AfterFast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Napa
Kitchen remodeling in Napa typically runs $14,000 – $45,000 for a full renovation, depending on cabinet line, countertop material and how much structural work the 2014 earthquake left behind. Smaller kitchens start around $9,000. You’ll get a written price before any work starts, and the number we hand you is the number on the final invoice. Call (936) 259-2607 to schedule your free estimate.
We work throughout Napa, from the Victorian-era homes in Fuller Park to the mid-century ranchers on the flatlands and the hillside estates off Dry Creek Road. Our crews know the soil, the permit office, and the lead times. That local knowledge is why our schedule holds and why the price doesn’t drift once the cabinets arrive.
Why Penhallow Remodeling Is Napa’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
Napa homeowners keep our number because we answer the phone and we show up. Every call gets a live person, 24/7, not a voicemail that vanishes into a callback queue. Trevor Nash set that standard, and our background-checked, uniformed technicians operate the same way on every job, every time.
We’re part of the Kingswell family of companies, operating to The Kingswell Way since 2004: say the price before the work, show up in the window we gave, leave the place cleaner than we found it. On every Napa project, that means a written guarantee and a 365-Day Done Right Promise. If something fails inside that year, we come back and fix it at no charge, with no service call fee and no re-inspection fee. Free second visit. Period.
We’ve remodeled kitchens in Old Town bungalows, Silverado Highlands estates, and Browns Valley ranchers. The common thread is that the owners wanted a real number and a real schedule before picking up a sledgehammer. We hand them both in writing.
Kitchen Design in Napa
Kitchen Design in Napa means something different than it does twenty miles south. The cabinet shop that builds your walnut island is often the same millwork shop cutting wine-tasting-room bars up valley, and the architectural glass supplier that furnishes your backsplash may be booked on a Silverado Trail winery project. So our design process starts with vendor lead times, not just dimensioned drawings.
Design work on a Napa kitchen runs $14,000 – $45,000 for a full remodel including design, coordination and installation. That figure covers layout changes, cabinet selection, countertop templating, and the structural review that older Napa homes often require. We coordinate directly with architects and designers when the project calls for it, but most homeowners only need us to translate their ideas into a buildable plan with a fixed price attached.
Cabinet and Countertop Selection
We specify KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, and Cambria, Silestone and Caesarstone countertops. These are recognized trade brands with their own warranties layered on top of ours. When a vendor quotes an eight-week lead time, we lock the order date and build the whole schedule backwards from it.
Layout and Structural Review
In older Napa homes, a load-bearing wall change or a post-and-pier foundation issue can change a cabinet layout. We bring in a structural engineer when the wall you want gone matters to the roof. The permit office in Napa wants to see that too, and we pull permits and pass inspections before the first box of cabinets is ever ordered.
Kitchen Renovation in Napa
Kitchen Renovation in Napa usually begins with a house that’s forty to a hundred years old and a kitchen that’s been patched together over decades. The 2014 South Napa Earthquake left plenty of Fuller Park and Old Town homes with racked window openings and floors that slope just enough to throw a level off. We check the frame and foundation before we hang a single cabinet.
A full renovation in Napa runs $14,000 – $45,000. That’s not a teaser rate. The final number depends on whether we’re refacing existing boxes or gutting to studs, what countertop material you choose, and whether the subfloor needs leveling or the wall we’re removing is load-bearing. We’ll tell you the exact number in writing before demolition starts.
Full Kitchen Renovation
We take the room down to framing, fix what the earthquake or time has shifted, then rebuild with new electrical, plumbing, cabinets, counters and finishes. The schedule follows the cabinet and glass lead times, not the other way around. You’ll know the completion date before we order the first box.
Small and Partial Kitchen Remodels
Not every Napa kitchen needs a gut job. If the footprint works but the cabinets are tired, a partial remodel runs $9,000 – $20,000 and often includes cabinet refacing, new counters, a backsplash and updated fixtures. Same written price, same 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Trusted Brands We Service in Napa
We install and service cabinetry and countertop lines that Napa homeowners request by name: KraftMaid, Wellborn, Cambria, Silestone, Caesarstone, Kohler and Moen fixtures. Because we stock common replacement parts locally for the brands we install, warranty follow-up and small fixes don’t wait on a parts truck from Sacramento. We also work with specialty and prefabricated home product lines like Abodu and Cover where a kitchen renovation ties into a larger addition or ADU project. When we specify a brand, it’s because the product’s own warranty supports the one we give you in writing.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Napa Homes
- Post-2014 earthquake framing shifts. Homes in Fuller Park and Old Town often show racked window openings or out-of-level floors from the South Napa Earthquake. A cabinet layout built on an unlevel wall will produce gaps and cracked counters within a year. We check before we build.
- Expansive clay soil under slab foundations. Napa’s volcanic and clay soils swell in wet winters and shrink in dry summers. That movement can crack tile and shift cabinet lines if the subfloor isn’t addressed first. We specify the right underlayment for the soil you’re on.
- Lead times that outrun the demo crew. Custom cabinetry and architectural glass in Napa are pulled through the same winery-construction pipeline as wine cave interiors. If you order after demo day, you live without a kitchen for months. We lock vendor dates before we swing the hammer.
- Permit surprises on older homes. Napa’s building department reviews load-bearing wall changes and foundation work carefully, especially in historic districts. Starting before the permit is issued turns a surprise into an unwritten change order. We pull permits first and sign the scope before demolition starts.

FAQs About Kitchen Remodeling in Napa
We write the full scope, allowances and draw schedule into the contract before we order anything. That means we confirm vendor lead times on cabinetry and architectural glass, lock the order dates, and then fix the price in writing. The number you sign is the number you pay, even if the millwork shop pushes a delivery date. Call (936) 259-2607 for an exact quote on your project.
Yes, for any job that touches electrical, plumbing, load-bearing walls or the foundation. Napa’s building department reviews those changes, especially in historic districts like Fuller Park and Old Town. We pull permits, coordinate inspections, and pass final sign-off before calling the job done. You’ll never be asked to handle the permit office yourself.
Napa’s volcanic and expansive clay soils swell with winter rain and shrink in summer, which shifts slab foundations and can crack tile or rack cabinet lines. On hillside lots in the Vaca and Mayacamas ranges, the movement is worse. We check the subfloor and frame before we build, and specify underlayment and leveling that match the soil you’re actually on.
Semi-custom cabinetry from KraftMaid or Wellborn typically runs six to ten weeks, and architectural glass can run longer because Napa’s millwork and glass shops serve the valley’s winery construction pipeline too. We lock the vendor dates before demolition, so you’re not living with a gutted kitchen waiting on a delivery. We sequence the whole job around confirmed dates, not guesses.
Usually, yes. We set up dust containment and keep the worksite clean per The Kingswell Way. The exception is when full demolition hits the main floor and you’d be without water or power for more than a day. We’ll tell you up front, in writing, what the disruption looks like before you commit. Call (936) 259-2607 to walk through your project.
