Kitchen, bathroom & garage remodeling in Palo Alto.
Palo Alto is where Landford has documented the widest range of work: a kitchen, a bathroom, and a garage, each planned and built with Adam as the point of contact.
Request a consultationThree Palo Alto rooms, three different goals.
The Palo Alto kitchen pairs natural wood cabinetry with an island cooktop. A Palo Alto bathroom brings a shower, bathtub, and double vanity into one plan. A separate garage became a home gym with EV charging—an example of improving how a garage is used without presenting it as living space.
If you are weighing more than one room, tell Adam which matters most and how you want to sequence the work. A kitchen and a bathroom on different schedules can be planned so the house stays usable during construction.
