Berkeley Home Additions remodels kitchens and baths across Los Gatos and the surrounding foothills. These are the rooms a high-end home is judged by and the ones that date it the fastest, and they are also the most technical to get right, packing plumbing, electrical, tile, cabinetry, and waterproofing into a tight footprint. We plan the remodel around how you genuinely cook, entertain, and start your day, then build it with the systems and the waterproofing done correctly behind the finishes.
- Layout and cabinetry reworked for real use
- Quality cabinetry, stone, tile, and fixtures
- Plumbing and electrical updated to code
- Wet areas waterproofed and detailed correctly
- One design-and-build team from demo to final
The layout is what makes a kitchen or bath truly work
A beautiful kitchen with a poor layout is still a frustrating kitchen, and in a Los Gatos home built for entertaining the layout matters even more. Before any finish is chosen, we work out how the room should flow: where cooking, prep, cleanup, and storage belong, how guests and family move through the space, and how to fit it all into the footprint you have. The same discipline applies to a bath, where the placement of the vanity, the shower, and the storage decides how the room feels every single morning.
Sometimes the best improvement is moving a wall, relocating a window to chase the foothill light, or borrowing space from an adjacent room. Because we plan and build together, those structural moves are on the table from the start rather than ruled out because a separate designer never priced the framing they require.
We design the layout with you, then confirm it actually works against the real plumbing and electrical before we commit. A layout that looks elegant on paper but fights the existing systems is a layout that quietly drives up the cost, so we settle that early, when it is still cheap to change.
What happens behind the tile
Kitchens and baths fail from the inside out when the work behind the finishes is rushed. Waterproofing a shower correctly, venting and routing the plumbing properly, and bringing the electrical up to code are the steps that decide whether the room lasts or leaks. They are also exactly the steps a too-cheap remodel skips, because no one sees them on the day the tile goes up.
We do that work to standard, every time. The shower pan and the wet walls are waterproofed correctly, the plumbing is run and vented to code, and the circuits a modern kitchen or bath needs are added rather than overloaded onto old wiring. It is unglamorous work, and it is the entire reason the remodel stays sound for years instead of failing quietly behind a finish that still looks new.
Because one crew handles the whole room, the cabinetry, the stone, the tile, and the systems are coordinated from the start. Nothing gets wedged in at the end, and every finish sits on top of work that was done right.
Finishes chosen to fit the home and the budget
The finishes swing the cost the most and give the room its character. Cabinetry, counters, tile, flooring, and fixtures can be specified at a clean, durable level or a fully high-end, personal level, with a real difference in price. We help you choose finishes that suit the design, the home, and the budget rather than defaulting to the most expensive option on every line.
We also match the new work to the rest of the house so a remodeled kitchen or bath reads as intentional, not as one updated room marooned in an older home. The trim, the hardware, the stone, and the palette are all chosen with the whole house in mind, which is what makes a high-end remodel feel cohesive instead of bolted on.
