Kitchen remodel in Lemon Grove, CA.

Full gut remodels, cabinet refacing, custom cabinets, countertops, islands, backsplashes, and open-concept wall removal for this neighborhood and the rest of San Diego County. We match you with one insured crew that handles the whole kitchen and quotes it in writing.

Lemon Grove is mostly post-war and 1960s-70s single-family on smaller lots, with full remodels commonly $30,000-$65,000. Older housing stock means a lot of kitchens on the original box layout, and galley-kitchen-to-open-concept conversions are a strong share of work here. Permitting runs through the County of San Diego for unincorporated addresses and the City of Lemon Grove for incorporated ones.
Local context

What do Lemon Grove homes need?

Central San Diego runs from pre-1920 cottages and Gaslamp condos to 1980s and 90s tract homes in Mira Mesa, Scripps Ranch, and Tierrasanta. A lot of these kitchens are still on their original box or galley layout, over slab-on-grade plumbing, behind a 100-amp panel that needs an upgrade before an induction range goes in. The crews we match you with plan the electrical and the layout pass together, and they pull City of San Diego permits for the work that needs them. In the Mission Valley towers, HOA rules on vent hood discharge and shared plumbing stacks shape what the kitchen can become.

Is cabinet refinishing the same as cabinet refacing?

No. Refinishing sands and re-stains or repaints the doors you already have. Refacing replaces the doors and drawer fronts and puts fresh veneer on the boxes, so the style, color, and hardware all change together. The crews we match you with in Lemon Grove handle refacing and full cabinet replacement, not stain-only refinishing. If your boxes are solid and you only want a new look, refacing is usually the better value.
