Do I need to hire separate subcontractors?

No. As a design-build firm, we coordinate licensed trades for you—you don’t have to act as the general contractor.

Who pulls permits and meets inspectors?

We do. We plan the permit path, submit paperwork, and meet inspectors as required.

What if a trade doesn’t show up?

We manage the schedule and the trades. If there’s an issue, we deal with it—you’re not chasing people.

How do I choose cabinets, counters, and finishes?

We narrow choices to a manageable set and walk you through what’s in style, what lasts, and what fits your budget.

Will my kitchen feel dated in a few years?

We balance timeless layout and forms with details that keep the room current without being overly trendy.

How long does a typical kitchen remodel take once construction begins?

Most kitchens run about 8–12 weeks on site, depending on scope and product lead times.

What drives kitchen cost the most?

Layout changes, cabinet line and configuration, surface selection, appliances, and lighting have the biggest impact. We’ll show you smart places to splurge vs. save.

What areas do you serve?

We serve Danville, Alamo/Blackhawk, Walnut Creek, Lafayette, Moraga, San Ramon, Dublin, Pleasanton, Livermore, and nearby communities in the Tri-Valley.

Kitchen Remodeling in the Tri-Valley

Most people don’t remodel kitchens very often. When you do, you want to get it right the first time.

The two big worries we hear:

“I don’t want to spend this much money and regret my choices.”
“I don’t want a project that drags on because no one is in charge.”

Our job at KDC is to solve both. We help you decide where it makes sense to spend more (layout, cabinets, lighting) and where a good mid-range option is perfectly fine. And we run your kitchen as a design-build project, so the same team that designs it is responsible for building it and keeping the schedule moving.

What Design-Build Means for Your Kitchen

Instead of hiring a separate designer, a general contractor, and a bunch of subs, you hire one team: us.

We draw the plan and help you pick materials and fixtures.
We order what’s needed so it matches the plan.
We handle permits and inspections.
We schedule and manage the trades so you’re not calling people asking why they’re not on site.

You get one point of contact and one team that owns the outcome.

High-End Luxury

If you want to go all in, we can. High-end kitchen projects usually mean fully custom or premium semi-custom cabinets, more detailed moldings, panel-ready appliances, and showpiece stone. Think inset doors, built-in hutch pieces, a custom hood, and a few “wow” details you notice every time you walk into the room.

This is often the route people take when it’s their “forever kitchen” and they want exactly what they want, down to the last detail.

Attainable Luxury

If you want it to look great and work well without going to the top of the price chart, we focus on attainable luxury.

That usually means smart cabinet lines with solid construction, durable quartz counters, and a layout that fits how you actually cook and live. Then we put the extra dollars into a few key items you touch and see every day—better lighting, a great faucet, hardware that feels solid—so the kitchen still feels special without overspending everywhere.
