Kitchen Remodeling in Daly City, CA | Junior Elite Services

Daly City kitchen remodels and the debris rules

A kitchen tear-out in Daly City runs into the city's construction and demolition rules. Republic Services is the only provider allowed to supply debris boxes, and alterations valued over $15,000 must recycle at least 60% of their debris and post a refundable deposit, 3% of project value for residential work, with a $300 minimum and a $5,000 maximum. A box that blocks street parking also needs a Public Works encroachment permit.

Demo gets planned around the debris box, then the work goes in order: wall and floor repairs, cabinets set level, counters templated, backsplash, fixtures and paint. Sink, gas or electrical changes are contracted through our licensed partner Bay Builder Inc. Outdoor work on permitted jobs starts at 8 a.m. on weekdays, so any outdoor cutting waits until then.

Worth knowing about Daly City

Westlake, one of western Daly City's oldest subdivisions, dates to the early 1950s; its single-family homes are generally split-level and detached, on lots of 3,000 square feet or larger.
In St. Francis Heights, Serramonte and Southern Hills, the typical house is two stories with the living area above a two-car garage.
East of I-280, parts of Vista Grande hold some of the city's oldest homes, mostly one story over a small one-car garage; Crocker has small lots with little or no setback.

Junior and his crew were awesome to work with. Junior was always on time, respectful, thoughtful, and meticulous in his work. He is genuinely a kind soul and a great human - as were all his crew members. The work was very fairly priced. He always showed up when he said he would and he never kept me guessing. I would strongly recommend his group. For reference, he did a full interior remodel/refresh of our condo: floors, kitchen, walls, and bathrooms.

Kitchens in Daly City: questions

Do you work in Daly City?

Yes. Daly City is about 7 road miles from our base in San Bruno, roughly 11 minutes without traffic. We work all over town, from Westlake to Top of the Hill.

Who issues permits in Daly City?

The City of Daly City Building Division (Economic & Community Development Department). Repairs and like-for-like replacements often don't need a permit; layout changes, new plumbing or new electrical usually do. When one is needed, the job is contracted through our licensed partner Bay Builder Inc.

When can noisy work happen in Daly City?

Under Daly City's 2026 construction-hours ordinance, outdoor work on projects that need a building permit runs 8 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on weekends during Standard Time, 8 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. daily during Daylight Saving Time, and not on federal holidays. We schedule noisy work inside those hours.

How long does a kitchen remodel take?

Plan on several weeks for a full remodel, much of it waiting on cabinets and counters. We sequence the work so the kitchen is out of service for as little time as possible.
