4.7 on Google and Yelp · CSLB #1103580
A kitchen or bathroom remodel in Novato usually starts with one question: keep the layout, or change it? A fresh look in the same footprint and a remodel that opens a wall or moves the sink go through very different permits here. We help you pick the scope that fits your budget and your timeline.
We remodel kitchens, bathrooms and whole homes, and we handle the permit, the inspections and the trades in between, so you have one team to call from the first walk-through to the final inspection.

Same layout means a faster permit
The City of Novato issues express permits online for kitchen and bathroom remodels that are non-structural and like-for-like. The room layout and the spots for fixtures and appliances have to stay where they are. When they qualify, the permit is issued right away with no plan review wait.
City of Novato residential express permitsMoving walls or fixtures
Once you move a wall, a sink, a toilet or the range, the job goes through Novato’s standard building permit process instead. That’s often worth it, but it changes the schedule. We lay out both versions of your project so you can decide with real numbers in front of you.

Opening the walls in an older house can turn up original wiring, galvanized pipes or a subfloor that isn’t level. We tell you up front what may turn up and how it would be priced, so a surprise behind the wall doesn’t become a surprise on the bill.

Novato remodeling: questions
Can I get a quick permit for a kitchen or bathroom remodel in Novato?
Sometimes. Novato offers express permits online for kitchen and bathroom remodels that are non-structural and like-for-like, with the layout and fixture locations unchanged. Anything beyond that goes through the standard building permit process. We tell you which one your project needs.
Should I keep my bathroom layout the same to save money?
It usually keeps the cost and the schedule down, because the plumbing stays where it is and in Novato it can mean a faster permit. If the current layout doesn’t work for you, moving things can be worth it. We price both so you can compare.
What does a remodel usually cost?
Most of our kitchen remodels run $25,000 to $60,000. Most of our bathroom remodels run $15,000 to $50,000. Whole-home remodels usually run $200,000 to $500,000. Your consultation gives you a number for your actual project.
How long does a typical remodel take?
It depends on the scope. Smaller remodels may take a few weeks, while larger projects can run two to six months. You get a clear timeline with your estimate.
Is the consultation free?
Yes. We come to your home, look at the space and talk through scope and budget before we put together an estimate.
