When a 52-year-old homeowner in the Oakland Hills set out to remodel her kitchen, she knew exactly what she wanted: a space that made cooking for her big family easier, not harder. But after a disappointing experience with a past contractor—one who rushed the design and left her with a kitchen that looked “done” but didn’t work—she wasn’t going to make the same mistake twice.
She needed a contractor she could trust—someone who cared as much about planning the space as building it. That’s where we came in.
Before we ever touched a tool, we spent weeks in planning mode. She documented her daily kitchen routines. We studied how she used the space, walked through her must-haves and frustrations, and introduced her to layout ideas and design features she’d never been offered before.
We didn’t rush it. We collaborated until everything felt just right. And once the plan was locked in, we brought it to life—down to every functional inch.
The result? A kitchen that not only looked stunning on day one, but still feels modern and works perfectly, nearly a decade later. It’s the kind of space where family meals are easier, messes are manageable, and every drawer, cabinet, and counter earns its keep.
She finally got what she deserved: a kitchen designed around her life—and built to last.
