Your kitchen should work for how you live now, not how families lived in the 90s. Most Seattle-area homes have kitchens designed decades ago when families used these spaces completely differently.
A proper kitchen renovation gives you the storage you need, the flow that makes sense, and the style that fits your life. You get countertops that can handle real cooking, cabinets that actually close properly, and lighting that lets you see what you’re doing.
The result? You stop avoiding your kitchen and start using it the way it was meant to be used. Every meal becomes easier. Every gathering feels more natural. Your home finally works the way you need it to.
We focus exclusively on kitchens, bathrooms, and decks in the Seattle area because that’s where homeowners see the biggest impact. When you’re not trying to be everything to everyone, you get really good at what matters most.
We’re fully licensed, bonded, and insured with verifiable credentials you can check. Military and first responder discounts are available because we believe in supporting those who serve the community.
Every project comes with comprehensive warranties because we stand behind our work. No disappearing acts, no abandoned jobs—just reliable contractors who finish what we start.
First, we evaluate your current kitchen layout, storage needs, and how you actually use the space. No cookie-cutter solutions—we look at your cooking habits and daily routines before suggesting changes.
Next comes detailed planning with material selection and timeline development. You’ll know exactly what’s happening when, with permit applications handled for you and approval times factored into the schedule.
During construction, you get regular updates and transparent communication about progress. Any potential issues get discussed before they become problems. The goal is completing your kitchen remodel on time without surprises that blow up your budget.
Ready to get started?
Every kitchen renovation includes comprehensive design consultation, material selection guidance, and project management from start to finish. You’re not left figuring out permits, inspections, or coordinating different trades.
Seattle-area homes often need electrical or plumbing updates during kitchen remodels, especially in houses built in the 80s and 90s. These homes typically have kitchens designed before open-concept layouts became standard, creating unique challenges that require experienced contractors.
Current trends in the region include smart appliance integration, sustainable materials, and bold cabinet colors replacing the all-white kitchens of the past decade. Your renovation can incorporate these modern elements while respecting your home’s existing architecture and your personal style preferences.
Most complete kitchen renovations take 3-6 weeks depending on the scope of work. Simple cabinet and countertop updates might finish in 2-3 weeks, while full renovations involving layout changes, electrical, and plumbing typically take 4-6 weeks.
The timeline includes design consultation, permit approval, and construction phases. Initial planning and material selection usually take 2-3 weeks before construction begins. Weather rarely affects indoor kitchen work, but permit approval times can vary.
We provide detailed timelines during planning so you know exactly what to expect. We factor permit approval time into your project schedule and handle all applications to avoid delays and surprises.
Kitchen renovation costs in the Seattle area typically range from $25,000 for basic updates to $75,000+ for complete high-end remodels. The biggest factors are cabinet quality, countertop materials, appliance choices, and whether you’re changing the layout.
Seattle-area projects often cost about 15% more than many other cities due to higher local labor rates and stricter permit requirements. Material costs have also increased due to supply chain challenges and high demand for quality finishes.
The investment makes sense because kitchen remodels consistently offer strong returns—industry experts note returns of 70-80% of the cost when selling your home. Even if you’re not selling soon, you get immediate benefits from improved functionality and daily comfort.
Most kitchen remodeling projects require permits, especially if you’re changing electrical, plumbing, or structural elements. Seattle and surrounding areas often require more inspections and higher permitting fees compared to other markets.
Permit requirements depend on the scope of work. Simple cosmetic updates like painting and hardware changes typically don’t need permits, but cabinet installation, countertop replacement, and layout changes usually do.
We handle all permit applications and factor approval time into your project timeline. We know local building codes and inspection requirements, so you don’t have to navigate the bureaucracy yourself or worry about compliance issues.
Current trends include smart appliance integration, sustainable materials, and bold cabinet colors replacing the all-white kitchens of the past decade. Biophilic design elements like stone countertops and natural wood accents are also popular.
Technology integration is big—touchless faucets, voice-activated lighting, and smart appliances that connect to apps. Many homeowners want kitchen islands that serve multiple functions, from food prep to dining areas and homework stations.
Sustainability matters too. Eco-friendly materials like recycled countertops, energy-efficient appliances, and low-VOC paints are becoming standard requests. These choices reduce long-term costs while creating healthier indoor environments for your family.
We focus exclusively on kitchens, bathrooms, and decks because specialization leads to better results. We’re not trying to be everything to everyone—we’re really good at the projects that matter most to homeowners.
We’re fully licensed, bonded, and insured with comprehensive warranties on all work. Military and first responder discounts are available, and we offer transparent communication throughout the entire process with no disappearing acts or abandoned jobs.
Every project includes detailed consultation, material selection guidance, and complete project management. We understand Seattle-area homes and building requirements, handling permits and inspections so you can focus on enjoying your new kitchen instead of managing contractors.
Many kitchen remodels work perfectly within existing layouts, especially when the goal is updating outdated finishes and improving functionality. You can achieve dramatic improvements with new cabinets, countertops, appliances, and lighting without moving walls or plumbing.
However, some Seattle-area homes from the 80s and 90s have kitchens designed for different family usage patterns. These spaces often benefit from layout modifications to create better flow and more useful storage solutions.
We evaluate your current space and how you actually use your kitchen before recommending changes. Sometimes minor adjustments make huge differences. Other times, more significant modifications create the functional space you need. The approach depends on your specific situation, budget, and goals.
