Question 1

How much does a kitchen remodel cost in San Francisco?

For a full kitchen remodel in San Francisco — new cabinets, countertops, appliances, and electrical — expect $45,000–$125,000+ depending on scope, finishes, and whether the layout changes. A cosmetic refresh runs $18K–$40K; a full custom buildout can exceed $200K. IronNest provides a written fixed price after a site visit.

Question 3

Do you handle permits, or do I need to hire a permit expediter?

IronNest handles all permits in-house — SF DBI, Planning, PG&E coordination, and all inspections. Permit costs are included in your proposal and itemized line by line.
