Kitchen Remodeling in Seattle & Tacoma
We build full kitchen remodels across Seattle, Tacoma, and Bellevue — cabinetry, countertops, lighting, and appliance integration on a fixed written scope. Most Seattle-area kitchen remodels run $40,000-$100,000+ and take 6-12 weeks on site.
Where the money actually goes
Cabinetry is the single largest line in nearly every kitchen we build, followed by countertops and then labor for anything that moves. Keeping the sink and range where they are keeps the number in the lower half of the range; relocating plumbing or gas, opening a wall, or reworking the panel moves it up. We show you which decision costs what before you commit, so the budget is a set of choices instead of a surprise.
Older Puget Sound houses, honest scoping
Much of the region's housing stock predates modern kitchen electrical loads. When we open walls in a 1920s Ballard bungalow or a 1960s Tacoma rambler, we regularly find undersized circuits, no dedicated appliance runs, or plumbing that will not pass inspection as-is. We look for that during the assessment and price it in writing rather than discovering it mid-project and issuing a change order.
A layout built around how you actually cook
Before cabinets are ordered we walk the work triangle with you: where groceries land, where prep happens, where the trash goes, whether two people cook at once. Small moves — a wider aisle, a deeper prep run, drawers instead of base doors — decide whether the kitchen feels right for the next fifteen years. That planning happens on paper, where changes are free.
