How It Works
1. Tell Us About Your Remodel
Send us your location, expected remodeling dates, and a few photos of the space where you would like your temporary kitchen installed. Let us know if you’re also interested in the refrigerator or portable sink add-ons.
2. Reserve Your Temporary Kitchen
Once we confirm your space and dates, we’ll send you a simple rental agreement.
A $250 reservation payment secures your installation date and is applied toward your first four weeks of rental.
3. Pay the Remaining Balance
Your remaining rental balance and a separate $250 refundable equipment security deposit will be automatically charged to your card 72 hours before installation.
Your temporary kitchen must be paid in full before delivery.
4. We Deliver and Set Everything Up
Your temporary kitchen arrives clean, organized, and ready to use. We assemble the work surfaces, place the appliances, and create a functional layout for your available space.
5. Extend or Schedule Pickup
If your remodel takes longer than expected—and they often do—you can extend your rental by the week, subject to availability.
Weekly extensions are charged automatically in advance using the payment method on file. Once your permanent kitchen is ready, we return and remove the entire setup.
After pickup and inspection, your equipment security deposit will be refunded, provided everything is returned clean and undamaged beyond ordinary wear.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the $250 reservation payment work?
The $250 reservation payment secures your installation date and is applied toward the cost of your first four-week rental. It is not an additional fee.
For example, if you select the $895 base package, you’ll pay $250 when reserving and the remaining $645 rental balance before installation.
When is the remaining balance due?
Your remaining rental balance will be automatically charged to your payment method 72 hours before installation. Any selected add-ons and the refundable equipment security deposit will be included at that time.
Is there a separate security deposit?
Yes. A $250 refundable equipment security deposit is collected with your final balance before delivery.
After pickup, we inspect the equipment and return the deposit within approximately three to five business days. Charges may be deducted for missing items, damage beyond ordinary wear, or excessive cleaning.
What is the cancellation policy?
Your reservation payment becomes nonrefundable once equipment has been ordered or your installation date is within seven days.
With at least seven days’ notice, you may transfer your reservation payment one time to another available installation date. The remaining rental balance becomes nonrefundable 72 hours before installation.
Complete cancellation terms will be included in your rental agreement.
Is there a minimum rental period?
Yes. The standard package includes the first four weeks. After the initial rental period, you can extend your rental one week at a time, subject to availability.
What if my remodel runs behind schedule?
That’s extremely common. Contact us as soon as you believe you’ll need additional time.

How much space do I need?
Most temporary kitchens require approximately six to ten feet of available wall space. We can often adjust the layout for smaller rooms.
A dining room, family room, spare room, garage, or other suitable area may work.
Is a refrigerator included?
A refrigerator is available as an optional add-on for customers who won’t have convenient access to another refrigerator during construction.
Does the portable sink require plumbing?
No. The optional sink station uses a refillable fresh-water container and a separate gray-water container.
You are responsible for refilling the fresh water and emptying the gray water as needed.
What electrical access is required?
You’ll need safe access to grounded household outlets. High-powered appliances may need to be operated separately or connected to different household circuits.
We’ll discuss your available outlets and placement before installation.
Is delivery included?
Standard delivery, professional setup, and pickup are included within our North County San Diego service area. An additional travel charge may apply outside the standard area.
Do you provide plates and other disposable products?
Food and everyday consumables are not included.
You provide items such as paper plates, bowls, cups, napkins, paper towels, soap, trash bags, and cleaning supplies.
How soon can you install it?
Most installations can be scheduled with approximately seven days’ notice, subject to availability.
We recommend reserving your temporary kitchen as soon as you know your construction start date.
Tell us when your project begins, where you’re located, and what you need. We’ll confirm availability and help determine whether your space is suitable.
Submitting this form does not obligate you to rent.
We’ll review your information and contact you to confirm availability, space requirements, and next steps.
