Your kitchen should work with you, not against you. When you can prep dinner without playing cabinet Tetris, when everything has a place and you can find it, when the lighting actually lets you see what you’re doing—that’s when a kitchen renovation pays off.
You’re not just getting new cabinets and countertops. You’re getting back the time you used to waste working around a poorly designed space. You’re getting a kitchen that makes daily cooking easier, not harder.
The right renovation eliminates those daily frustrations that make you avoid your own kitchen. No more cramped corners, no more hunting for storage space, no more working in shadows because the lighting was an afterthought.
Kitchens, bathrooms, and decks. That’s it. While other contractors spread themselves thin across every type of project, we’ve chosen to focus on the three areas where homeowners see the biggest impact on their daily lives.
Since 2023, we’ve been serving homeowners across south Seattle with the kind of reliability that turns skeptical first-time clients into repeat customers. We’re licensed, bonded, and insured—not because we have to be, but because that’s how serious contractors operate.
When you’re not trying to be everything to everyone, you get really good at what matters most. We understand south Seattle homes, from the Craftsman bungalows to the mid-century splits, and we know how to make kitchens work better in the spaces we have.
First, we listen. What’s not working in your current kitchen? What do you actually need versus what you think you want? We’ve seen too many beautiful kitchens that nobody can actually use.
Then we plan. Every detail gets figured out before we touch a single cabinet. Materials, timeline, permits—everything mapped out so you know exactly what to expect. We handle the Seattle permit process because that’s our job, not yours.
During construction, we keep you informed without overwhelming you with every minor detail. You’ll know when we’re starting each phase and when we’ll be done. Most of our kitchen remodels wrap up in 4-6 weeks, depending on the scope.
The goal is simple: you should love your new kitchen more every day you use it, not less.
Ready to get started?
Every kitchen renovation includes full design consultation, all necessary permits, quality materials that can handle Seattle’s climate, and installation by licensed professionals. We don’t subcontract the important stuff.
You get cabinets that close properly, countertops that can handle daily use, and lighting that actually illuminates your work areas. Sounds basic, but you’d be surprised how many contractors miss these fundamentals.
For south Seattle homeowners, we understand the unique challenges of working with older home layouts and the importance of materials that can handle our humidity. We source moisture-resistant options and energy-efficient appliances that cut your utility costs while improving functionality.
Military and first responder families get special pricing—call us for details. We also provide solid warranties because we stand behind our work, and our goal is building long-term relationships, not quick one-time jobs.
Most of our south Seattle kitchen renovations run between $30,000 and $80,000, depending on size and materials. Cabinets and countertops typically take the biggest chunk of your budget.
Seattle projects tend to cost about 15% more than other cities due to higher labor rates and stricter permit requirements, but that also means you’re getting higher quality work and proper compliance with local codes. We provide detailed estimates upfront so there are no surprises, and we handle all the permit paperwork as part of our service.
The investment makes sense when you consider that kitchen remodels in Seattle typically recoup 60-80% of their cost in home value, plus you get years of improved daily functionality.
Most kitchen remodels take 4-6 weeks from start to finish, though larger projects or those requiring structural changes can take longer. We’ve completed some smaller renovations in just a few days when the scope allows.
The timeline depends on your specific project scope, material availability, and any unexpected issues we discover once we open things up. Older south Seattle homes sometimes reveal surprises like outdated electrical or plumbing that needs updating.
We provide a realistic timeline during planning and keep you informed if anything changes. Our goal is to minimize disruption to your daily routine while ensuring the work is done right the first time.
The biggest trends we’re seeing in south Seattle are sustainable materials, smart storage solutions, and designs that connect to our outdoor lifestyle. Think reclaimed wood from Pacific Northwest sources, energy-efficient appliances, and large islands that work for both food prep and casual dining.
Dark cabinet colors are replacing the all-white kitchens, and homeowners want materials that can handle our climate—quartz countertops, moisture-resistant flooring, and proper ventilation systems. Smart technology integration is popular, but we focus on features that actually improve daily function, not just gadgets.
The key is balancing current trends with timeless functionality. Your kitchen should feel current without looking dated in five years.
Yes, most kitchen remodels in Seattle require permits, especially if you’re moving plumbing, electrical, or gas lines, or if you’re doing any structural work. Even cabinet replacement often requires permits depending on the scope.
We handle all the permit applications and inspections as part of our service because we know the Seattle Department of Construction and Inspections requirements. The permit process can take 2-3 weeks, so we factor that into your project timeline.
Skipping permits might seem like a way to save money, but it can create major problems when you sell your home or file insurance claims. We do everything by the book so you never have to worry about compliance issues down the road.
We only do kitchens, bathrooms, and decks. While other contractors try to handle every type of project, we’ve chosen to specialize in the three areas where homeowners see the biggest impact on their daily lives and home value.
This focus means we understand the specific challenges of south Seattle homes, from working with older layouts to selecting materials that handle our climate. We’re not learning on your project—we’ve solved these problems before.
We’re also locally owned, licensed, bonded, and insured, with a track record of completing projects on time and on budget. Our customers consistently mention our communication, attention to detail, and the fact that we finish when we say we will.
Many kitchen improvements can be done without major layout changes, which keeps costs down and reduces construction time. Sometimes the issue isn’t the layout—it’s inadequate storage, poor lighting, or materials that are hard to maintain.
However, if your current layout creates daily frustration or safety issues, changing it might be worth the investment. We can often improve workflow by relocating just one or two elements rather than gutting everything.
During our consultation, we’ll assess what’s working and what isn’t in your current space. Sometimes a few strategic changes make a bigger difference than a complete overhaul, and we’ll give you honest advice about where your money will have the most impact.
