Design, Cabinets and Remodeling for the Mid-Peninsula
Custom Kitchens & Cabinetry in Redwood City
Redwood City sits at the geographic and civic center of the Peninsula, where Spanish-tile bungalows, postwar ranches, and bayfront moderns all share the same climate-best motto. PineWood Cabinets brings custom design, cabinetry, and full kitchen remodeling to homes from Mt. Carmel to Redwood Shores.

A Full-Service Cabinetry Studio for Redwood City Homes
Redwood City is the county seat of San Mateo County and one of the oldest incorporated cities on the Peninsula, with a downtown that has been remade around Courthouse Square, the historic San Mateo County History Museum, and a stretch of Broadway lined with restaurants and theaters. Its “Climate Best by Government Test” arch still spans the street as a reminder of the city’s self-confidence. Since 2006, PineWood Cabinets has worked across this city’s full range of homes, treating each kitchen as a complete project rather than a catalog order.
The housing here is genuinely varied, and that variety drives our work. The Mt. Carmel neighborhood west of El Camino Real is known for its 1920s Spanish Revival and Tudor bungalows on tree-lined streets near Sequoia High School. To the southwest, Emerald Hills climbs into the oak-studded slopes above Edgewood Park with larger custom homes and hillside lots. Out on the bay side, Redwood Shores wraps a planned community of lagoon-front houses around Marine World’s former site and the modern campuses of Oracle and Electronic Arts. Each of these settings asks something different of a kitchen.
We design and build for all of them. A Mt. Carmel bungalow may need cabinetry that respects original arched doorways and plaster walls while quietly adding the storage a modern household expects. An Emerald Hills home, perched on a slope with views toward the bay, often wants an open plan with islands and integrated appliances that keep sightlines clear. A Redwood Shores house, built tighter and newer, benefits from precise space planning that makes the most of a compact footprint near the water.
Because Redwood City sits midway between San Francisco and San Jose, just off Highway 101 and El Camino Real and minutes from the Caltrans corridor and the Dumbarton approach, it draws homeowners who work across the entire Bay Area and want a single firm to handle design, custom cabinets, and the remodel itself. That is exactly the scope we cover, from the first measured drawing to the final installed door.
Built for the Way Redwood City Actually Lives
Redwood City is not a single architectural style, and we have never believed in imposing one. The downtown core has been rebuilt around mid-rise residences and the renewed Courthouse Square, the older neighborhoods like Mt. Carmel and Centennial hold a century of bungalows and cottages, and the hillside and bayfront edges run from custom contemporary to lagoon moderns. Our job is to read the home in front of us and build cabinetry that belongs to it, not to a trend.
That means matching the proportions and detail language of the house. In older homes near Sequoia and Roosevelt, we use inset doors, beaded face frames, and warm hardwoods that sit comfortably beside original millwork. In the open contemporary homes of Emerald Hills and the newer construction of Redwood Shores, we lean into flat-panel doors, full-height storage, and integrated appliance fronts that keep a clean horizon. The mild, even Peninsula climate is forgiving on finishes, which lets us work with a broad palette of woods, painted surfaces, and natural stone.
Above all, these are working kitchens for families and professionals who cook, host, and live at full speed. We plan storage around how each household really uses the room, organize prep and cleanup zones for efficiency, and build everything to last through years of daily use. A PineWood kitchen in Redwood City is meant to look right the day it is installed and the decade after.

Why Redwood City Homeowners Work With PineWood
A single studio handling design, fabrication, and installation means fewer handoffs, clearer accountability, and a kitchen that comes together as one coherent project.
Peninsula Fluency
Mixed Housing Stock: We move comfortably between a 1920s Mt. Carmel bungalow and a contemporary Redwood Shores home, adapting our cabinetry language to each.
Smart Footprints: Peninsula lots are not endless. We plan storage and circulation to get the most out of every kitchen, large or small.
Central Location: Redwood City’s spot midway down the Peninsula along Highway 101 and El Camino keeps our project visits and installs efficient.
Craft and Accountability
End to End: Design, custom cabinets, and remodeling all run through PineWood, so nothing falls between vendors.
Material Integrity: We select hardwoods, painted finishes, and stone for durability and character, then build to last.
Built Since 2006: Years of work across the Peninsula inform every layout, joint, and hardware choice we make.

Styles That Suit Redwood City Homes
Redwood City's housing spans more than a century, and the cabinetry that belongs in a 1920s Mount Carmel bungalow is not the cabinetry that suits a hillside Emerald Hills view home or a newer house in Redwood Shores. We work across that range: warm stained hardwoods and inset, face-frame doors for the craftsman and bungalow homes near Sequoia High, and clean-lined painted Shaker and flat-panel fronts for the open and transitional remodels homeowners ask for today.
In the Emerald Hills view homes, the goal is often an open plan with islands and integrated appliances that keeps sightlines toward the bay clear. Out on the Redwood Shores waterfront, the homes are built tighter and newer, so precise space planning and full-height storage walls make the most of a compact footprint near the lagoons. Because every cabinet is built to order, the species, door profile, finish, and hardware all stay your choices.

Redwood City Kitchen & Cabinetry FAQs
Common questions from Redwood City homeowners planning a custom kitchen or cabinetry project.
Which Redwood City neighborhoods do you serve?
We work throughout Redwood City, from the period bungalows of Mount Carmel, Centennial, and Roosevelt near downtown to the hillside homes of Emerald Hills and Farm Hill above Edgewood Park, the mid-century streets of Friendly Acres and Stambaugh-Heller, and the planned lagoon-front houses of Redwood Shores. We design and build for the full range of homes across the Mid-Peninsula.
Are you licensed to do kitchen and cabinetry work in California?
Yes. PineWood Cabinets is a licensed California contractor (CSLB License #1095293) operating as a division of Voronenko & Ethen Associates, and we have designed, built, and installed custom cabinetry since 2006.
Do you handle design, building, and installation, or just one part?
All of it. We are a full-service design-build cabinetry studio, so the same team that measures your Redwood City kitchen designs it, builds the cabinetry, and installs it. You are not handed off between a designer, a separate cabinet vendor, and an installer.
Can you work with both older bungalows and newer bayfront homes?
Yes. The Mount Carmel and Centennial bungalows often call for inset, face-frame cabinetry that respects original arches and plaster, while Emerald Hills view homes and the newer Redwood Shores houses near the water tend toward open, clean-lined layouts with integrated appliances. We adapt the cabinetry language to the home in front of us rather than imposing a single style.
What range of styles can you build for a Redwood City kitchen?
Because every cabinet is built to order, the choices stay yours. We work in warm stained hardwoods and inset doors for traditional homes, painted Shaker and flat-panel fronts for transitional and contemporary spaces, and mixed-material islands and full-height storage walls for open and waterfront floor plans. The species, door profile, finish, and hardware are all selected for your home.
How long does a custom kitchen take from first design to installation?
It varies with scope, but a custom kitchen is a multi-month process, because the cabinetry is built specifically for your room rather than pulled from stock. We give you a realistic timeline at the start of the project, after we have measured the space and agreed on the design.
