Hear from Our Customers
You deserve a kitchen that doesn’t fight you every morning when you’re trying to get coffee started and lunches packed. Most kitchens in Maple Heights-Lake Desire were built in the 1980s when families lived differently—smaller spaces, limited storage, and layouts that made no sense for how we actually cook and live today.
When we finish your kitchen remodeling project, you’ll have the storage you’ve been dreaming about, countertops that can handle your family’s real life, and a layout that lets you move efficiently whether you’re cooking for two or hosting twenty. Your kitchen becomes the space where your family naturally gathers instead of the room everyone avoids because it’s too cramped and outdated to be functional.
The best part? You’ll see your home value increase significantly in this market while getting to enjoy the space every single day.
We’ve been serving the Seattle area since 2023, and we’ve built our reputation on doing exactly what we say we’ll do. We’re licensed, bonded, and insured because we believe in standing behind our work completely.

First, we come to your home and actually listen to how you use your kitchen. Not what you think sounds good, but how you really cook, where you get stuck, and what drives you crazy about your current setup.
Then we create a plan that solves those specific problems within your budget. We handle all the permits, coordinate with inspectors, and manage every trade that needs to be involved. You get regular updates so you always know what’s happening and when.
During construction, we protect the rest of your home and clean up daily because we know you’re still living there. When we’re done, we walk through everything with you to make sure it’s exactly what you expected. Your kitchen remodeling project isn’t finished until you’re completely satisfied with how everything works.

Your kitchen renovation includes everything needed to transform your space: new cabinets designed for your specific storage needs, countertops that can handle daily use, updated electrical and plumbing to current codes, and flooring that ties everything together.
We work with the unique challenges of homes in Maple Heights-Lake Desire, where many properties were built in the early 1980s. This often means updating electrical panels, rerouting plumbing for better layouts, and working around structural elements that weren’t designed for modern kitchen configurations.
Local homeowners typically see significant increases in home value after kitchen remodeling, especially important in an area where median home values exceed $750,000. We help you make choices that improve both your daily life and your investment, understanding what buyers in this market actually want when they’re house hunting.
Kitchen remodeling costs in the Seattle area typically range from $50,000 to $150,000 depending on the size of your kitchen and the level of finishes you choose. Most homeowners in Maple Heights-Lake Desire invest between $75,000 and $120,000 for a complete kitchen renovation.
The final cost depends on whether you’re keeping your current layout or reconfiguring the space, the quality of materials you select, and what needs to be updated behind the walls. Homes built in the 1980s often need electrical and plumbing updates to meet current codes, which affects the total investment.
We provide detailed estimates that break down exactly where your money is going, so you can make informed decisions about where to invest and where to save without compromising the functionality you need.
Most kitchen remodeling projects take 6 to 10 weeks from start to finish, depending on the complexity of the work and whether we’re changing the layout. Simple cabinet and countertop updates might be completed in 4 to 6 weeks, while full renovations with layout changes typically take 8 to 12 weeks.
The timeline depends on factors like permit approval, custom cabinet manufacturing, and whether we discover issues like outdated wiring or plumbing that needs to be brought up to code. We always provide a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if anything changes.
During construction, we work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine. Many families set up a temporary kitchen in another part of the house, and we coordinate our work to make this as manageable as possible.
Yes, we handle all permit applications and inspections required for your kitchen renovation. Most kitchen remodels in Maple Heights-Lake Desire require permits for electrical, plumbing, and structural work, and we’re familiar with King County’s specific requirements.
We submit permit applications early in the process to avoid delays and coordinate all required inspections throughout the project. This includes electrical rough-in, plumbing rough-in, framing inspections if we’re removing walls, and final inspections before we consider the job complete.
Having permits for your kitchen remodeling work protects you when it’s time to sell your home and ensures everything is done safely and up to current building codes. We include permit costs in our estimates so there are no surprises.
We can work with your existing layout if it functions well for your family, but many kitchens in Maple Heights-Lake Desire benefit from layout improvements. Homes built in the 1980s often have kitchens that were designed when families used the space differently.
Common layout changes include removing a wall to create an open concept, relocating the island for better traffic flow, or reconfiguring the work triangle between sink, stove, and refrigerator. These changes can dramatically improve functionality without necessarily requiring a larger footprint.
We evaluate your current layout during our initial consultation and discuss options that make sense for your budget and goals. Sometimes simple changes like relocating the refrigerator or adding a peninsula can solve major functionality issues without the cost of moving plumbing and electrical throughout the room.
When we open up walls during kitchen remodeling, we sometimes discover issues like outdated electrical wiring, old plumbing that needs replacement, or structural concerns that weren’t visible initially. This is particularly common in homes built in the 1980s.
We stop work immediately to discuss any unexpected issues with you, explain what needs to be addressed, and provide cost estimates for the additional work. We never proceed with extra work without your approval, and we help you understand why the work is necessary for safety and code compliance.
While these discoveries can be frustrating, addressing them during your kitchen renovation is actually the most cost-effective time to handle these updates. We work with you to prioritize what must be done immediately versus what can be planned for future projects, helping you make decisions that fit your budget while keeping your family safe.
Yes, we provide comprehensive warranties on all our kitchen remodeling work because we stand behind our craftsmanship completely. Our warranty covers our installation work, and we also help you understand and register manufacturer warranties on appliances, cabinets, and other components.
We believe in being accountable for our work long after we’ve finished your project. If something isn’t working the way it should, we come back and make it right. This commitment to warranty service is part of building our reputation in the Seattle area.
Before we consider any kitchen renovation complete, we walk through everything with you to ensure it meets our standards and your expectations. We want you to be completely satisfied with how your kitchen functions and looks, and our warranty gives you peace of mind about your investment.
