Kitchen Remodeling
Custom kitchen remodeling in San Diego.
Chef-grade kitchens across San Diego, La Jolla, Pacific Beach, Del Mar, Encinitas, Poway, and Rancho Bernardo. Marble waterfalls, walnut cabinetry, Wolf and Sub-Zero — engineered around how a family actually cooks.
Custom kitchen remodeling for San Diego homes.
The kitchen is the highest-leverage room in any San Diego remodel. It is the room that drives appraisal, the room that drives resale, and the room your family actually lives in. Lieon Housing builds custom chef kitchens across San Diego County — from Mission Hills to La Jolla, Pacific Beach, Del Mar, Encinitas, Poway, and Rancho Bernardo. Our cabinetry is fabricated in-house, our stone is selected at the slab yard with you, and our project managers are kitchen specialists, not generalists.
Every Lieon kitchen starts with the work-triangle and the entertaining-flow. We measure how you cook — where you prep, where you plate, where the kids stack dishes — and we draw a layout that fits the way you actually live. Then we lock the millwork, lock the appliances, lock the stone, lock the lighting, and publish a fixed-fee construction proposal you can sign without surprises.
Custom Cabinetry & Pantries
Walnut, white oak, rift-cut, fluted, lacquered, and integrated panel-ready — built in our shop. Soft-close everywhere. Pull-out spice, two-tier silverware, integrated bin pulls, and the half-millimeter reveals you don't get from a stock semi-custom line.
Marble & Quartzite Waterfalls
Slab selection at Stone Source, Bedrosians, or your fabricator of choice — with us. Mitred waterfalls, book-matched veining across the island, and dry-laid layouts approved on-site before fabrication. Calacatta, Taj Mahal, Mont Blanc, and the warm-veined marbles La Jolla and Del Mar buyers gravitate to.
Wolf, Sub-Zero, Brushed Brass
Wolf ranges and built-in ovens, Sub-Zero refrigeration, Cove dishwashers, Miele coffee, and the brushed-brass and matte-black hardware lines that hold up to a working San Diego kitchen. Panel-ready integration where the design calls for it.
Range Hoods & Plaster Work
Custom plaster hoods, walnut-clad range surrounds, fluted millwork, and the architectural moments that give a kitchen its identity beyond the cabinetry line.
Lighting & Electrical
Layered lighting design — recessed, pendant, under-cabinet, toe-kick, and integrated millwork strips — coordinated with the electrical layout from day one. Smart-home rough-in and dedicated circuits for induction, ovens, and ventilation included.

Why Lieon Housing
Why San Diego homeowners choose Lieon Housing for custom kitchen remodeling.
Kitchen remodeling in San Diego is one of the highest-ROI investments a homeowner can make — when it’s done right. Lieon Housing builds custom kitchens across San Diego, La Jolla, Del Mar, Mission Hills, Escondido, Bonita, and Fallbrook, treating every kitchen as a piece of architecture rather than a stock package. Marble waterfall islands, integrated Sub-Zero columns, custom plaster range hoods, and walnut cabinetry — each detailed in our San Diego shop and installed by the same crew, project after project.
Every kitchen remodel starts with how you actually cook. We map prep zones, cooking zones, cleanup zones, and serving zones to your real workflow — then design cabinetry, appliance integration, and lighting around them. The result is a kitchen that works the way the best San Diego restaurants do, scaled for a private home and finished to the standard La Jolla and Del Mar buyers expect.
Whether you’re rebuilding a coastal Mission Hills kitchen with marine-grade hardware, opening a Bonita ranch-house plan to indoor-outdoor flow, installing a chef’s-grade suite in a Fallbrook acreage home, or modernizing an Escondido entertaining kitchen, the work is delivered turn-key, on a published schedule, with weekly walk-throughs and a single accountable project manager. That’s the Lieon Housing standard for kitchen remodeling across San Diego County.
Frequently Asked
Kitchen remodel questions San Diego homeowners ask.
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in San Diego?
A full Lieon kitchen typically lands between $120k and $350k depending on cabinetry scale, stone selection, appliance package, and structural scope. Coastal La Jolla and Del Mar projects with Wolf 60-inch ranges and twin Sub-Zero columns trend toward the upper end.
How long does a kitchen remodel take?
Most kitchens close within 8–14 weeks of construction once permits issue and cabinetry is in production. Custom millwork lead time is typically 8–10 weeks, which we run in parallel with demo and rough-in.
Can we live in the house during the remodel?
Yes, with a temporary kitchen set up in another part of the home. We plan dust walls and contained work zones around your daily life and discuss the realistic disruption on the feasibility walk.
Do you build cabinets in-house?
Yes. Lieon Housing fabricates kitchen cabinetry, paneling, and built-ins in our own shop. We are not a reseller of stock or semi-custom cabinet brands.
Do I need a permit for my San Diego kitchen remodel?
Yes — any electrical, plumbing, or structural work in a San Diego kitchen requires a permit, and most remodels at this level touch all three. We handle plan-check submission and inspector coordination from end to end.
