Kitchen Remodeling Shouldn't Be Stressful

You've been dreaming about a new kitchen, but the horror stories hold you back. Bad contractors, blown budgets, projects that drag on for months while your family eats takeout in the living room.

We've completed hundreds of kitchen remodels across Seattle and the Eastside, since we opened in 2011. We know exactly what it takes to get the job done right, on time, and on budget.

We understand how overwhelming it can feel. With us, it won't. Let us take the stress off your plate.

What's Included in an NW Homeworks Kitchen Remodel?

Everything — design through final walkthrough — under one roof. We're a true design-build general contractor, not a bid-out shop that hands you off to a stranger after the contract is signed.

One project manager, one schedule, one crew. You don't chase subcontractors and we don't pass blame.

How Long Does a Kitchen Remodel Take?

Most full kitchen remodels take 6 to 12 weeks from demo day to final walkthrough. A straightforward cabinet and countertop replacement is on the shorter end. Anything with structural changes, plumbing relocation, or custom millwork lands in the longer range.

Here's what to expect for the different scopes we typically handle:

We give you a clear week-by-week schedule before we start, and we keep you in the loop the entire way through. If something shifts, you'll hear it from us first.

Do I Have to Move Out During the Remodel?

Almost never. The vast majority of our clients stay in their home through the entire kitchen remodel. We make it work.

Before we start demo, we help you set up a temporary kitchen — usually in a dining room or basement — with the basics: microwave, coffee maker, fridge access, and a workable countertop. We seal off the work zone with floor-to-ceiling dust barriers and zip-doors so the rest of the house stays livable. Shoe covers on every entry. Daily cleanup before our crew leaves.

It's not glamorous for those weeks, but it's manageable — and you'll save the cost of an Airbnb. If you'd rather move out for the rough phase, we can also work with that schedule.

How Much Does a Kitchen Remodel Cost in Seattle?

Most kitchen remodels in the Seattle area run between $25,000 and $80,000, depending on size, scope, and finish level. Older Seattle homes can add to that — walls out of plumb, sloped floors, and original plumbing or electrical that need bringing up to code.

Basic
Pull & Replace
$25k–$35k
New cabinets installed; butcherblock or laminate counters & backsplash; builder-grade appliances and fixtures
Mid-Range
Updated Remodel
$35k–$50k
Tile backsplash, quartz counters, new appliances, plus some electrical & plumbing work
High-End
Design-Build
$50k–$80k
Layout changes, walls removed, semi-custom cabinets, new flooring & trim, higher-end appliances

We provide fixed-price proposals after our free in-home consultation — everything is laid out line by line, so there are no surprises mid-project.

Common Questions

Do I need permits for a kitchen remodel?

If your remodel involves structural changes or major electrical and plumbing work, yes. Cosmetic updates like painting or replacing countertops typically don't. We handle all the permitting for you, so you don't have to navigate the process yourself.

What's included in the free consultation?

We visit your home, discuss your vision and goals, assess the existing space, and talk through options and budget ranges. There's no pressure and no obligation. It's simply a conversation to see if we're the right fit for your project.

What if I already have a designer or some plans?

Great — we'll work with what you have. Bring your designer, your Pinterest board, your napkin sketch, or just a rough idea. We can build from any starting point. If you don't have a designer, we have in-house design that's included in the project.

How does payment work?

We use a milestone-based draw schedule — you pay as agreed phases of the project complete, not all upfront. The exact schedule is outlined in your fixed-price proposal before any work begins.

Every day you wait is another day cooking in a kitchen you don't love.
