Roberts Electric was the electrical contractor on this Oakland project that won a REMMIE for the Regional and National Contractor of the Year Award by the San Francisco Chapter of NARI in the Kitchens over $150K category. The project also was selected for the 2017 Rockridge Kitchen Tour in September. RECO once again teamed with longtime trade partner, McCutcheon Construction, on this project. The owners of this 100-year-old craftsman wanted not just a new dream kitchen, but one that restored the home’s original character. It also needed to serve as a central gathering place for three generations of family. Like many kitchen remodels these days, the existing kitchen and dining area were small and cramped, with a low ceiling. The new design opened up the living area by removing dividing walls and raising the ceiling. A central island focuses the space toward the outdoors and the new stair landing. White walls and cabinets are the perfect backdrop for the bold color of the exposed brickwork and the dark blue china cabinet. RECO installed high-efficacy LED recessed lights, up lights and undercounter strips that help save energy. We adapted the existing circuiting and distribution as needed, including arc fault safety breakers and installed soft-glow, energy-efficient LED steplights on the deck, with complementary sconces and added security lighting.
