Nestled between Berkeley and El Cerrito, Albany is a city that blends suburban charm with urban convenience. Its tree-lined streets, walkable neighborhoods, and family-friendly atmosphere make it a desirable place to call home — and for many homeowners, the kitchen is the next big project.

At Royalty Builders, we specialize in remodeling kitchens in Albany homes of all shapes and sizes — from 1920s bungalows to modern townhouses. Whether you’re expanding your kitchen, improving flow, or simply updating finishes, we bring creative solutions, premium materials, and expert craftsmanship to every project.

🔨 Why Remodel Your Kitchen in Albany?

Your kitchen should support your lifestyle, not complicate it. In many Albany homes, kitchens were designed decades ago and don’t reflect today’s needs for open layouts, energy-efficient appliances, or ample storage.

Common reasons our Albany clients choose to remodel:

• Improve kitchen flow and workspace for growing families

• Maximize storage in compact floorplans

• Increase home value with modern upgrades

• Replace outdated cabinetry, flooring, and lighting

• Create a space that feels warm, bright, and personalized

Whether you’re cooking dinner, hosting friends, or helping with homework at the island — your kitchen should feel like home.

🛠️ Full-Service Kitchen Remodeling in Albany — From Start to Finish

At Royalty Builders, we manage every phase of your kitchen remodel in-house — from initial concept to final cleanup. Our design-build model means you’ll work with one dedicated team for everything: design, permits, demolition, construction, installation, and finishing.

Our services include:

• Custom design planning with 3D renderings

• Permit handling and code compliance with Albany city regulations

• Complete construction and installation

• Sustainable material sourcing and green options

• Post-project walkthroughs and quality checks

We also specialize in navigating tight footprints, creative storage, and efficient layouts for smaller kitchens common in Albany homes.

🧱 Custom Cabinetry That Balances Storage and Style

In Albany’s older homes, kitchen storage can be a challenge — but custom cabinetry can transform your space without expanding your footprint. We design and build cabinets that suit your style and maximize every inch.

Our cabinetry solutions include:

• Shaker or slab doors in your choice of color or wood finish

• Full-extension drawers, spice racks, and corner cabinet solutions

• Built-in pantries or tall cabinets for vertical storage

• Open shelving to add charm and character

• Soft-close hardware and under-cabinet lighting

• Eco-friendly finishes and sustainable wood options

We’ll help you create a kitchen that’s as functional as it is beautiful.

🧊 Countertops That Combine Beauty and Durability

Countertops are where design meets daily use. We offer high-performance, low-maintenance surfaces that can handle cooking, prep, spills, and style — all in one.

Popular choices include:

• Quartz – Engineered for durability, stain resistance, and clean finishes

• Granite – Natural stone with one-of-a-kind movement and color

• Butcher block – Warm, natural, and great for family-oriented kitchens

• Marble – Luxurious and classic, perfect for baking spaces

• Recycled and green surfaces – For sustainability-conscious homeowners

We also offer integrated backsplashes, waterfall edges, and matching islands to create a seamless, polished look.

🔆 Lighting That Makes Your Kitchen Shine

Many Albany kitchens lack sufficient lighting, especially in galley or enclosed layouts. We’ll help you brighten your space and create lighting layers for beauty, safety, and mood.

Lighting upgrades we provide:

• Recessed LED lighting for energy-efficient ambient light

• Pendant lights over islands or dining nooks

• Under-cabinet task lighting for meal prep zones

• Toe-kick and in-cabinet accent lighting

• Smart lighting systems you can control from your phone

Good lighting makes your kitchen feel bigger, brighter, and more inviting — day or night.

🧱 Backsplashes That Reflect Your Personality

Your backsplash adds visual interest, protects your walls, and ties your design together. Whether you want understated elegance or bold expression, we’ll help you find the right materials and patterns.

Design options include:

• Classic subway tile in white, gray, or color

• Mosaic or geometric patterns for a creative pop

• Full-slab quartz or stone for modern elegance

• Handmade or textured tiles for an artisanal touch

• Recycled glass or ceramic options for sustainability

Every backsplash is installed with precise attention to grout lines, symmetry, and waterproofing.

🪵 Flooring Built for Real Life

The kitchen is a high-traffic zone, and flooring needs to stand up to daily wear without compromising on design. We install flooring that’s easy to clean, resilient, and beautiful.

Top flooring choices for Albany homes:

• Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) – Waterproof, affordable, and wood-look

• Porcelain or ceramic tile – Durable, sleek, and low maintenance

• Engineered hardwood – Warm and elegant, great for older homes

• Natural stone – Rustic charm and long-lasting durability

• Cork or bamboo – Eco-friendly and naturally antimicrobial

We’ll help you choose a material that works for your space, your budget, and your taste.

🍳 Kitchen Islands That Add Function and Flair

A well-designed island can turn your kitchen into the center of your home — even in smaller layouts. We create custom islands that serve as prep space, dining areas, and storage all in one.

Island features we offer:

• Seating for quick meals or socializing

• Pull-out drawers, deep storage, or open shelving

• Waterfall countertops or butcher block tops

• Built-in sinks, microwaves, or beverage coolers

• Smart outlets, USB ports, and hidden lighting

Even if your kitchen is compact, we can design a peninsula or mini-island to maximize space.

🚰 Fixtures & Appliances That Work Smarter

Older kitchens often include outdated appliances and inefficient plumbing fixtures. We help you modernize your space with stylish, high-performance options.

Upgrades include:

• Undermount, farmhouse, or integrated sinks

• Touchless or pull-down faucets

• Energy Star appliances in all major brands

• Gas-to-electric or induction conversions

• Ventilation solutions for safe, quiet air movement

We’ll ensure your kitchen isn’t just pretty — it’s smart, safe, and efficient.

🧠 Smart Kitchen Features for the Connected Home

Want to cook with a voice command? Or turn off the lights from your phone? We integrate smart tech into your remodel with practical solutions that enhance your daily life.

Smart kitchen options include:

• Wi-Fi–connected ovens, fridges, and dishwashers

• Voice-activated lighting and appliances

• Motion sensor faucets and garbage cans

• Touchscreen kitchen command centers

• Smart plugs and switches with scheduling and remote access

Our goal is to make your kitchen as intelligent as it is elegant.
