It is not a contractor, does no construction work and does not employ remodelers.
Kitchen Remodel San Diego is a referral service: it connects homeowners with independent local remodelers and is not a contractor.
How it works
- You call the number on this site or send the request form.
- Your details go to an independent remodeler who serves your area.
- The remodeler contacts you, looks at your kitchen and gives you their own written estimate.
- If you choose to go ahead, you sign a contract directly with that contractor and pay them directly.
Sending a request costs nothing and does not commit you to anything. You decide whether to hire anyone.
What this site does not do
- It does not do, bid on, manage or price any remodeling work.
- It does not sell for, sign for or speak for any contractor.
- It does not check licenses or vouch for any remodeler.
- It does not take any payment from homeowners.
Before you sign, look up the contractor’s license on the CSLB website, or call the Contractors State License Board at (800) 321-CSLB. In California, work that costs $1,000 or more in labor and materials combined, or that needs a building permit, must be done by a licensed contractor.
How it is paid for
Kitchen Remodel San Diego may receive compensation from participating providers. That never changes what you pay a contractor, and it never decides what these pages say about materials, costs or the law.
How the pages are written
The pages are researched from public sources: the Contractors State License Board, the California Business and Professions Code, the City of San Diego Development Services Department, the California Energy Commission, the Cost vs Value report and the Houzz kitchen studies. Cost figures always carry their source and year. Where a rule was not confirmed on an official page, the pages say so and point you to the office that decides.
Nothing here is legal advice. For a dispute with a contractor, CSLB is the place to start.
Questions to ask before you sign
- Is your license active on the CSLB website?
- Will you put the whole job in a written contract?
- How much is the down payment, and when are the other payments due?
- Who pulls the permit, and are the fees in the price?
- How do we agree on changes before they are made?
- When will work start and end?
