Kitchen Remodeling in Northern California
By Lermaxx Builders
Transform Your Hardest-Working Room
Your kitchen puts in more hours than any other room in the house. It's where the mornings start, the homework happens, the parties always end up, and dinner comes together night after night.
So a great kitchen remodel isn't only about how the space looks in a photo. It's about how it works around the clock.
Lermaxx Builders designs kitchens around the way you actually cook and gather, then builds them with custom cabinetry, durable finishes, and a layout that finally makes sense.
One coordinated crew handles every trade, so your kitchen comes together cleanly and on schedule
Where to Spend, Where to Save
Not every part of a kitchen deserves the same slice of your budget, and a good builder will tell you that up front.
It's worth spending on the things you touch and see every day, like solid cabinetry, quality countertops, and a layout that actually fits how you cook, because those are what make a kitchen feel great for the next 20 years. You can often save on the pieces that are easy to swap later or that don't take the daily beating, like decorative lighting, open shelving, or a trendy backsplash.
The one place we never cut corners is anything hidden behind the walls, the plumbing, wiring, and structural work, because redoing that later costs far more than doing it right the first time. When we plan your kitchen, we'll help you put your money where it earns its keep.
Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen Remodeling
- How much does a kitchen remodel cost?expand_more
-
Most kitchen remodels fall into three ranges: a starter remodel runs about $40,000 to $70,000, a mid-range project lands around $70,000 to $120,000, and a fully custom kitchen starts at $120,000 and goes up from there. Where you land depends on cabinetry, countertops, appliances, and whether you're changing the layout. Our Cost Guide breaks all three tiers down in detail.
- How long does a kitchen remodel take?expand_more
-
A typical kitchen remodel takes a couple of months of on-site work, though that stretches when you're moving walls, relocating plumbing, or waiting on custom cabinetry. Design and permitting happen before construction starts and add to the overall timeline. You'll get a realistic schedule in writing before we begin.
- Can I use my kitchen during the remodel?expand_more
-
Your main kitchen will be out of commission for the construction phase, so you will want to set up a temporary kitchen space beforehand.
We work to keep that stretch as short and predictable as possible with careful scheduling. Knowing the timeline up front makes the inconvenience a lot easier to plan around.
- Do you help with the design and finish selections?expand_more
-
Yes. As a design-build contractor, we guide you through layout and selections so your choices fit both your style and your budget, or we build from plans you already have. You'll have a team helping you make confident decisions instead of guessing.
Our Process
We start with a conversation about your goals, budget, and timeline, then visit your property to see the space firsthand. From there, you get a detailed written scope and honest estimate, so you know exactly what you're getting before any work begins.
Once you approve the scope, we handle the groundwork that keeps construction on track. We finalize the contract, coordinate any design, engineering, and permits your project needs, and line up schedules, subcontractors, and materials before we build.
Our crew builds to the approved scope with quality materials, a clean jobsite, and daily communication. We finish with a walkthrough, punch list, and full documentation, and hand you a completed space that's ready to enjoy.
