"We recently had our bathroom remodeled by Tanoak Construction and we are extremely satisfied with the quality of workmanship. Gant Bowman and Dave Bowman were always available to answer any questions we had and were very transparent throughout the entire process. Finding a local contractor was difficult, but Tanoak Construction made the process easy and stress-free. They were clean, very respectful while in our home, and gave great advice. Every subcontractor they brought in was also great to work with. We highly recommend them to anyone in the Sonoma County area who needs remodeling work done."

"We were very fortunate to have RCA recommended to us by our insurance carrier. After the early-January storms, our house suffered damage in two places: A window was completely blown off the side of the house, and we had water damage and a collapsed ceiling in one room from rain that came in through a chimney. RCA handled both repairs and everything looks good as new. They even handled the mold remediation that was required. Lance and his team were great, and kudos to their office staff (Kalin & Monique) who were always available by phone and able to provide status updates on repairs and billing. While we hope to not need them anytime soon, we would jump at the chance to hire RCA again for any house repairs. Thanks RCA!"

"We had a major kitchen remodelling project in our house including new cabinets, countertops and flooring. Even sinks were replaced. We expected a lot of headaches, delays and unexpected charges. With Spenser and his team none of that happened. He explained from the beginning what our options were, he gave his recommendations that we found quite reasonable. The job started when he said it would and he was regularly checking on the progress. Everything that we wanted to fix (and it wasn?t much) was done at no cost. They did an excellent job, the kitchen is beautiful! "

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.
