Cramped Galley in Tierrasanta

Tierrasanta is 1970s-80s single-family on former Naval reservation land, surrounded by Mission Trails Regional Park. The original galley kitchens and oak cabinets dominate, and a typical Tierrasanta remodel runs $40,000-$70,000 to open the kitchen to the family room, install shaker cabinets, and swap to quartz or granite counters. Fire-zone ember-resistant venting is a small extra we add for any exterior wall work.

Fire-zone ember-resistant venting is a small extra we add for any exterior wall work. Tierrasanta is a 1970s and 1980s master-planned community on slab foundations, and the original kitchen finishes, laminate counter surrounds, oak cabinets, and fiberglass tub-shower units, are at end-of-life in most of the stock. Polybutylene supply lines appear in a portion of the 1980s homes here alongside original copper, and both are worth inspecting when the wall comes open. The Tierrasanta Community Association architectural review applies to any exterior wall penetration, including new exhaust hood venting locations or window resizing, and the crew submits the application with the design package before demo is scheduled. Canyon-edge custom homes on the eastern side of the community have larger primary kitchen with more flexibility for a layout pass. A small number of attached condo pockets off the main streets follow HOA working-hour rules, and the schedule on those jobs is built around the allowed window from the start. The inland mesa location means summer heat builds up in the kitchen without a properly sized range hood, and a quiet high-CFM unit is standard on every Tierrasanta remodel regardless of the other scope.
