Full remodel (highest impact)
- Layout changes and wall removals
- New cabinetry and improved storage
- Electrical upgrades (more circuits, better lighting)
- Plumbing changes (sink relocation, pot filler, water filtration)
- New flooring and sometimes windows/doors
Best for: kitchens that are cramped, dark, closed off, or simply not aligned with how your household uses the space.
San Diego tip: If you live in a coastal neighborhood, your “durability” priorities shift. Stainless hardware, quality cabinet finishes, and easy-to-clean flooring become more important because you will track in sand and moisture more often than you think.
