Tacoma kitchen remodeling for historic North End Craftsman, Stadium District Tudor, Proctor mid-century, and West End view homes — modern function delivered with century-aware craft.
No two Tacoma kitchens start from the same place, and the age of the house usually decides where the budget goes. Up in the North End, Proctor, and Stadium District, the early-1900s Craftsman bungalows, Tudors, and Victorians are a joy to work in — but pull off a cabinet run and you often find knob-and-tube wiring, lath-and-plaster, and cast-iron drains that have to be sorted before the finish work can begin. Down in South Tacoma and Central Tacoma, the 1940s–60s post-war houses tend to hide undersized panels, while the newer builds near the waterfront usually just want a design-forward refresh.
From our Kent base, Tacoma is a straight 30–35 minute run down I-5 — close enough that a damaged countertop or a same-day inspection correction never derails your week. We also take on bathroom remodeling in Tacoma and whole-home renovations here, and the same crew builds kitchens over in Bonney Lake if you're weighing neighborhoods.

You won't be juggling four separate subcontractors — we own the whole scope, from the first day of demo to the last piece of trim. Here's what a typical Tacoma kitchen project covers, though every estimate is shaped around your specific house.
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Sink and faucet swaps, dishwasher rough-ins, ice-maker lines, and re-piping outdated supply lines common in older homes.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 Tacoma permits when plumbing, electrical, gas, or structural work is involved, and we schedule the inspections.
A few quick questions — about 30 seconds.

Tacoma Permits & Considerations
The City of Tacoma wants a building permit the moment a kitchen remodel touches structure, electrical, plumbing relocation, or a gas line. Swap cabinet doors, repaint, or set new countertops in the same spot and you're usually in cosmetic territory — but relocate the sink or drop in a new circuit, and a permit is required. In our older-home work that line gets crossed constantly, since dated wiring almost always needs bringing up to code.
We file through the Tacoma Permit Center under our license, line up the rough-in and final inspections, and keep every document in your project folder for the day you sell. Undocumented kitchen work is one of the fastest ways to lose leverage at closing, so we never cut that corner.
Honest Pricing
Tacoma prices out toward the middle of the Puget Sound market — less than Seattle proper, a step above the outer suburbs. The three tiers below cover most of what we build; your real number tracks kitchen size, how far the layout moves, and the finishes you fall in love with. Nothing starts until you've approved an itemized estimate.
Cabinet refacing or paint, new countertops, sink & faucet swap, backsplash, and updated lighting. Same footprint, no moving plumbing.
New stock or semi-custom cabinets, quartz counters, new appliances, flooring, lighting, and minor electrical/plumbing updates. The most common project here.
Custom cabinetry, layout changes, wall removal, premium appliances, panel upgrades, and high-end finishes.
These are typical Tacoma kitchen ranges and don't bake in the surprises older houses hand us — hidden rot, a run of knob-and-tube, a failed cast-iron drain. When we uncover something behind the plaster, you hear about it in writing that day; it never shows up as a mystery line on the final invoice.
