"Updating our home was a dream we have had for years. But finding a good contractor in Bay Area was so difficult, that we almost gave up. We were introduced to United C Construction by our architect(who we also love!) It was exhausting trying to find someone trustworthy and not overpriced. We had luck of working with Osmar which during the project we had clear communication, expectation of setting, professionalism and superior craftsmanship. He walked us through every step of the way, and helped problem solve tough permitting and structural issues in Berkeley!"

"We build an 400 sqft addition to our living room and made some change to the layout of our home as well , In summary, working with Joel and Avi was a great experience all around. The communication was excellent, the job was done quickly and cleanly, and the end result is absolutely fantastic. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of home renovation and construction work."

"I used Cerlettii & Kennedy for the earthquake brace and bolt program. They knew the steps to get me through the Program's processes, did the drawings and permits, and completed the Program final proof of completion. They also assisted with the paperwork to get my insurance reduced. Essentially, took care of everything but the initial application."

FAQs for kitchen remodel projects in Walnut Creek, CA

Your galley kitchen needs adequate clearance around any island installation to maintain functionality. Most galley kitchens lack sufficient width for traditional islands, as these layouts prioritize efficiency in smaller spaces. 

If your kitchen has an unusual width, consult with a kitchen designer who can evaluate your specific dimensions and recommend appropriate solutions. For narrower spaces, consider alternatives like rolling carts or narrow work tables that provide additional surface area without permanently restricting movement.

Kitchen remodels require six to 10 weeks for completion, though timelines vary based on project scope and material availability. Simple updates like cabinet refinishing and countertop replacement might finish within a few weeks, while comprehensive renovations involving structural changes often extend beyond two months. 

Planning stages add approximately four weeks before construction begins. Maintaining clear communication with your contractor and ordering materials early helps prevent unnecessary delays.

Common errors include insufficient clearance between opposing countertops, inadequate lighting that creates shadowy work areas, and poor storage planning that leaves countertops cluttered. Some homeowners select oversized appliances that overwhelm the space or invest in expensive features that don't address fundamental workflow issues. 

Careful planning, accurate measurements, and consultation with experienced professionals help avoid these pitfalls and ensure your renovation successfully addresses your kitchen's specific challenges.

Whether expansion makes sense depends on your home's layout, your budget, and your long-term plans. Combining a galley kitchen with neighboring spaces creates more open, flexible layouts that many buyers prefer. However, removing walls involves substantial costs, particularly if they contain plumbing, electrical systems, or structural elements. 

Sometimes, optimizing your existing galley layout through better storage solutions and lighting proves more cost-effective than expansion. Consult with a contractor to evaluate specific costs for your situation.

Effective galley kitchen lighting combines multiple sources to eliminate shadows and create visual spaciousness. Overhead fixtures provide general illumination, while under-cabinet lighting illuminates work surfaces directly. Consider recessed ceiling fixtures that don't protrude into limited headspace. 

Lighting with dimming capabilities allows adjustment for different activities. Reflective surfaces like glass tile backsplashes or glossy cabinet finishes help bounce light throughout the space, reducing the corridor effect common in galley layouts.
