MOUNTAIN VIEW KITCHEN SPECIALISTS
Where Eichler History Meets Modern Kitchen Design
Mountain View has one of the highest concentrations of Eichler homes anywhere in California, clustered across Monta Loma, Rex Manor, and Waverly Park. Those homes carry something most kitchens never have to account for: radiant heating loops poured directly into the concrete slab floor decades ago. Cut into that floor blind, without testing first, and a contractor can sever a heating line that has run quietly since the 1950s — turning a kitchen remodel into a much bigger repair.
Kitcheny Remodel locates and protects that system before any demolition starts, on every Eichler project we take on in Mountain View. Beyond the Eichler neighborhoods, the city also holds older bungalows near Old Mountain View and Castro Street, where the electrical infrastructure tells its own story.
HONEST GUIDANCE
Is a Kitchen Remodel Right for Your Home?
Yes — Full Remodel
A full remodel fits if you are changing the layout, adding new cabinetry throughout, or planning work that touches plumbing or electrical systems. Many Mountain View Eichler owners want to open up a closed-off kitchen into the home’s signature great room — which almost always counts as a full remodel.
Lighter Update? We'll Tell You
If your Eichler kitchen just needs new countertops or refaced cabinets without disturbing the slab, our Kitchen Cabinets and Countertops service is the simpler, faster route — and we will tell you that directly rather than push a bigger project than you need.
KNOW BEFORE YOU BUILD
Four Things That Make a Mountain View Remodel Different
These four factors shape cost, timeline, and scope on every Mountain View project.
01. Permits: Cabinets Yes, Counters No
The City of Mountain View does not require a permit for kitchen countertop replacement or for refacing existing cabinets. Replacing the cabinets themselves does need one, along with electrical load calculations and a stamped floor plan.
02. Eichler Slabs Hide Radiant Heating
Post and beam Eichler homes in Monta Loma, Rex Manor, and Waverly Park have copper or PEX heating loops embedded in the concrete floor that must be located and pressure tested before any slab work begins. Cutting blind is the single most common way an Eichler remodel goes over budget.
03. Old Homes Often Have Undersized Panels
Properties built before 1940 near Castro Street frequently run on 100 amp service that needs upgrading to 200 amps to safely support a modern kitchen’s appliances, lighting, and outlets.
04. Construction Hours Are Restricted Citywide
Work is limited to Monday through Friday 7 am to 6 pm, and Saturday 9 am to 5 pm — with no construction permitted on Sundays or holidays. Crews and neighbors both plan around this.

WHY REMODEL
Benefits of Remodeling Your Mountain View Kitchen
Better Daily Function
A remodel re-engineers how your kitchen works — improving the work triangle, adding storage, and making the space match how your household actually cooks and gathers today.
Raised Resale Value
A dated kitchen can pull a Mountain View home out of multiple-offer territory. A completed remodel puts it back in — with documentation that the work was permitted and inspected.
Protects What Makes Eichlers Valuable
A remodel done correctly protects the post-and-beam architecture and radiant heating system that define Eichler value — rather than compromising them in the name of modernizing.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
Mountain View homeowners ask these before they hire.
A permit is required if cabinets are being replaced. It is not required for countertop replacement or cabinet refacing alone, though electrical and plumbing work tied to a larger remodel may need its own permit.
Only if the contractor does not check for radiant heating in the slab first. Kitcheny Remodel tests and maps those lines before any floor work starts, so the risk is managed rather than discovered partway through.
Saturday work is allowed from 9 am to 5 pm. No construction is permitted on Sundays or city holidays, which we build into your project schedule from the start.
Timelines vary with scope, but most full remodels run several weeks once permits are issued. We confirm a realistic schedule for your specific project at your consultation.
Cost depends on layout, materials, and scope. We provide a written quote after your free consultation — not a flat rate. Mountain View pricing is in line with broader South Bay rates, adjusted for permit processing time.
