What East Bay homeowners say

★★★★★

"I was already looking to get my kitchen renovated when I walked into their showroom. Once I walked in I knew they were the real deal. The showroom was stunning and it brought real relief being able to see what I wanted in person before purchasing. I renovated my whole kitchen and did my first floor flooring and the process was seamless. Eric and his team were informative throughout, kept me updated, and the timelines were kept. My wife's family came over for New Years and were impressed. 10/10 overall experience."

Common questions

Kitchen remodeling FAQs Bay Area and East Bay

A typical full kitchen remodel takes 8 to 14 weeks from permit approval to final walkthrough. The breakdown is roughly 3 to 5 weeks for design and permitting, cabinet lead times of 6 to 10 weeks running concurrently, 1 to 2 weeks for demolition and rough work, 2 to 3 weeks for cabinet installation and finish work, and 1 to 2 weeks for countertops and final details. We provide a detailed project schedule before construction begins so you know exactly what to expect.
Yes in most cases. Any work involving structural changes, plumbing relocations, new electrical circuits, or changes to the HVAC system requires a permit from your local building department. Purely cosmetic updates such as replacing cabinet fronts, countertops, or fixtures without moving anything typically do not require permits. Wolf handles all permit applications and inspections as part of our standard project process.
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 keep the rest of the home accessible throughout the project.
We visit your home to review the existing kitchen layout, discuss your goals, design preferences, and functionality needs. Wolf then provides a rough project cost range and remodeling recommendations based on the home's structure and scope of work. There is no obligation and no sales pitch. You will have a written estimate within 48 hours of the visit.
Yes. ADU kitchen builds and remodels are part of our scope. We manage permits, trades, and scheduling the same way as any full kitchen project, with one project manager overseeing everything from start to finish.
California law limits contractor deposits to 10 percent of the total contract price or $1,000 whichever is less. Wolf follows this requirement. Our payment schedule is tied to project milestones and never front loaded. Any contractor asking for a large upfront payment should be treated as a red flag.
