The Ultimate Guide to Kitchen Remodeling in Irvine

Irvine CA Full Remodel 6

Irvine’s master-planned villages are full of homes built from the 1970s through the 2000s —
well-built, but many now with dated kitchens and HOA guidelines to work within. Katz Design &
Builders is a licensed design-build firm (California CSLB #1089060) that remodels kitchens across
Irvine, delivering modern, high-functioning spaces built to the standard Irvine homeowners expect.

A recent Irvine project

for.
