Fast, Reliable Home Remodeling Across Kentfield
A full home remodel in Kentfield typically runs $45,000 – $130,000, while a kitchen remodel lands between $14,000 and $45,000 depending on scope, structural work, and finish level. Those numbers reflect what we see on Kentfield’s older hillside parcels, where mid-century homes hide wiring, subfloor, and drainage questions behind drywall that newer subdivisions never present. We plan for what’s behind the wall, not just what’s in front of it.

Why Mason Remodeling Is Kentfield’s Preferred Home Remodeling Company
We built our reputation in Kentfield the slow way: one project at a time, with a written price delivered before work starts. Homeowners along College Avenue, around Kent Woodlands, and up near Crown Road tell us the same thing: they want to know exactly who is coming to the door and exactly what the work will cost. That’s how we operate on every job.
Our Home Remodeling team follows a named process called the Threshold Standard. Before any crew member arrives, you get their name and photo. At the door, they show a photo ID badge and wear a clean marked uniform. Background checks are completed on every technician. No exceptions, no surprises.
Isaac Pruett, our owner, set that standard because he knows what a remodel means for a family living through it. Kids, older parents, people home alone during the day. The door shouldn’t feel like a risk. It should feel like a plan.
Every completed Kentfield project carries a written guarantee with stated terms, coverage, and exclusions, for 365 days from the completion date. If something is not right within that year, we make it right at no cost to you. And if a repair or installation fails, we come back once at no charge. No dispute process, no conditions.

Luxury Home Remodeling in Kentfield
Luxury Home Remodeling in Kentfield means something specific: working with the bones of a mid-century hillside house while bringing finishes up to a standard that holds value in this market. A luxury kitchen remodel here often starts at the panel, not the cabinet. Older Kentfield homes frequently run on undersized, mid-century power infrastructure, so a finished second bath, expanded kitchen, or laundry relocation often requires a service-load or panel review before the permit can clear. That’s a sequencing issue that rarely comes up in flat, newer subdivisions nearby.
Here’s what a luxury remodel in Kentfield involves start to finish:
Scoping and load review
We walk the house with you, map the existing electrical panel, check for load-bearing walls, and flag any drainage or subfloor concerns before pricing. This keeps the written price honest. No allowances that quietly become change orders.
Specification-grade finishes
Kentfield homeowners choosing luxury work typically select from our material partnerships: KraftMaid or Wellborn cabinets, Cambria or Silestone surfaces, Kohler and Moen fixtures. These are vetted, professional-grade products, priced in writing before work begins.
Full Home Remodel in Kentfield
A Full Home Remodel in Kentfield is a different animal from a room-by-room refresh. When walls come down, you’re dealing with load paths, seismic strapping, and sometimes drainage corrections on hillside foundations. A full remodel here runs $45,000 – $130,000 because the scope includes the structure behind the finishes, not just the finishes themselves.
We sequence the work around Kentfield’s permit and inspection calendar. Framing gets signed off before drywall closes. Electrical rough-in gets inspected before insulation. This is not optional, and skipping it creates deferred corrections that cost more after finishes are installed.
The structural reality
On a hillside lot off McAllister Avenue we remodeled a 1960s galley kitchen. Relocating the range meant updating the rough-in, confirming a wall near the old pass-through was not load-bearing, and upgrading a subfloor that had been sistered one too many times. We pulled Kentfield permits, had the framing and electrical signed off, and finished with Wellborn cabinets, a Cambria quartz island, and a Moen faucet. The punch list closed in one walkthrough because every allowance had been set in writing.
Permit and inspection sequence
A full remodel in Kentfield means coordinated inspections at the right milestones. We pull the permits, schedule the sign-offs, and keep the project moving through each phase without leaving you guessing about what comes next.
Trusted Brands We Service in Kentfield
Homeowners in Kentfield sometimes ask whether we’ll work with prefab or panelized systems from companies like Abodu, Cover, or Dvele. We do, and we handle the site work, utilities, foundation scope, and finish trades around those systems. If you’ve already spoken with Mighty Buildings or a similar provider, we can review the site conditions and give you a written price for the on-site portion of the work before anything is ordered. We also stock common replacement parts locally for Kentfield customers, which keeps material turnaround tighter than waiting on long-lead shipments.

AfterCommon Home Remodeling Problems We See in Kentfield Homes
- Older hillside parcels with undersized power and drainage infrastructure. Kentfield’s mid-century homes were built for a different electrical load than modern kitchens and baths demand. A panel review or service upgrade often precedes the finish work, and we sequence that into the permit before drywall closes.
- Galley kitchens that need more than a cabinet swap. We regularly see 1960s galley kitchens in Kentfield where the electrical rough-in, subfloor condition, or a load-bearing question is the actual job. Treating it as a cabinet-only project creates change orders once walls are open.
- Subfloors that have been sistered too many times. On hillside homes, old subfloors near kitchens and baths often carry years of water exposure and patch repairs. We inspect and correct this before tile or flooring goes down.
- Deferred corrections hidden behind finishes. When a previous owner skipped an inspection or did unpermitted work, the correction shows up at the worst time. We check for open permit issues and unpermitted modifications before pricing, so the written number holds.

FAQs About Home Remodeling in Kentfield
A Kentfield kitchen remodel runs $14,000 – $45,000, and a bathroom remodel runs $9,000 – $28,000. The main cost drivers are electrical panel capacity, load-bearing wall corrections, subfloor repair, and finish level. Older hillside homes often need a panel or service-load review before the permit clears, which adds scope that flat-lot homes never see. Call (803) 680-2547 for an exact quote on your house, not a range.
Yes. Any structural, electrical, plumbing, or drainage work in Kentfield requires permits, and inspection sign-off happens at set milestones before finishes close up the work. We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and keep the sign-off sequence moving. Skipping this is how you buy deferred corrections later.
A full home remodel in Kentfield realistically takes 12 to 20 weeks depending on structural corrections, permit queue timing, and material lead times. Hillside access and older framing can add days that newer subdivisions never see. We give you a written schedule with the written price, so the calendar is as honest as the cost.
The honest answer: nothing, if the walkthrough was thorough. What changes the price on other contractors’ jobs is a vague allowance, an unopened wall, or a skipped load review. We open the scope before pricing. If something genuinely unknown appears, you approve the change in writing before we proceed. No change orders that were never in your hands first.
Often, yes. We match existing cabinet styles through KraftMaid and Wellborn lines, match counters through Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone, and source period-appropriate fixtures from Kohler, Moen, and Toto. If a match isn’t available, we show you the closest options and price them in writing before any order is placed. Call (803) 680-2547 for a free estimate on matching or replacing what’s there.
