What we do

Full-service kitchen remodeling, start to finish

A kitchen remodel is one of the most complex projects in any home — it touches plumbing, electrical, structural, cabinetry, and finish work all at once. Most problems homeowners encounter come from contractors who specialize in only part of that equation, leaving coordination gaps and costly surprises.

Wolf Renovations handles the entire scope in-house. From the initial site assessment and 3D design through permit filing, demolition, construction, and final installation, one team owns the project from first call to final walkthrough. You have one point of contact, one schedule, and one accountable partner throughout.

We work across all project sizes — from focused refreshes updating countertops, backsplash, and cabinet fronts, to full gut-and-rebuild projects that open walls and redesign the layout entirely.

Project scope

What does your remodel look like?

Kitchen remodels vary enormously in scope. Here’s how we think about the three main tiers and what each one typically includes.

Focused refresh
Cosmetic updates that dramatically improve the look without moving walls or plumbing

Best for kitchens with a good layout that just need modernizing. No structural changes required.

  • Cabinet refacing or door replacement
  • New countertops (quartz or stone)
  • Backsplash installation
  • Appliance upgrades
  • Lighting fixtures & hardware
  • Flooring replacement

Common questions

Kitchen remodeling FAQ

How much does a kitchen remodel cost in the Bay Area? +
Bay Area kitchen remodels typically range from $25,000 for a focused cosmetic refresh to $200,000+ for a luxury gut-and-rebuild. Most Wolf projects fall in the $55,000–$110,000 range — a full remodel within the existing footprint with quality materials and finishes. Bay Area costs run 40–60% above the national average, primarily driven by local labor rates and permit costs.
How long does a kitchen remodel take? +
A typical full kitchen remodel takes 8–14 weeks from permit approval to final walkthrough. The breakdown: design and permitting (3–5 weeks), material lead times for cabinets (6–10 weeks, running concurrently), demolition and rough work (1–2 weeks), cabinet installation and finish work (2–3 weeks), countertops and final details (1–2 weeks). We provide a detailed project schedule before construction begins.
Do I need a permit for a kitchen remodel in Contra Costa County? +
Yes, in most cases. Any work involving structural changes, plumbing relocations, new electrical circuits, or changes to the HVAC system requires a permit from Contra Costa County. Cosmetic updates — like replacing cabinet fronts, countertops, or fixtures without moving anything — typically don’t require permits. Wolf handles all permit applications and inspections as part of our project process.
Can I use my kitchen during the remodel? +
During active construction, the kitchen is not usable. Most homeowners set up a temporary kitchen in another room — a microwave, electric kettle, and mini fridge cover the basics. We seal off the work area to contain dust, and we’re mindful of keeping the rest of the home accessible throughout the project. We’ll walk through logistics at your assessment.
What’s included in the free assessment? +
Our free assessment is a no-pressure in-home visit where we look at your existing kitchen, talk through your goals and budget, and give you an honest rough-cost range for the project. There’s no obligation and no sales pitch — just information so you can make a good decision. We typically follow up with a rough range estimate within 48 hours.
How much do I need to pay upfront? +
California law limits contractor deposits to 10% of the total contract price or $1,000 — whichever is less. Wolf follows this requirement. Our payment schedule is tied to project milestones (permit approval, demolition complete, cabinets installed, etc.) — never front-loaded. Any contractor asking for a large upfront payment should be a red flag.
