Modern Kitchen & Open-Riser Staircase Remodel | San Mateo

Bay Remodels transformed key areas of this San Mateo home with a contemporary kitchen remodel and a custom open-riser staircase. The project combines warm natural wood, frameless glass, dark accents, light surfaces, and clean architectural lines to create a bright and cohesive modern interior.

The custom staircase features open wood risers, a frameless glass railing system, stainless steel mounting hardware, and a wall-mounted wood handrail. Its transparent design preserves natural light and visual openness between levels.

The remodeled kitchen centers on a large waterfall island with seating for three. Mixed dark and natural-wood cabinetry, full-height storage, a black faucet, stainless steel cooking appliances, slim pendant lighting, and light-toned hardwood flooring give the space a warm contemporary character.
