"Oscar and his crew did an amazing job on our small drywall installation, which included baseboard installation and painting in our garage. Oscar was fast, responsive, reliable and great to work with. Will be recommending Oscar and looking to work together again in the future for sure."

"Leo was very helpful and quick to respond. We’re happy with how our 2 bathrooms turned out. Project was completed within the time promised. Our only complaint is that the workers did not clean up very well. But overall, we’re satisfied and we’ll use them again. "

"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"

My house looks incredible and I’ve gotten so many compliments from friends and family."

"Sabrina came to my house to organize my garage after we had just moved from our old house to our new house. She arrived promptly and got to work and she quickly brought order to the chaos. She worked non-stop for hours to get our garage in order. I was so impressed with her work that I asked her to help me get a final cleaning done at our old house. Again, she showed up promptly that day and got to work. The kitchen turned out to be in worse shape that I led her to believe but that didn't stop her from powering through it. I am grateful to Sabrina for her work ethic and professionalism and will definitely be retaining her services when I have future need."

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.
