About this service
Kitchen remodels are the most common project nationally — and the most likely to encounter permit surprises. We identify electrical, plumbing, and structural permit requirements for your specific kitchen scope and deliver a concept floor plan with multiple layout options.
Who this is for
Homeowners planning a kitchen update, gut renovation, or layout change in your metro area who want to understand scope, permits, and cost before hiring a contractor.
Common questions
Does a kitchen remodel require a permit?
Cosmetic work (paint, hardware, appliance swap) typically does not. Moving walls, adding circuits, relocating plumbing, or structural changes all require permits in every local jurisdiction.
How much does a kitchen remodel cost nationally?
Minor updates: $15,000–$30,000. Mid-range gut renovation: $45,000–$85,000. Full high-end remodel: $100,000–$200,000+.
Do I need an architect for a kitchen remodel?
Not for most kitchen remodels. Projects involving structural wall removal or significant layout changes may need structural engineering review, which we coordinate.
Can I stay in the house during a kitchen remodel?
Most homeowners stay in the house. We flag potential issues (plumbing shut-off duration, dust containment) in your concept report.
