Premier Design-Build Firm Moraga
One point of accountability for your Moraga home renovation. Managing design, permits, and construction for high-value estate projects.
Our integrated design-build model is the gold standard for Moraga residents looking to execute major structural changes. Whether you are removing a load-bearing wall in a Rheem Valley ranch or expanding a master suite in Campolindo, having a single point of accountability is vital. We bridge the gap between architectural concept and structural reality, specializing in the engineering required to create the sprawling, airy floor plans that defined the 1960s Open Concept movement, now updated for 2026 luxury standards.
When Interior Designers and Builders Work as One Team
Design-build represents the evolution of kitchen and bathroom remodeling. Instead of hiring separate interior designers and general contractors who must learn to work together, you partner with one integrated team where design vision and construction expertise unite from day one.
Imagine your designer understanding exactly how that custom island will be built before drawing the first line. Picture your builder knowing every design detail before ordering the first material. This seamless collaboration means your vision translates perfectly into reality because the same team that dreams it, builds it.
At Palazzo Kitchens and Baths, our interior designers don’t just create beautiful plans, they work alongside our licensed craftsmen throughout your entire project. When design and construction expertise merge under one roof, something remarkable happens: your space transforms exactly as envisioned, on schedule, and often with creative solutions that separate teams would never discover.
Three Advantages You Won't Get From Separate Contractors
Construction-Ready Designs: Our designers understand building realities. Every plan considers structural requirements, plumbing constraints, and electrical needs. Unlike designers who create “pretty pictures,” we design with build-ability in mind, preventing costly surprises during construction.
In-House Expertise Across Every Trade: Our kitchen and bathroom remodeling team includes A licensed contractor, skilled carpenters, plumbers, and electricians who collaborate from day one. When the person designing your custom cabinetry works alongside the craftsman building it, details that matter to you don’t get lost in translation.
Streamlined Material Selection: Choose everything from Cambria countertops to cabinet hardware, in our fully-stocked Concord showroom while your designer guides every decision. No driving to multiple suppliers hoping your selections coordinate.
What to Expect When You Choose the Smarter Approach
Phase 1 – Discovery & Design: We start by understanding how you live in your space. Our NKBA-certified designers create plans that enhance your daily routines while reflecting your personal style. Every material selection happens in our showroom where you can see, touch, and coordinate all elements.
Phase 2 – Seamless Construction Transition: No hunting for contractors or hoping they understand the design. Your project transitions smoothly to our licensed construction team (B-General Build, C54-Tile & Stone, C15-Flooring) who helped develop the plans from the beginning.
Phase 3 – Collaborative Execution: Your designer remains involved throughout construction, ensuring every detail matches your vision. Our project manager provides regular updates while our in-house craftsmen focus on delivering exceptional results from our on-site stone fabrication to final installation.
Phase 4 – Quality Completion: We don’t consider your kitchen remodel or bathroom remodel finished until every detail meets our standards and exceeds your expectations.
Why Design-Build Often Delivers Better Value Than Traditional Remodeling
Eliminate Costly Change Orders: Modifications typically happen when general contractors encounter design elements they didn’t anticipate. Our team builds what they design, virtually eliminating expensive surprises that can derail your budget.
Faster Project Completion: Streamlined communication and coordination means your East Bay kitchen or bathroom project finishes faster, reducing labor costs and minimizing disruption to your daily life.
Long-Term Quality: When design vision and construction expertise work together from day one, you get spaces that enhance your home’s value and your daily enjoyment for years to come. Our Better Business Bureau A+ rating and consistent five-star reviews reflect this commitment to lasting satisfaction.
Transparent Investment Process: During your free consultation, we’ll discuss your vision, timeline, and budget to determine if our design-build approach aligns with your goals. No pressure, just honest guidance to help you make the best decision for your home.

The "Suburban Transformation"
Successful remodeling in Moraga often involves more than just aesthetics; it involves re-engineering the way a home functions. Many 1960s layouts are compartmentalized, which clashes with the modern Moraga lifestyle. Our design-build team handles the complex structural headers and seismic updates required to “open up” these traditional ranches safely. By keeping design and construction under one roof, we ensure that the technical submittals to Town of Moraga Planning are accurate and approved quickly, preventing the communication gaps that often occur when hiring separate firms.
