Kitchen Remodeling in King County
Your kitchen project, built for South Seattle homes
Good kitchen work starts with the homes it happens in — and after five generations across the South Sound, we know South Seattle's.
South Seattle's housing spans landmarked Craftsman rows in Columbia City, stately Tudors and brick homes around Seward Park, early-1900s boxes and bungalows on Beacon Hill, and postwar homes toward Rainier Beach.
We take on a lot of thoughtful old-house work in South Seattle, where a Columbia City Craftsman or Seward Park Tudor deserves a remodel that respects its bones while bringing systems and layouts up to modern life. Permits go through Seattle DCI, and projects in the Columbia City landmark district get extra design review that we plan for from day one. Basement apartment and DADU conversions are big here too, since Seattle zoning encourages them and lots along the Rainier Valley often have alley access.

Why homeowners choose us
Kitchen Remodeling the design-build way
The kitchen is where South Seattle homes earn their keep — homework at the island, holiday cooking in overlapping shifts, coffee before the commute. When yours fights you with cramped counters, dated cabinets, or a layout that traps the cook in a corner, a thoughtfully designed remodel changes daily life more than any other project. Home Renovation Design & Build designs and builds kitchens as one integrated team: our in-house designers create your new kitchen in photorealistic 3D — cabinet doors, stone slabs, backsplash tile, lighting — so you approve the exact kitchen you'll cook in.
Behind the beautiful renderings is fifth-generation building discipline. We open walls to relocate plumbing and electrical correctly, coordinate structural work when islands and open layouts demand it, and pull every required permit with your King County jurisdiction ourselves. Licensed and insured under WA license HOMERDB750MH, we deliver kitchens on a fixed price and a managed schedule, with craftsmanship that holds up to decades of real family use.
Design you can walk through
Our 3D kitchen renderings show your actual cabinet layout, countertop material, and lighting plan before you order a single thing — so there are no surprises when the doors go on.
Cabinetry and surfaces that last
Plywood-box cabinet construction, soft-close hardware, quartz and natural stone counters, and tile work executed by craftsmen — materials chosen for twenty years of daily use, not staging photos.
Layouts engineered for real cooking
We fix work triangles, landing zones, and traffic flow — including wall removals with properly engineered beams when an open-concept kitchen is the goal.
Fixed price, finalized selections
Every appliance, fixture, and finish is selected and priced before demolition, so your contract number is real and your project doesn't stall waiting on decisions.
A predictable, tightly run schedule
Cabinets and materials are ordered and confirmed before we open a wall, keeping your kitchen downtime as short as possible.
Warranty behind every detail
Our written workmanship warranty covers the installation, on top of manufacturer coverage on cabinets, counters, and appliances.
The process
How your South Seattle project unfolds
Kitchen consultation
We measure your existing kitchen, learn how you cook and gather, and align on scope and budget — from refreshed and refaced to fully reimagined.
3D design, selections & proposal
You'll review your new kitchen in realistic 3D, refine the layout and finishes with our designers, and receive a fixed-price proposal with every selection documented.
Permits & material staging
We handle electrical, plumbing, and any structural permits, then order and receive cabinetry, stone, and fixtures so everything is on hand before demo day.
Build-out
Demolition, rough-in trades, inspections, cabinet installation, stone templating and setting, tile, and finish work — sequenced by a project manager who updates you continually.
Reveal & follow-up
A detailed final walkthrough, appliance orientation, punch-list completion, and your warranty in writing. Then you cook the first dinner.

Kitchen Remodeling questions in South Seattle
How long does a kitchen remodel take in South Seattle?
Most full kitchen remodels take 6–10 weeks of construction once materials are on site, plus 6–10 weeks beforehand for design, selections, permitting, and cabinet lead times. Ordering everything before demolition is how we keep the construction window tight.
Will I need permits for a kitchen remodel?
Almost always — moving plumbing, upgrading electrical circuits, or altering walls all require permits, and we pull them for you and manage every inspection. It protects your home's value and your insurance coverage.
What does a kitchen remodel cost?
Midrange projects in the South Seattle area generally land between $45,000 and $90,000; high-end kitchens with custom cabinets and structural changes run $100,000+. We'll give you a realistic range at your free consultation and a fixed price after design.
How do we cook while the kitchen is torn out?
We help you set up a temporary kitchen — refrigerator, microwave, and countertop appliances in another room — and keep water access available. Most families manage comfortably for the construction period, and we keep that period as short as planning allows.
Do you warranty kitchen remodels?
Yes — our written workmanship warranty covers our installation work, alongside manufacturer warranties on cabinetry, countertops, fixtures, and appliances. We're licensed and insured (HOMERDB750MH) and we stand behind every kitchen we build.
