Sacramento, CA
Sacramento kitchen remodels, including open-concept conversions
Several of our recent Sacramento projects started with the same request: open up the kitchen. In one, we removed a wall, added a new window and rebuilt the kitchen from the studs. In another, we opened the layout and installed new windows and a door so light reaches the whole room. In older Sacramento homes, the kitchen is often the smallest and darkest room, and changing that transforms how the house feels.
Homes in East Sacramento, Land Park, Curtis Park and Midtown, built between the 1910s and the 1950s, usually need more than new cabinets. We often replace or upgrade wiring, add dedicated appliance circuits, replace galvanized supply lines and add proper ventilation. Ranch homes in the Pocket and Greenhaven from the 1960s and 1970s often have a galley kitchen next to a formal dining room that can be combined into one space. Natomas homes from the 1990s and 2000s typically keep their layout and get new finishes.
See our Sacramento kitchen projects in the Local Projects section below, each with photos and details.
What to Expect
What a Sacramento kitchen remodel usually involves
Removing walls in older homes
Walls between the kitchen and dining room in pre-war homes may be load-bearing or carry plumbing and wiring. An engineer specifies any beam, and we include it in the permit drawings submitted to the City of Sacramento.
Bringing electrical up to today’s needs
Modern kitchens need several dedicated circuits, GFCI protection near water and good lighting. In homes with original wiring or a small panel, we plan the upgrade with SMUD as part of the project, not as an afterthought.
Windows and natural light
Adding or enlarging a window over the sink or opening a wall to the backyard changes the feel of an older Sacramento kitchen. These changes need structural headers and, in some neighborhoods, attention to exterior appearance.
Lead-safe work in pre-1978 homes
Under federal EPA rules, renovation in homes built before 1978 that disturbs painted surfaces must follow lead-safe work practices. We plan containment and cleanup accordingly.

Homeowner Reviews
Kitchen remodels, in our clients' own words
★★★★★
“…had a few companies come out for estimates, but the other company prices were way out of my budget… I ended up relocating my kitchen and creating a beautiful, spacious island—my dream kitchen—all within a reasonable budget. The project manager, Nikita, was attentive and responsive whenever I had questions…”

FAQ
Kitchen remodeling questions Sacramento homeowners ask
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Sacramento?
Most full kitchen remodels we complete in Sacramento fall between $30,000 and $100,000. Keeping the layout typically runs $30K–$50K, a new layout with an island or a wall removal $50K–$100K, and structural or fully custom work starts around $100K. Older homes may add electrical or plumbing updates, which we price up front.
Can you remove the wall between my kitchen and dining room?
Often, yes. We check whether the wall is load-bearing and what runs through it. If a beam is needed, an engineer specifies it and we include it in the permit drawings.
Do I need to upgrade my electrical panel?
Many older Sacramento homes need more capacity for a modern kitchen, especially for induction cooking. We evaluate the panel during the measure and coordinate any service upgrade with SMUD.
Who issues kitchen remodel permits in Sacramento?
Inside city limits, the City of Sacramento Community Development Department; in unincorporated areas, Sacramento County. We prepare and submit the drawings and schedule inspections.
How long does a kitchen remodel take in Sacramento?
Construction typically takes 8–12 weeks, sometimes longer for older homes that need structural or electrical work.
