A mid-range remodel with new cabinets, countertops, and appliances typically runs $45,000 to $70,000. A full custom kitchen with layout changes, high-end finishes, and premium appliances often exceeds $80,000.

The best way to know what your kitchen will cost: get a free on-site estimate. We'll look at the space, talk through what you want, and give you a real number, no guessing.

Your kitchen is the most-used room in your home. It should look like it.

Most people put off a kitchen remodel because they don't know who to trust with the job. They've heard the horror stories: contractors who disappear, timelines that double, budgets that blow up.

That's not how we work.

At Silver Strand, every kitchen project is managed start to finish by our team. We handle the design coordination, the demo, the build, and the final details. You get weekly updates and honest timelines. When we say 8 weeks, we mean 8 weeks.

How long does a kitchen remodel take?

Most kitchen remodels take 6 to 12 weeks from demolition to final walkthrough. Timeline depends on the scope of work, material lead times, and whether structural or permit work is involved. We give you an honest timeline before we start and update you every week throughout the project.

Do I need a permit for a kitchen remodel in San Diego?

It depends on the scope. Cosmetic updates like new countertops, cabinets, and appliances typically don't require permits. If you're moving walls, changing plumbing locations, or doing electrical upgrades, permits are required in San Diego County. We handle all permit coordination as part of your project.

Can you change the layout of my kitchen?

Yes. We handle structural work including wall removal, island additions, and full layout reconfiguration. Our team coordinates all the trades, including framing, plumbing, and electrical, so the layout change is seamless.

What areas of San Diego do you serve for kitchen remodeling?

We serve Greater San Diego County including La Jolla, Del Mar, Carlsbad, Encinitas, Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach, Poway, Chula Vista, Coronado, and surrounding communities.

Do you do kitchen-only projects or only whole-home remodels?

We do both. If you want to remodel just your kitchen, that's a complete project for us and we'll give it our full attention. Many clients start with a kitchen and come back for the bathrooms. That's how the relationship usually works.

Thinking about the kitchen too?

A lot of our clients start with the bathroom and end up doing the kitchen, or vice versa. We're set up to handle both, and coordinating the two projects together often saves time and money.
