Kitchen & Bathroom Renovations
The kitchen and bathroom are often the most-used rooms in a home, so their design and functionality have a huge impact on daily life. We begin each renovation with a detailed needs assessment, determining workflow in the kitchen or desired spa-like features in the bathroom, and pairing that with a style consultation to choose cabinetry, tiles, countertops, and fixtures.
Throughout construction, we carefully manage demo, rough-in, and finish phases. Licensed plumbers handle sink, shower, and toilet installations, while electricians update lighting, outlets, and appliance circuits. Our carpenters install custom or semi-custom cabinets, and tile specialists create beautiful backsplashes, shower surrounds, and floors.
The end result is a high-performance kitchen or bathroom that blends beauty with practicality. Soft-close drawers, under-cabinet lighting, energy-efficient appliances, and leak-proof plumbing fixtures all contribute to an upgraded living experience. You'll enjoy improved functionality, easier maintenance, and an immediate boost to your home's value.
Kitchens and bathrooms are where remodeling budgets earn their highest return, and Construction Crafters renovates both across San Diego with craftsmanship you can see and plumbing and electrical work you can trust. We manage demolition, layout changes, cabinetry, tile, countertops, lighting, and fixtures as one coordinated job, so you are not chasing separate trades.
Every finish, decided before demolition starts.
Kitchens and bathrooms stall when selections are made late. The schedule below gets filled in during design, so ordering never holds up the trades.
Typical kitchen programme, 4 to 8 weeks
- Wk 1Protection and demolition
- Wk 2Rough plumbing and electrical
- Wk 3Inspection, board and paint
- Wk 4-6Cabinets set, counters templated
- Wk 6-8Tile, fixtures, snag and handover
Counter templating cannot start until cabinets are set, which is why a stone kitchen has a gap in the middle of the programme. We sequence the rest of the work into it.

Our process, step by step
Design consultation
We measure the space, talk through how you actually use it, and align on layout, materials, and budget before anything is ordered.
Selections and ordering
Cabinetry, countertops, tile, and fixtures are selected and ordered early, because lead times, not labor, are what usually stall a remodel.
Permits where needed
Moving plumbing, walls, or electrical requires permits in San Diego; we pull them and build to code.
Demolition and build
Demo, rough-in, waterproofing, and finishes run in a tight sequence with the work area sealed off from the rest of your home.
Punch list and reveal
We walk the finished space with you, complete the punch list, and leave you a kitchen or bath that works as good as it looks.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in San Diego?
A finishes-focused refresh typically runs $30,000 to $60,000, a full remodel $60,000 to $120,000, and high-end projects with layout changes $120,000 or more. Cabinetry and countertops are usually the biggest line items, so we lock those selections first.
How much does a bathroom remodel cost in San Diego?
A same-layout refresh usually lands between $18,000 and $35,000, a full remodel between $35,000 and $70,000, and primary or spa bathrooms between $70,000 and $120,000 depending on tile, fixtures, and whether plumbing moves.
How long does a kitchen remodel take?
A typical kitchen remodel runs 4 to 8 weeks depending on whether walls move and how custom the cabinetry is. We sequence cabinet and countertop lead times early so the install does not wait on materials.
Do bathroom remodels need permits?
Cosmetic updates usually do not, but moving plumbing, changing the layout, or altering electrical does require permits in San Diego. We tell you exactly what your scope needs and handle it.
Can we use the kitchen during the remodel?
Not the work zone itself, but we help you set up a temporary kitchen and sequence the work so the disruption window is as short as possible.
Do you help with design and material selection?
Yes. We guide layout, cabinetry, stone, tile, and fixture decisions during the design consultation, and we tell you honestly where spending more pays off and where a mid-range product performs just as well. You make the choices; we make sure they work together.
Can you remodel more than one bathroom at once?
Yes, and doing them together often saves on mobilization and overlapping trades. We can phase the work so your household always has a functioning bathroom.
How do you protect the rest of my house during the work?
We seal off the work area, use dust control, protect floors and walkways, and clean the site daily so the disruption stays contained.
