Design, Cabinets, Custom Builds & Remodeling on the Peninsula
Custom Kitchens & Cabinetry in Burlingame
Burlingame pairs the tree-lined character of the Easton Addition with the easy walkability of Burlingame Avenue. PineWood Cabinets brings full-service kitchen design, custom cabinetry, and remodeling to these homes, with craftsmanship rooted in Roseville and built for the Peninsula since 2006.
A Full-Service Cabinetry Studio for Burlingame Homes
Burlingame sits on the mid-Peninsula between San Francisco and Silicon Valley, a city defined as much by its eucalyptus-lined streets as by its train-stop downtown. The Easton Addition and Burlingame Park neighborhoods are known for their canopy of heritage trees and a remarkable concentration of period architecture: Tudor Revival, Spanish Colonial, English cottage, and Craftsman homes built largely in the 1910s through the 1930s. PineWood Cabinets works across all four of our core services here, custom kitchens, cabinets, design, and remodeling, so that whatever a Burlingame home asks for, the answer comes from one shop.
These are not interchangeable houses, and they do not take interchangeable kitchens. A 1925 Tudor on Cabrillo Avenue carries leaded glass, plaster archways, and original millwork that any new cabinetry must answer to. A few blocks away, a Spanish Colonial near Easton Drive wants warm woods, hand-finished hardware, and a softer line. Closer to downtown, the cottages and bungalows off Burlingame Avenue and Howard Avenue have compact footprints that reward clever planning far more than square footage. We design for each of these realities rather than applying a single template across the city.
Burlingame life also has a particular rhythm. The walkable corridor of Burlingame Avenue, with its independent shops and restaurants, and the Broadway district to the north, shape a town that values knowing its neighbors and entertaining at home. Caltrain runs the length of the city, putting many residents on a commuter schedule that makes a well-organized, low-friction kitchen genuinely valuable. Families near Washington Park and the schools of the Burlingame and Hillsborough districts want kitchens that survive weekday mornings and still host a weekend dinner with grace.
We have built for Peninsula homeowners since 2006, and our work in Burlingame draws on the same principles whether the project is a full remodel down to the studs or a single run of custom cabinets to replace a tired pantry. From our shop near Roseville, California, we fabricate to order and install on the Peninsula, and you can reach our team directly at +1-916-742-0030.
Designing With Burlingame's Architecture, Not Against It
The thing that makes Burlingame distinctive, its early-twentieth-century housing stock, is also what makes thoughtful cabinetry essential. Period homes were not designed around the modern kitchen, and the easy mistake is to gut the character to chase an open plan. Our approach starts from what is already there: the proportion of a window, the height of a plate rail, the profile of an existing baseboard. We design cabinetry that reads as if it belongs to the house, then engineer modern function quietly into it.
For the Tudor and English homes of the Easton Addition, that often means painted inset cabinetry, shaker or beaded doors, and hardware with some weight and history to it. For Spanish Colonial and Mediterranean houses near Easton Drive, we lean into warmer woods, hand-applied finishes, and arched or open elements that echo the home's lines. In the smaller cottages near Burlingame Avenue, the work is spatial: full-height storage, integrated appliances, and light-toned surfaces that make a compact room feel generous rather than cramped.
Across every style, we plan for how Burlingame actually lives, the commuter morning, the school-night dinner, the easy weekend gathering. That means durable surfaces, drawers organized for the way you really cook, and layouts that keep the busiest paths clear. The goal is a kitchen that feels original to the home and effortless in daily use.

Why Burlingame Homeowners Work With PineWood
A single team that understands the Peninsula's older housing stock and carries a project from first sketch to final install.
Built for Peninsula Homes
Period Experience: Burlingame's Tudors, bungalows, and Spanish Colonials each carry their own constraints. We have spent years detailing cabinetry that respects original architecture rather than erasing it.
Made to Measure: Older homes are rarely square or standard. Because we fabricate to order, our cabinetry fits the real walls of your house, not the nearest stock dimension.
One Point of Contact: Design, custom builds, cabinets, and remodeling all run through one shop, so there is no finger-pointing between a designer and a separate fabricator when something needs to be right.
A Considered Process
Design First: We resolve the layout, materials, and details on paper and in 3D before we cut a board, so you know exactly what your Burlingame kitchen will become.
Honest Materials: We choose woods, finishes, and hardware for how they wear and age, not for a trend that dates in a season.
Clean Installation: We coordinate with the other trades, protect your floors and finishes, and treat a lived-in Burlingame home with the care it deserves through every phase of the work.
From the heritage canopy of the Easton Addition to the walkable blocks off Burlingame Avenue, PineWood Cabinets is the studio Burlingame homeowners call when the kitchen needs to be done right.
