What we find in Martinez kitchens
Martinez has a historic core of Victorian and early-1900s homes alongside post-war and hillside neighborhoods. Older kitchens there were often remodeled piecemeal over the decades.
We plan a single, complete update — wiring, plumbing, cabinets and counters together — so the kitchen works as one room instead of a collection of past fixes.
One contract for the whole kitchen
Demolition & prep
Protection for the rest of the house, removal of the old kitchen and repair of what we find behind it.
Layout & walls
We confirm what a wall carries before opening it, and plan the permits and inspections that change needs.
Cabinets & counters
Cabinetry measured on site before ordering, then counters templated to the installed cabinets.
Plumbing & gas
Sink, dishwasher, ice-maker and gas lines updated or relocated as the design needs.
Electrical & lighting
Dedicated appliance circuits, GFCI-protected counter outlets and layered LED lighting.
Finishes
Backsplash, flooring, paint and hardware, so the kitchen is finished as one room.
Permits and inspections, handled
Kitchen permits in Martinez are issued by the City of Martinez Building Division. We prepare the application, schedule the inspections and meet the inspector on site.
When a permitted remodel touches them, California also requires a few upgrades that we build in from the start:
- GFCI-protected countertop outlets and dedicated appliance circuits
- High-efficacy (LED) lighting under California’s energy code
- A water-conserving kitchen faucet
- Working smoke and carbon-monoxide alarms, which the inspector checks

Kitchen Remodeling in Martinez: FAQ
Do I need a permit to remodel a kitchen in Martinez?
Usually, yes. In California a permit is normally required when a remodel moves or replaces plumbing, changes electrical circuits or alters walls; purely cosmetic work often is not. In Martinez permits are issued by the City of Martinez Building Division. We confirm what your project needs at the site visit, prepare the application and handle the inspections.
How long does a kitchen remodel take in Martinez?
It depends on the scope, permit timing and cabinet lead times, which are usually the longest wait. Cabinets are measured on site before they are ordered, and you get a written schedule with your proposal from one project manager.
Can I use my kitchen during the remodel?
Not during a full remodel. Many clients set up a temporary kitchen with the refrigerator and a microwave in another room; we tell you at the estimate which weeks are the hard ones.
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Martinez?
Every kitchen is priced from what we see on site: the size of the room, whether plumbing moves, the finishes you choose and what we find behind the walls. We give you a written, fixed price after a free visit — or often from photos you send with the form above — rather than a ballpark range.
Which parts of Martinez do you work in?
All of Martinez, including Downtown Martinez, Alhambra Valley, Vine Hill, Waterfront. If you are not sure whether we cover your street, send your address with the form and we will confirm.
