"We drywalled out the interior of our garage, including the ceiling. Oscar quoted it at a fair price and even was able to paint and insulate as additional services. The job was done extremely well, despite some tricky corners and working around garage, plumbing, etc… Done in three days, cleaned up after they were gone and were extremely communicative through the whole process. Excellent work."

"Eric and his team did a great job on our kitchen renovation. They were quick and very professional. As with any big job, there are always some unexpected errors. They handled them quickly, professionally and to my satisfaction the first time. I will be using EA Home Builders again for our bathroom renovation later this year."

"Shota worked with me to bring my vision to a very thoughtful design. I wanted a complete kitchen remodel and a new master bathroom, but wasn't quite sure of the specifics. He worked very closely with me to design a very thoughtful and functional layout that respected the architecture of my old craftsman home. I could tell right away he had a great design eye, and really guided me towards layout and finishes that complement my home and my personality. He was pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend gin"

FAQs for kitchen design service projects in Oakland, CA

A professional kitchen designer is a specialist in planning and implementing the remodel of kitchen spaces. They'll help you pick materials and styles, give you a quote, render a model, and send the order to manufacturers and installers. You can think of them as creative project managers who will facilitate your kitchen project from start to finish.

No, a kitchen designer can't plan for structural remodeling since kitchen designers aren’t structural experts. Consult a pro for structural engineer fees and inquire about changes like removing a wall. Additionally, for changes to your kitchen's electrical, plumbing, or gas lines, you'll need to hire the appropriate professionals, like a licensed electrician or plumber near you.

A kitchen designer’s process includes the following:

  • Finding inspiration: They may ask for photos, feedback on material samples, and preferred fittings to understand your vision.

  • Using design tools: These include computer modeling software, 3D and high-resolution cameras for recording your space, color wheels, and sketches.

  • Considering appliances and fixtures: It’s important that each item is installed correctly, balances aesthetics and functionality, and is conveniently positioned in a kitchen work triangle.

  • Looking at the whole home: A designer will consider your home's age and style.

  • Writing up plans: After taking measurements, they create a plan based on your specifications.

It takes anywhere from 10 to 20 hours for a professional kitchen designer to come up with a fully fleshed-out plan for a mid-size kitchen. However, that time can increase if you ask for a complex, custom-designed plan. Ask your designer for a quote on both pricing and overall time frame before you start working together to ensure you're on the same page with expectations.

If you're doing an extensive kitchen renovation, hire a kitchen designer to manage the project and ensure things go smoothly for you. A major renovation may include new flooring, countertops, cabinets, lighting, and structural changes like knocking out a wall or upgrading the electrical, plumbing, or gas lines. If you're doing something more minor, like only replacing a sink or painting your cabinets, you can either pay for installation or DIY.
