FAQ: San Diego kitchen remodeling questions
How long does a kitchen remodel take in San Diego?
Most full kitchen remodels fall in a multi-week construction window, but total project time depends on design decisions, lead times, and permits. The best way to shorten the schedule is to finalize selections early.
Do I need a permit for my kitchen remodel?
If you are changing electrical, plumbing, walls, windows, or the footprint, permits are common. If you are doing a cosmetic refresh, permits may not be necessary. Confirm with your contractor and jurisdiction.
What is the best countertop for a busy San Diego household?
Quartz is often the easiest for low maintenance. Porcelain slabs can also be extremely durable. The “best” choice depends on how you cook, how much maintenance you are comfortable with, and the look you want.
Can I live in my home during a kitchen remodel?
Usually yes, but plan for disruption. Many homeowners set up a temporary “mini kitchen” (microwave, coffee, fridge) in another room and choose a contractor who keeps the jobsite clean and organized.
