Kitchen remodeling in Poway
The room you live in most, designed around how you use it.
A kitchen remodel is the project most San Diego homeowners start with, and the one that changes daily life the most: storage you can reach, counter space that works, light where you cook, and a layout that opens to the people you cook for.
Kaminskiy Design and Remodeling designs and builds kitchen remodels across San Diego County: layout, cabinetry, permits and construction by one team on one fixed-price contract,. Custom cabinetry, an island that earns its footprint, lighting in layers, an induction cooktop hidden under porcelain, a wall that comes down between the kitchen and the dining room. Our designers, architectural drafters and project managers take your kitchen from the first sketch to the final walkthrough on one contract, with one fixed price before anything is demolished. Founded in San Diego by Sergei Kaminskiy, and still founder-led.
Poway's ranch homes on half-acre lots, Green Valley and Old Poway give room for additions, outdoor living and the kind of whole-home remodel families plan to grow old in. Permits for kitchen remodels in Poway are issued by the City of Poway. Our design and architectural team drafts the construction documents, a licensed structural engineer stamps them where the scope calls for it, and we submit them and manage the whole process for you.

Poway kitchens: five in our gallery, and a wall in every one of them.
Five of our twelve Poway projects are kitchens: a country kitchen, an estate kitchen, a traditional one, a kitchen and family room opened together, and a full remodel. The Poway kitchen is usually a 1970s or 1980s ranch kitchen behind a wall, next to a family room it should have joined decades ago, in a house with the room for a real pantry.
Nearly every Poway ranch kitchen sits behind a wall with the family room on the other side. Taking it down usually means a bearing wall and a beam sized by our structural engineer, a building permit from the City of Poway, and sometimes raising the ceiling into the attic while the wall is open. Our Poway kitchen and family room remodel in the gallery is exactly this project.

Poway families shop big and cook for crowds. A walk-in pantry carved from the old laundry or a closet, a second refrigerator, and an island long enough for homework and a buffet are the requests we hear most. The room is usually there; the plan was not.
A kitchen on the west side of a Poway house bakes in August. A covered patio outside the kitchen window, a window chosen for heat gain, and good attic ventilation make the room usable at dinner time, and we plan the outdoor living together with the kitchen when the two share a wall.
Families in the Twin Peaks and Garden Road tracts opening the kitchen to the family room, owners of Green Valley ranches building the country kitchen the house deserves, and estate owners in the hills who want the kitchen to match the view. The first meeting is at your kitchen table.
Five Poway kitchens are below, from a country kitchen to an estate kitchen. Finishes are chosen at our Design Center in Rancho Bernardo, about 12 minutes away.

The Poway kitchen remodeling guide
Kitchen remodeling in Poway, in detail.
How a kitchen remodel goes in a Poway house.
The wall to the family room comes down, a beam carries the roof, the ceiling often rises into the attic, and the island takes the place of the peninsula. Most of the budget's structure is in that one wall.
Durable finishes for a family and a walk-in pantry where the old laundry or a closet was. Poway is inland, so the concern is wear and heat, not salt.
A 1970s panel is often 100 amps; the kitchen needs more. Induction, a wall oven and a second refrigerator each want a circuit, and California's Title 24 code governs the lighting. We size the panel with the appliance list.
A City of Poway building permit; no coastal review this far inland. Four to eight months from the first visit to a finished kitchen. A covered patio outside the kitchen is often designed in the same project.

Read all FAQsNothing. The in-home design consultation is complimentary anywhere in Poway. A designer comes to your home, listens to what you want to change, takes measurements and photos, and tells you honestly whether we are the right fit for the project.
We do. Permits for kitchen remodels in Poway are issued by the City of Poway. Our design and architectural team drafts the construction documents, a licensed structural engineer stamps them where the scope calls for it, and we submit them and manage the whole process for you.
Almost always. It is usually a bearing wall, so our structural engineer sizes a beam to carry the roof, and the City of Poway permits it. Raising the ceiling at the same time is common.
About four to eight months from the first visit to the finished kitchen, with design and the City permit first and construction the shorter part.
Five of them are in our online gallery, from a country kitchen to an estate kitchen, with every photo. Twelve Poway projects in all, more than any other neighborhood we serve.
It depends on the size of the kitchen, how much of the layout changes, and the cabinetry, counters and appliances you choose. San Diego kitchens run from tens of thousands of dollars to well into six figures, and cabinetry is usually the largest line. What we promise is a fixed price in writing before anything is demolished: at the design and bid presentation you see every line of the scope, the contract and the schedule together. The kitchen cost calculator on this page gives an honest range in about sixty seconds.
Usually, yes. New cabinets and counters alone generally do not need one, but plumbing, electrical, gas and structural changes do, and most real kitchen remodels touch at least one of those. We draw the plans, submit them to the city or the county, and schedule the inspections, so the permits are never your problem.
It varies with the scope and the neighborhood. National figures put the return as low as half of the budget, while higher-end kitchen remodels in homes on the Pacific coast have returned upwards of 93 percent. An updated kitchen is also the first thing most San Diego buyers look at. The bigger return is daily: a kitchen that works the way you cook and gather.
Cabinetry, almost always. It is the largest material line and the most labor to install well: every box has to be level, flush and strong enough for what goes inside it. Professional-grade appliances and natural stone are the next two lines that move a budget. Our designers show you where a dollar changes the look and where it does not.
Not the kitchen itself. From demolition to the final cleanup the room is a job site. Most families set up a temporary kitchen in the dining room or the garage with the refrigerator, a microwave and a countertop cooktop, and we help you plan it at the pre-construction meeting, before the start date goes on the calendar.
