Hear from Our Customers
You know the one. The kitchen where cabinet doors stick, counter space disappears the moment you start cooking, and the layout makes even simple meal prep feel like an obstacle course.
Here’s what changes when we’re done. You walk into a kitchen that actually works with your routine, not against it. Counter space that handles your busiest mornings. Storage that makes sense. An island where your family naturally gathers instead of crowding around a cramped peninsula.
Your home’s value jumps significantly—kitchen remodels consistently deliver some of the highest returns on investment in Cottage Lake’s competitive market. But more than that, you get a space that finally matches how you live.
We focus exclusively on kitchens, bathrooms, and decks 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 licensed, bonded, and insured—the basics that shouldn’t be basics. Started in 2023, we’re building our reputation one project at a time across the Seattle metro area. Our ideal clients are typically 40-50+ years old, homeowners who have the means to invest in their space and want it done right the first time.
We offer military and first responder discounts because we believe in supporting those who serve our community. When we commit to your project, we’re committed to being liable for our work and ensuring you’re satisfied with the results.
We start with a consultation at your Cottage Lake home to understand what’s not working and what you envision. No generic solutions—every kitchen remodel is tailored to your specific needs, budget, and timeline.
Next comes the planning phase. We handle permits, coordinate with suppliers, and create a detailed timeline so you know exactly what to expect. This typically takes 2-3 weeks and prevents the delays that plague most remodeling projects.
During construction, we manage every aspect of the work. Our team arrives when scheduled, communicates daily progress, and maintains a clean work environment. Most kitchen remodels in Cottage Lake take 6-8 weeks from start to finish, though complex projects involving structural changes may extend longer. We coordinate all trades—plumbing, electrical, flooring, cabinetry—so you deal with one point of contact throughout the entire process.

Every kitchen remodeling project in Cottage Lake includes comprehensive design consultation, permit handling, and full project management. We work with quality materials that make sense for Seattle’s climate—moisture-resistant flooring, quartz countertops that handle daily use, and energy-efficient appliances that reduce utility costs.
Cabinet installation ranges from stock options for budget-conscious homeowners to custom designs for those wanting something unique. We handle countertop fabrication and installation, backsplash work, flooring installation, and all electrical and plumbing modifications needed for your new layout.
Cottage Lake’s housing stock includes many homes built in the 1980s and earlier, which often means updating electrical systems, improving ventilation, and ensuring everything meets current building codes. We address these issues proactively rather than discovering them mid-project. Our work includes proper disposal of old materials and thorough cleanup, so your home is ready to enjoy immediately upon completion.
Kitchen remodeling costs in Cottage Lake typically range from $50,000 to $120,000, depending on the scope of work and materials selected. A standard kitchen renovation with mid-range materials—including new cabinets, quartz countertops, appliances, and flooring—usually falls between $70,000 and $90,000.
Costs vary based on your kitchen’s size, the complexity of layout changes, and finish selections. Seattle area pricing tends to run higher than national averages due to local labor rates, permit fees, and demand for quality materials. We provide detailed, transparent estimates so you understand exactly where your investment goes before any work begins.
Most kitchen remodels in Cottage Lake take 6-8 weeks from demolition to completion. This timeline assumes standard renovations without major structural changes or custom millwork that requires extended fabrication time.
The process breaks down into phases: demolition (3-5 days), rough plumbing and electrical work (1 week), drywall and painting (1 week), flooring installation (3-5 days), cabinet installation (1 week), countertop templating and installation (1 week), and final details like backsplash and fixtures (3-5 days). We build buffer time into schedules because older Cottage Lake homes sometimes reveal surprises that need addressing.
Yes, most kitchen remodels in Cottage Lake require permits, especially if you’re moving plumbing, electrical, or making structural changes. Even projects that seem straightforward—like replacing cabinets and countertops—often involve electrical work for new outlets or lighting that requires permits.
We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service. King County has specific requirements for kitchen renovations, and permits ensure your remodel meets current building codes and safety standards. This protects your investment and prevents issues when you eventually sell your home. The permit process typically takes 2-3 weeks and costs between $2,500-$6,000 depending on project scope.
We can absolutely work with your existing layout if it functions well for your needs. Many Cottage Lake kitchen remodels focus on updating finishes, appliances, and storage while keeping plumbing and major elements in place. This approach typically costs less and reduces construction time.
However, if your current layout creates bottlenecks or wastes space, we’ll show you options for improvement. Common changes include removing walls to create open concepts, adding islands for more prep space and storage, or reconfiguring the work triangle between sink, stove, and refrigerator. We evaluate what’s working and what isn’t during our initial consultation, then provide options that fit your budget and goals.
Cottage Lake homeowners typically gravitate toward timeless designs that complement the area’s mix of established and newer homes. Neutral color palettes—soft grays, whites, and natural wood finishes—remain popular because they appeal to a broad range of tastes and enhance resale value.
Open-concept layouts that connect kitchens to living areas work well in Cottage Lake’s family-oriented community. Kitchen islands with seating provide casual dining space and homework areas for families. Energy-efficient appliances and sustainable materials appeal to environmentally conscious residents while reducing utility costs. We recommend avoiding overly trendy elements that may look dated in a few years, focusing instead on quality materials and functional layouts that serve your family long-term.
The choice between custom and stock cabinets depends on your budget, timeline, and specific needs. Stock cabinets cost significantly less—typically 30-50% savings—and arrive faster, usually within 2-4 weeks. They work well for standard kitchen layouts and offer good quality in popular styles and finishes.
Custom cabinets make sense when you have unusual dimensions, specific storage needs, or want unique design elements. They’re built to fit your exact space and can incorporate specialized features like pull-out spice racks, appliance garages, or custom pantry organization. Custom work takes 6-10 weeks for fabrication and costs more, but provides exactly what you envision. We help you evaluate which approach delivers the best value for your specific situation and budget.
