Albany Kitchen Remodeling

Custom design-build solutions crafted specifically for the scale and style of your Albany residence.

Whether you live in a classic MacGregor home with a compartmentalized layout or a mid-century property needing a footprint expansion, we build kitchens that harmonize with your space. By unifying the design, engineering, and building processes, we deliver a stress-free renovation experience.

Customizing Kitchens Across Albany

Albany homes possess immense charm but often suffer from restrictive, outdated floor plans. Updating these spaces frequently means gutting old galvanized plumbing and knob-and-tube wiring before any beautiful tile goes up. Our primary goal is to diagnose your home’s underlying condition so we can craft a layout that maximizes every square inch of your property.

Upgrading Power Supplies

The electrical panels in many established Albany homes simply cannot handle induction cooktops or dual ovens. We identify these capacity shortfalls immediately to incorporate necessary electrical heavy-ups into your project scope.

Exhaust and Framing Dynamics

Tearing down a wall to join the kitchen and dining room requires precise structural engineering. We assess your home’s framing early in the consultation process to determine how best to support the roof and route new exhaust ducting

Staging and Material Handling

Albany’s compact lots and shared driveways require careful job site management. We orchestrate all material drop-offs and contractor parking to respect your property lines and your neighbors’ convenience.

Minimizing Daily Friction

Going without a kitchen is a significant lifestyle hurdle. We dedicate time during our planning phases to outline a clear, phased approach that keeps the rest of your home as clean and livable as possible.

Kitchen Remodeling Process

1. Initial Site Visit: 1 to 1 ½ hrs

Every kitchen renovation starts with a vision, and this starts with a walkthrough to see what you have and understand what you want. By listening closely to your goals, vision, questions, and budget, we tailor a design that truly fits your lifestyle and brings your ideal kitchen to life.

On site walkthrough to evaluate your space and discuss the overall goals of the project –
We will provide you with a free ballpark construction cost, which will be a range, for example $65k – $80k.
To proceed, we sign our preconstruction agreement (PCA), which includes the various services you will need to acquire the necessary permits.
Kitchen design can range from very simple design needs to more elaborate, based on construction conditions and client selections.

2. Design & Material Selection: 2 - 4 weeks

Once the vision is clear, the design process puts it all on paper. Every detail is considered, from the countertops, to cabinet layout, to lighting, we will figure out every last detail. A thorough design phase is key to staying on budget.

In-depth consultations for all project goals and design considerations.
Some common design goals include careful layout for cabinet use, best lighting options, countertop / flooring selection as well as overall colors, finish fixtures.
The contractor creates an all-inclusive list of all project selections for client review, which will be used to guide the project.

3. Permitting: 1 - 2 months

Once the design is complete, it’s time to submit the plans to the city for approval! This can take a few months, but during this time you can still keep the project moving! While most product selections will have already been considered, this is the time to actually start shopping for certain items, in most cases top on that list is tile to allow for precise layout of fixtures, niches, and other elements that may be involved.

4. Construction: 1 - 4 months

Finally, our team begins with a careful protection of your surrounding areas. Dust barriers with zipper doors, HEPA air filtration, and floor protection are some of the methods we implement to ensure your home and family are protected from the process. A dedicated team and project manager will execute the job in coordination with the owner, with established working hours put in place.

5. Move In

Upon passing our city final inspection, we will then do a thorough walkthrough, to ensure everything is just right. We will also provide and go over all of your new documentation, including manuals, warranties, etc., as well as provide a long term maintenance plan to help you make sure your kitchen stays beautiful for years to come!
