A kitchen designed on paper before a single cabinet is ordered.
Most kitchen-remodel regret comes from decisions made on the fly mid-demolition. We settle the layout, the cabinetry, and the scope first — so the build is execution, not improvisation.
Is this you?
You want more than new doors on the same bad layout. Maybe the wall between the kitchen and living room should come down, the island never had room to work, or the plumbing and gas need to move to make the space make sense. You want to know what it costs and what it includes before you commit — not discover it halfway through.
This fits if you want to:
- Opening up a closed-off kitchen to the living or dining room.
- Moving plumbing, gas, or an appliance run to fix the layout.
- New cabinetry, counters, lighting, and finishes as one coordinated job.
What’s included — and what’s not
| Included | Not included |
|---|---|
| Layout + design + material/finish selections | Appliances above an agreed allowance |
| Cabinetry, countertops, backsplash, fixtures | Structural work beyond the agreed scope |
| Electrical, plumbing, and gas changes to code | Whole-home rewiring or re-piping |
| Permits, inspections, and corrections cycle | Furniture and décor |
How it works
- Consultation — we walk the kitchen, talk through how you actually use it, and put the full scope on the table.
- Design + selections — layout drawings, cabinetry, counters, and finishes chosen before anything is ordered.
- Permits — we pull what moving plumbing, gas, or a wall requires.
- Build — demo, rough-in, cabinetry, counters, tile, and finishes on one schedule with one crew.
- Walkthrough — punch list, final inspection, and a clean hand-back.
Seattle & King County notes
In Seattle, moving plumbing, gas, or electrical — or taking out a wall — pulls a permit through SDCI; King County jobs go through DPER, and Eastside cities run their own departments. We handle the permit package and the inspection schedule so the build doesn't stall waiting on paperwork.
A cosmetic refresh usually doesn't, but the moment you move plumbing, gas, or electrical, or remove a wall, a permit is required in Seattle and across King County. We pull and manage it as part of the job.
