Seattle Kitchen Remodeling Services

If you only replace the appliances, fixtures, and finishes, a kitchen remodel may take two to three weeks. However, if you’re changing the kitchen layout, your project will involve installing new plumbing, electrical, and gas services. In this case, the renovation could take three to five months.

For an in-depth look into the remodeling process read the article, "What Does a Typical Timeline Look Like for a Home Renovation?" 

Kitchen remodels are unique because they require significant coordination between electricians, plumbers, carpenters, and other subcontractors. For instance, the sink installer must wait for the countertops to go in, and the countertops can’t be done until the cabinets are installed. That’s why it's important to work with a professional kitchen remodeler with dedicated project management who can coordinate everything effectively and keep the project on time and within budget.

Asking about the cost of a home remodel in Seattle is like asking about the price of a red car. Just as a car’s price depends on its make, model, and features, the cost of your remodel will vary based on your goals, design preferences, and how the project is executed.

However, we can provide clarity on the key factors that influence your project’s cost and guidance to ensure your contractor delivers a comprehensive, upfront estimate—one that’s designed to see the project through to completion, not just to win your business.

The answer to this will depend on the extent of your renovation. If you’re making relatively minor changes, you can work around them. However, in most cases, your kitchen will be out of commission for at least a few weeks.

Rather than eating out every night, you can save money by setting up a temporary kitchen in another room with a sink, such as a garage, basement, or utility room. Set up folding tables for small appliances and use them as work surfaces. During your kitchen remodel, use an outdoor grill to prepare meals. Otherwise, a camping stove is a great choice. You may also want to invest in a minifridge for your temporary kitchen to store perishables and leftovers.

If your kitchen is cramped and poorly configured, installing new fixtures and finishes may not be enough. You might also need to enlarge the kitchen rather than simply remodel it to achieve the features and functionality you crave.
Of course, an addition can include kitchen remodeling elements, such as replacing the countertops, cabinets, and flooring, but most importantly, it increases the space's square footage.

Cabinetry Extension
Perhaps your formal dining room isn't used often, but the adjacent kitchen feels overcrowded. By tearing down the wall and extending the cabinetry, you can double the size of your kitchen.

Adding a Kitchen Island
By bumping out kitchen walls, you can make space for the island you’ve always wanted. This addition provides much-needed seating, storage, and counter space.

Eat-in Kitchen Area
Do you wish you had a breakfast nook where your family could slow down and start the day together? Maybe you want a place for the kids to do homework while you cook dinner. Either way, the extra space from a kitchen addition can create the functional area you desire.

Building a Walk-in Pantry
When you convert that unused kitchen corner into a walk-in pantry, you’ll have plenty of space to store food and small appliances.

Layout Reconfiguration
Pushing out the walls might make you realize your kitchen would function better if you altered its layout. Better Builders can design and implement the reconfiguration you need to maximize your kitchen’s usability.

There are many ways you can benefit from adding square footage to your existing kitchen including:

Improve Functionality 
There’s no question that a larger kitchen is more functional. Adding other advanced features — such as smart appliances and custom storage solutions — boosts this benefit even more. 

Raise Property Value 
The kitchen is often the first thing home buyers look at. Your enlarged, functional kitchen is sure to garner attention and justify a higher asking price.

Enjoy Greater Accessibility
A kitchen addition that incorporates aging-in-place design keeps your home beautiful and functional even as your mobility needs change over time.
