Owner-operated kitchen remodels for Renton homeowners — from quick refreshes to full gut renovations across the Highlands, Kennydale, Talbot Hill, and downtown Renton. Licensed, insured, and 15–20 minutes north on Highway 167.
Renton's housing stock is what shapes every remodel decision here. Renton has some of the oldest housing stock in South King County. The Renton Highlands and Earlington areas are full of original Craftsman bungalows and 1940s–50s post-war homes — beautiful bones but often with knob-and-tube wiring still hiding behind walls, cast-iron drain stacks, and lath-and-plaster surfaces that need careful demo. Kennydale and Talbot Hill mix mid-century homes with newer infill construction.
Our Kent base is about a 15–20 minute drive north on Highway 167, putting Renton site visits and material runs squarely in our daily route. That proximity matters — when materials show up damaged or an inspector needs a same-day correction, we are not driving in from Seattle.
Talk to Us About Your ProjectWhat's Included
We handle the full scope so you're not chasing four subs. Below is what's typically included in a Renton kitchen project; we tailor every estimate to your home.
Custom, semi-custom, or stock cabinet installation with soft-close hardware, pull-outs, and crown detail. Refacing available where the boxes are still sound.
Quartz, granite, butcher block, and solid surface. Templating, fabrication coordination, and seamless installation included.
Sink and faucet swaps, dishwasher rough-ins, ice-maker lines, and re-piping outdated supply lines common in older homes.
Code-compliant outlets and GFCIs, under-cabinet wiring, dedicated circuits for ranges and microwaves, and panel upgrades when required.
LVP, engineered hardwood, tile, or refinishing existing hardwoods. Subfloor repair included when we open things up and find rot.
Subway, mosaic, slab, and large-format tile. Proper substrate, waterproofing where needed, and clean grout lines.
Faucets, sinks, range hoods, and appliance installation. We coordinate delivery so nothing arrives before we are ready for it.
Recessed cans, pendants over islands, under-cabinet LED, and dimmer-friendly switching. Wired right the first time.
We pull City of Renton permits when plumbing, electrical, gas, or structural work is involved, and we schedule the inspections.
Renton Permits & Considerations
The City of Renton requires a building permit any time a kitchen remodel involves structural changes, electrical alterations, plumbing relocation, or gas line work. A like-for-like cosmetic refresh (paint, cabinet doors, countertops with no plumbing relocation) usually doesn't require a permit — but the moment you move a sink or add a circuit, it does.
We pull every required permit through the Renton Permit Center, coordinate the rough-in and final inspections, and keep documentation in your project file so it's there if you sell the home later. Skipping permits is one of the most common ways homeowners get burned at resale.
Honest Pricing
Renton sits in the upper-mid range of the Puget Sound market. Below are the typical ranges we see — your number depends on size, scope, and material selection, and you'll get an itemized estimate before any work starts.
Cabinet refacing or paint, new countertops, sink & faucet swap, backsplash, and lighting refresh. No plumbing relocation.
Semi-custom cabinetry, quartz counters, new appliances, LVP or hardwood flooring, and updated electrical. Most common project tier.
Custom cabinetry, layout reconfiguration, structural openings, premium appliances, and panel upgrades.
Ranges are typical Renton kitchen project costs and don't include unforeseen repairs (rot, knob-and-tube replacement, etc.) — we flag those in writing the moment we find them, never bury them in a final invoice.
