Cabinets for Oakland's oldest and loveliest kitchens.
From Rockridge Craftsmans to Temescal cottages to Dimond Avenue bungalows, we've rebuilt kitchens in almost every Oakland neighbourhood.
Oakland kitchens have character. We work with it.
Oakland's housing stock is some of the most varied in the Bay. Shingled Craftsmans, Spanish-revival bungalows, post-war ranches, mid-century moderns, and newer infill. Each one wants a different kitchen, and off-the-shelf cabinets almost never fit. That's why you need someone who mills to the wall you have, not the wall some catalogue assumed.
Neighbourhoods we've worked in
Rockridge, Temescal, Grand Lake, Piedmont Avenue, Adams Point, Lakeshore, Oakmore, Dimond, Laurel, Redwood Heights, Montclair, Trestle Glen, Cleveland Heights, Crocker Highlands, Maxwell Park, Glenview, and more.
What matters for an Oakland kitchen
- Honouring the architecture. Shaker or beaded-inset for Craftsman. Slab for mid-century. Painted for Victorian. We pick styles that age with the house.
- Storage in compact footprints. Many Oakland kitchens are small. We specialise in tall pantry pulls, deep drawers, and corner solutions that don't waste a square inch.
- Seismic-aware installation. Cabinets get anchored properly. Tall pantries get rated hardware.
- Matching period detail. We replicate crown profiles, bead-board backs, and turned legs on request.
How long does an Oakland kitchen take?
Typical timeline: 2 weeks of design, 6-10 weeks in our shop, 1-2 weeks of on-site install. That's 10-14 weeks from yes to your-first-coffee-in-the-new-kitchen.
