Hear from Our Customers
You’ll stop avoiding your kitchen. The cramped layout that made cooking feel like an obstacle course becomes an open, efficient workspace where everything has its place.
Your mornings get easier when the coffee maker isn’t fighting for counter space with last night’s dishes. Storage that actually stores things means your counters stay clear for the work that matters.
The lighting finally reaches every corner, so you can see what you’re doing. And when friends come over, they’ll naturally gravitate toward the kitchen instead of squeezing awkwardly around that old island that blocked everything.
We focus exclusively on kitchens, bathrooms, and decks in the Seattle area. When you’re not trying to be everything to everyone, you get really good at what matters most.
We’re licensed, bonded, and insured—the basics you’d expect. What you might not expect is that we’ve been working in Phinney Ridge long enough to understand how these older homes work, what permits you’ll need, and which layouts actually function in real life.
We offer military and first responder discounts because we believe in supporting the people who serve our community.
We start with a consultation at your house because every Phinney Ridge kitchen is different. You show us what’s not working, we measure everything, and we talk through what you actually need versus what you think you want.
Then we design something that fits your space, your budget, and how you actually use your kitchen. No Pinterest fantasies that look great but don’t function. We handle all the permits because Seattle requires them for almost everything, even cabinet replacement.
During construction, we keep you updated on progress and timeline changes. We don’t disappear for weeks and show up with surprises. When we’re done, you get a kitchen that works the way you hoped it would from day one.

Your kitchen remodeling in Phinney Ridge, WA includes everything from design through final cleanup. We handle cabinet installation, countertop replacement, flooring, lighting, plumbing, and electrical work. Permits and inspections are part of the service because they’re required in Seattle.
Phinney Ridge homes often need creative solutions for older layouts and smaller spaces. We’ve worked on enough craftsman houses and mid-century splits to know which walls can move and which ones can’t. The goal is maximizing your space without structural headaches.
Materials matter in Seattle’s climate. We use moisture-resistant options and energy-efficient appliances that actually save on utility bills. Quality hardware that won’t fail in two years. Finishes that look good now and still look good when you’re ready to sell.
Kitchen remodeling in Phinney Ridge, WA typically runs $25,000 to $75,000 depending on the scope of work. Basic updates with new cabinets, countertops, and appliances start around $25,000. Full remodels with layout changes, high-end materials, and premium appliances can reach $75,000 or more.
Seattle costs run higher than national averages due to labor rates, permit fees, and material costs. But the return on investment is also higher—well-executed kitchen remodels typically return 70-80% of the investment in increased home value, sometimes more in desirable neighborhoods like Phinney Ridge.
We provide detailed estimates after seeing your specific space because every kitchen is different. Factors like existing plumbing location, electrical capacity, and whether walls need to move all affect the final cost.
Yes, most kitchen remodeling projects in Phinney Ridge require permits from the City of Seattle. Even cabinet replacement often requires permits, and any electrical or plumbing work definitely does. Moving walls, adding outlets, or relocating appliances all trigger permit requirements.
We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service. This isn’t just about following rules—unpermitted work can create problems when you sell your home, and it doesn’t guarantee the work meets current safety codes.
Seattle’s permitting process can add 2-4 weeks to your timeline, but it’s not optional. We build permit time into our project schedules so you’re not surprised by delays.
Most kitchen remodeling projects in Phinney Ridge take 3-5 months from start to finish, including permit approval time. Basic remodels with no layout changes might finish in 6-8 weeks. Complex remodels involving structural changes, custom cabinetry, or major electrical work can take 4-6 months.
Seattle’s permitting process adds time upfront, and material lead times can affect scheduling. Custom cabinets typically take 6-8 weeks to manufacture. Popular countertop materials like quartz might have 2-4 week lead times during busy seasons.
We provide realistic timelines in our contracts and keep you updated on any changes. Weather, permit delays, and material availability can all affect scheduling, but we communicate these issues as they come up rather than leaving you guessing.
Most Phinney Ridge homes have smaller, compartmentalized kitchens that benefit from opening up to adjacent spaces when possible. Removing a wall between kitchen and dining room creates an open concept feel and makes both spaces seem larger.
The work triangle—sink, stove, and refrigerator positioned for efficient workflow—becomes even more important in smaller spaces. We often recommend galley layouts or L-shaped designs that maximize counter space while maintaining clear pathways.
Islands work in some Phinney Ridge kitchens but not all. We evaluate your specific space to determine whether an island improves function or just creates obstacles. Sometimes a peninsula or extended counter provides extra workspace without blocking traffic flow.
Most homeowners find it easier to stay elsewhere during major kitchen remodeling, especially if you’re changing plumbing or electrical systems. You’ll be without a functional kitchen for several weeks, which means no cooking, limited food storage, and construction dust throughout the house.
If staying elsewhere isn’t possible, we can work with you to set up a temporary kitchen in another room. This usually involves moving your refrigerator and setting up a microwave and hot plate. It’s not ideal, but it’s manageable for shorter projects.
We always discuss living arrangements during planning because it affects our work schedule. If you’re staying in the house, we adjust our hours and dust control measures accordingly. The goal is minimizing disruption to your daily routine while getting the work done efficiently.
Phinney Ridge homeowners increasingly choose sustainable materials and energy-efficient appliances that align with Seattle’s environmental values. Quartz countertops, LED lighting, and Energy Star appliances are popular choices that also provide long-term cost savings.
Open shelving and two-tone cabinets work well in many Phinney Ridge homes, especially those with good natural light. But we recommend balancing trendy elements with timeless choices for major components like cabinet style and flooring.
Smart storage solutions are essential in smaller Phinney Ridge kitchens. Pull-out drawers, corner cabinet organizers, and vertical storage help maximize every square foot. The goal is creating a kitchen that looks current but won’t feel dated in five years.
