The overview

Our approach to kitchen remodeling

A kitchen remodel is equal parts choreography and construction. The layout must resolve the daily dance between refrigerator, sink, and stove; storage must put every tool where your hand expects it; lighting must flatter both the food and the people. Then that design has to be executed through plumbing, electrical, cabinetry, stone, and tile trades in precise order. This is exactly the project design-build was invented for.

Our in-house design team models your new kitchen in photorealistic 3D — island proportions, cabinet elevations, how the pendants glow at dinner — so every decision is made with your eyes, not your imagination. We guide you through moisture-smart material choices proven in Pacific Northwest homes, from quartz surfaces to quality cabinet construction and ventilation actually sized to your range.

Then the same firm builds it — five generations of craftsmanship, licensed and insured in Washington (#HOMERDB750MH), with tight scheduling that keeps your days without a kitchen short and financing assistance to make the centerpiece of your home achievable.

Donovan and the family behind Home Renovation Design & Build

A note from Donovan

Your kitchen remodel, treated like it's our own home.

I'm Donovan. My family has been building across the South Sound for five generations, and every kitchen remodeling project we take on gets the same promise: an honest budget range, a design you can walk through in photorealistic 3D before we build it, and a crew that treats your house the way we'd treat our own.

You won't be handed off to a call center or a stranger with a clipboard. You'll work with the same family that's earned its reputation one neighbor at a time — and we don't consider the job done until it feels like home.

Why choose us

What sets our kitchen remodeling apart

Intelligent Layout Design

Work triangles, landing zones, and traffic flow engineered around how you actually cook and gather — the invisible logic that makes a kitchen feel effortless.

Custom Cabinetry & Storage

Full-height pantries, drawer organizers, appliance garages, and island storage designed to the inch, so counters stay clear and everything has a home.

Islands & Gathering Spaces

Islands proportioned for real circulation — seating, prep, and storage balanced so the kitchen becomes the room everyone migrates to.

Premium Surfaces & Tile

Quartz and stone countertops, full-height backsplashes, and durable flooring selected and installed for decades of daily use in a damp climate.

Lighting & Ventilation Done Right

Layered task, ambient, and accent lighting plus properly ducted range ventilation — the two systems builder-grade kitchens most often shortchange.

Structural Openings

Want the kitchen open to the living space? We engineer and execute wall removals as part of the same project, permits included.

How it works

Our design-build process

  1. Consultation & Budget Framing

    We discuss how your kitchen falls short, what you dream of, and establish honest budget ranges before design begins.

  2. 3D Design & Selections

    Layouts, cabinet elevations, and renderings evolve with your feedback while our designers guide every material and appliance selection.

  3. Fixed Proposal & Ordering

    Your itemized proposal locks price and schedule; cabinetry, stone, and appliances are ordered and confirmed before demolition day.

  4. Construction

    Demolition, rough-ins, drywall, cabinetry, counters, tile, and finish work proceed in tight sequence, with a temporary kitchen setup keeping your household fed.

  5. Punch List & Reveal

    We fine-tune doors, drawers, and details, complete inspections, and hand over your kitchen with warranty coverage.

FAQs

Kitchen Remodeling questions

How much does a kitchen remodel cost in the Seattle–Tacoma area?

Mid-range kitchen remodels in the Seattle-Tacoma region typically run $75,000 to $125,000, with custom and layout-changing projects ranging from $125,000 to $250,000+. Your design-based proposal fixes the number before construction, and we offer financing assistance.

How long will I be without a kitchen?

Most kitchens take six to ten weeks of construction. Because we pre-order all cabinetry, stone, and appliances before demolition, your kitchen is never torn out waiting on a delivery — the delay that ruins most kitchen timelines.

Should I move my kitchen's layout or keep the existing footprint?

Keeping plumbing and walls in place saves real money, but a flawed layout stays flawed. In design we price both paths so you can weigh the cost of moving the sink or opening a wall against what it buys in daily function.

Custom, semi-custom, or stock cabinets?

We match cabinet strategy to budget and space. Semi-custom lines deliver excellent value for standard layouts, while full custom earns its cost in tricky spaces and specific visions. Either way, we insist on quality box construction and hardware — the parts you feel for twenty years.

Can you open my kitchen to the living room?

Usually yes, even when the wall bears load. We handle the engineering, beam installation, and permits within the remodel, and our 3D renderings show you the opened space before you commit.

Will you help with appliances and materials?

Every selection, guided. Our designers narrow the overwhelming options to choices that fit your palette, cooking style, and budget, then coordinate specifications and deliveries so everything arrives right and on time.
