Brands we service in San Diego

Sub-Zero refrigeration with Wolf cooking is the pairing that turns up most, and it arrives as a pair because that is how it was specified in the first place. Thermador tends to come as a whole suite, the ovens, the cooktop and the columns chosen together, which is why a Thermador call frequently ends with two appliances looked at rather than one. Viking shows up in kitchens remodeled a generation ago and, more and more, out in the backyard, where the grill and the outdoor refrigeration were bought at the same time as the island they sit in. Cove is the newest name in these kitchens and it is always the dishwasher.

Where you are in the county changes what is behind the panels. Downtown and the coastal buildings run compact: an integrated column, undercounter drawers, a beverage center, because the kitchen has a footprint rather than a floor plan. Coronado, Point Loma, La Jolla, Del Mar and Encinitas carry more small refrigeration per house than anywhere else, since a bar run, a wine cabinet and an outdoor ice maker are standard rather than optional. Out in Rancho Santa Fe, Fallbrook, Bonsall, Valley Center and Pala the count rises again and spreads out: a second refrigerator in a garage, a freezer in a utility room, an outdoor kitchen a long way from the back door.
