How matching works

Why San Diego homeowners use Modern Kitchen SD

We are a referral service, not a general contractor. Tell us your city and project scope. We will try to connect you with an independent kitchen remodeler that serves your area. You contract with that business directly.

  • We refer. We do not remodel. Modern Kitchen SD does not perform the work, employ crews, hold a contractor license, or warrant the job. The remodeler you choose does the inspect, the quote, and the build.
  • You contract with the remodeler, not with us. The contractor evaluates the kitchen, sets the price and schedule, and puts the number in writing. Verify the current CSLB license and insurance at cslb.ca.gov before you sign.
  • Scope is the contractor's job to defend. A reface can beat a full remodel when the boxes are solid. Ask the contractor to say so in writing when that is the right path, instead of selling the biggest job on the menu.
  • The line is voicemail. Calls are recorded. Leave your city and what the kitchen needs after the recording notice. The line is not answered live and we do not promise a callback. No national call center reading off a script.

Common kitchen remodel questions in San Diego County

A few of the things homeowners ask before they choose a contractor. If your question is not here, leave a recorded message at (858) 400-4623.

All FAQs
What does a San Diego kitchen remodel cost?

Modern Kitchen SD does not price the work. Cost depends on the existing layout, cabinet condition, materials, utility work, permits, and the contractor you choose. The contractor inspects the kitchen and puts the quote in writing.

How long does a full kitchen remodel take?

The contractor sets the schedule after they inspect. Cabinet lead time, layout changes, and permits can all move the start date. Ask for a written phase list before you sign, not a verbal start week.

Who handles permits and wall removals?

Building permits may be required depending on the scope. The contractor and the building department confirm what your project needs. Do not assume the matched contractor pulls every permit. Name who pulls them in the written scope. City of San Diego Development Services: 619-446-5000. Whether a wall is load-bearing is a call for the contractor and a structural engineer, made on site before anyone cuts.

Can I stay in my home during a kitchen remodel?

Most homeowners stay, but dust, noise, and a closed kitchen are the contractor's plan to settle with you before demo. Ask how they seal the work area and whether a temporary kitchen is realistic for your house.
