Kitchen remodeling in Orange County, with contractors whose last ten kitchens we can vouch for

Kitchen Remodeling in Orange County: questions we get every week
Do I need a permit for a kitchen remodel in Orange County?
Cosmetic updates don’t. Moving plumbing, gas or electrical, or removing a wall, does, and California’s Title 24 lighting rules apply to new kitchen lighting. The permit belongs in the quote.
How long does a kitchen remodel take?
Three to six weeks of work for a mid-range remodel once cabinets arrive; cabinet lead times add four to twelve weeks before that. Plan for a temporary kitchen.
How do I compare three very different bids?
Make them quote the same scope and the same cabinet grade, then compare line by line. We can sit in on that comparison; it is what we do all day.
How much down?
No more than $1,000 or 10%, whichever is less, under California law, then progress payments as milestones are met. Never pay for cabinets in full before they are delivered.
