Kitchen Remodeling for Seattle & the Eastside

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Most kitchen remodels take between 8 to 14 weeks from the start of construction. This includes demolition, installation, inspections, and finishing work. The timeline can vary depending on the complexity of the renovation and availability of materials. We provide a detailed project schedule before we begin so you always know what to expect.

Our team handles all permitting and coordination with city departments to ensure your renovation is safe, compliant, and hassle-free.

Kitchen remodeling refers to a full update that may include changing the layout, upgrading finishes, replacing cabinets, and installing new appliances. Cabinet refacing is a more limited renovation that keeps the cabinet boxes in place while replacing doors and drawer fronts. We will help you decide which option makes the most sense for your kitchen and budget.

When planning your layout, think about how you use your kitchen daily. Consider the flow between appliances, storage needs, how you cook and entertain, and whether you need more prep space or seating. Our design team helps you create a layout that enhances functionality while complementing your home’s style.
