Galley Remodel in Rancho Santa Fe, CA.
Galley Remodel for Rancho Santa Fe homes, done by insured San Diego County remodelers we match to your project. Most San Diego homes built between 1955 and 1990 have a galley or U-shaped kitchen with one cook in mind and a soffit hiding dead space above the uppers. We rework these layouts with parallel runs, pull-out pantries, a slim range or cooktop, and ceiling-height uppers so the room actually works for two cooks and a kid doing homework at the counter..
Why is galley remodel different in North County Inland San Diego?
Escondido, San Marcos, and Vista galleys are often 1980s-90s tract builds with a soffit and a single cook in mind. We rework the parallel runs, raise the uppers to the ceiling, add a pull-out pantry, and specify light-color quartz. Many galleys in this region also gain a pass-through window or a full open wall to the family room.
