need, such as enough room to pass an open dishwasher or seat the family at one table. Compare layouts with the existing exterior wall marked so you can see which changes depend on extending the house.
Connecting indoors and out
Look at how the addition affects the patio, garden access and light in the adjacent rooms. Ask for the proposal to identify where existing flooring, cabinets and counters end and new finishes begin.
Can I keep part of my current kitchen?
List the appliances, cabinetry or surfaces you would like to keep, with their dimensions. Their condition and the layout of the new work will help determine which can be reused and where matching is practical.
