Custom Kitchens & Cabinetry in Petaluma

Petaluma sits at the southern edge of Sonoma County, where the Petaluma River bends through the marshlands toward San Pablo Bay and the egg-and-dairy ranches of the surrounding hills give the place its enduring nickname, the "Egg Basket of the World." Spared the 1906 earthquake fires that leveled so much of the region, downtown Petaluma kept one of the most complete collections of Victorian and iron-front commercial buildings on the West Coast. Walk along Petaluma Boulevard, Kentucky Street, or Western Avenue and you pass facades that have looked essentially the same for well over a century. PineWood Cabinets builds custom kitchens for the homes that surround this remarkable downtown.

The residential fabric here is just as distinctive as the commercial core. The leafy blocks of the A Street and D Street districts hold Queen Anne Victorians, Italianate cottages, and Craftsman bungalows on deep, narrow lots, many of them designated historic and shaped by the original turn-of-the-century footprints. Across the river to the east, neighborhoods around McDowell, the Petaluma Valley, and the newer developments off Sonoma Mountain Parkway offer open-plan homes with the square footage and flexibility that downtown's older houses rarely allow. Each side of town asks something different of a kitchen, and we design accordingly.

Petaluma also has a food culture that runs deeper than its small-town scale suggests. The Saturday farmers market, the dairies and creameries of the surrounding ranchland, the breweries along the boulevard, and a growing roster of restaurants in the historic theatre district have all raised expectations for the home kitchen. Our Petaluma clients tend to be serious about provisioning and preserving, hosting and entertaining, and they want cabinetry built to support those habits rather than just photograph well.
