Our kitchen remodel scope covers every phase from demo to final touches:

• Design and planning — We measure your existing kitchen, identify structural walls, mechanical locations, and code constraints, then develop a layout that addresses your priorities — more counter space, better flow, added storage, or a reconfigured island.
• Permits — Any kitchen remodel that moves plumbing, electrical, or touches structural walls requires a permit in Salt Lake County municipalities. We pull all required permits and schedule inspections.
• Demo and structural work — Removal of existing cabinets, countertops, flooring, and finishes. If layout changes require moving a wall or widening a doorway, we handle the framing and any structural beam work.
• Rough plumbing and electrical — Sink relocation, dishwasher stub-out, gas line for range — coordinated with our licensed plumber. New circuits for appliances, under-cabinet lighting, and GFCI outlets — coordinated with our licensed electrician.
• Cabinet installation — Semi-custom or custom cabinet installation, shimmed level and secured to studs. We work with your selected cabinet supplier or can recommend local Utah dealers.
• Countertops — Template and install for granite, quartz, quartzite, and butcher block. We work with local fabricators for fast turnaround and coordinate the template after cabinets are fully installed.
• Tile backsplash — Full or partial backsplash installed behind range and counter runs. Subway, mosaic, or large-format tile — we set it all.
• Flooring — Hardwood, LVP, or tile flooring through the kitchen and connected areas. We transition cleanly to existing adjacent flooring.
• Appliance installation — Built-in range, hood, dishwasher, refrigerator cutout, and microwave integration. We coordinate appliance delivery with installation sequence.
• Finish work — Paint, trim, hardware, and punch-list items. The final 10% that determines whether a project feels finished or rushed.

Kitchen remodeling requires coordination across more licensed trades than almost any other residential project: framing, plumbing, electrical, mechanical (range hood venting), tile, flooring, cabinetry, and finish carpentry. When a homeowner manages this themselves, the schedule collapses — trades can't sequence correctly, inspections get missed, and the project drags months past the original timeline.

As a licensed GC, we hold the master permit and take responsibility for all trade coordination. Our licensed plumber and electrician work within our project schedule, not around it. When a code question comes up (and it always does — outlet placement near a new island, or vent path for a new range hood), we resolve it in the field rather than sending it back to the homeowner to figure out.

We also carry general liability and workers' compensation insurance on all workers on your project — something a rotating cast of individual subs cannot guarantee. One point of contact. One warranty. One timeline.

1. Free consultation — We walk your existing kitchen, discuss layout goals, identify structural constraints, and review your priority list (storage, flow, appliances, finishes). Takes 45–60 minutes.
2. Design and proposal — We develop a layout proposal with rough dimensions, scope of work, and fixed-price quote. We're not a design firm that charges for design separately — the design is part of the project.
3. Permit and material selection — We pull permits while you select cabinets, countertop slab, tile, and flooring. We can connect you to our preferred local suppliers or work with your selections.
4. Demo — Removal of existing kitchen elements. We protect adjacent living areas and contain demo dust. Structural work (wall removal, beam installation) happens in this phase.
5. Rough-in — Plumbing and electrical rough-in, framing for new layout. Inspections scheduled and passed before walls close.
6. Cabinet and countertop installation — Cabinets installed and shimmed. Countertop templated and ordered. Backsplash begins after countertop is confirmed.
7. Finish trades — Tile, flooring, paint, trim, hardware, appliance installation. Punchlist walk with homeowner before we leave the site.

Most kitchen remodels run 4–8 weeks from demo through final walkthrough. Projects involving structural wall removal or layout changes may extend to 10–12 weeks. We'll give you a specific timeline with your proposal.

Kitchen remodeling cost in Utah varies more than almost any other project type depending on layout changes, cabinet quality, and appliance selection:

• Cosmetic refresh (new cabinets, countertops, tile — no layout change): $25,000–$45,000
• Mid-scope remodel (some layout changes, semi-custom cabinets, quartz countertops): $45,000–$75,000
• Full remodel with layout change (structural wall, full re-plumb, custom cabinets): $75,000–$130,000+

Our average kitchen remodel project runs approximately $45,000–$65,000 for a standard Salt Lake Valley home kitchen with semi-custom cabinets, quartz countertops, new tile, and updated electrical and plumbing. High-end custom cabinet selections and full structural layout changes drive cost above that range. We'll give you a specific number after seeing your kitchen — cost depends heavily on current layout, what's changing, and the finish level you want.
