Seattle Kitchen Remodeling

Kitchen remodel costs in Seattle vary widely depending on the scope of work, the size of the kitchen, and the level of finishes you select. A mid-range kitchen remodel in the Seattle area typically starts around $100,000 while more comprehensive renovations involving structural changes, custom cabinetry, or high-end appliances can range from $150,000 to $250,000 or more.

Factors that influence cost include whether you’re changing the layout, adding an island, upgrading electrical or plumbing, and the quality of materials like countertops and cabinetry. Our free Kitchen Pricing Guide (crddesignbuild.com/content-offer/kitchen-pricing-guide/) gives you a detailed breakdown based on real Seattle projects, so you can plan with confidence.

A typical kitchen remodel with CRD takes five to six months from the start of design through completion of construction. The design phase usually runs ten to twelve weeks, depending on the complexity of your project and how quickly selections are made. Construction typically takes ten to twelve weeks.

Most kitchen remodels need a simple building permit in Seattle. CRD manages the entire permitting process for you and we factor permitting timelines into every project schedule. During your Discovery Call, we’ll give you a realistic timeline based on the specific scope of your kitchen project.

Yes, most of our clients live at home during their kitchen remodel. We set up temporary walls to separate the construction area from your living spaces and do our best to keep dust and debris contained. If needed, we can set up a temporary kitchen so you still have access to a sink, microwave, and refrigerator during the project.

We always recommend open communication with your production team so we can work around your schedule, especially if you work from home.

We always ensure there is a separation in your home between the areas being worked on and the living spaces when your project starts. We do our best to keep dust and debris out of the living areas by putting up temporary walls between spaces.

A bathroom remodel can be tricky to work around if its the only bathroom in the house. You may need to relocate for the duration of construction.

If you work from home during your project, we will try to accommodate your schedule. We always recommend having open and honest communication with your production team to mitigate any potential issues.

CRD warrants its work for 24 months starting from the time we sign the construction agreement. As the warranty comes to an end we always reach out to clients to let them know in advance in case any last minute fixes need to be made.

Design build is a full-service approach to home remodeling that includes both the design and construction. The design-build approach tends to offer homeowners better efficiency, accountability, communication, and convenience for their home remodeling project.

Our design process is divided into three steps: Schematic Design, Design Development and Construction Agreement.

Your design journey with CRD will begin with the Schematic Design phase in which we learn more about your goals, take measurements of your home, and gather ideas. During a series of meetings, your designer and architect will get your feedback on initial floor plans and design direction. As we develop an ideal scope of work, you will then have the opportunity to review preliminary pricing at the Schematic Estimate Meeting. Open and honest conversation about budget tracking is the foundation of CRD’s proven process and will give you the confidence and clarity to move forward.

This is followed by a series of Design Development meetings, where you will further refine your design. At the Letter of Intent Meeting, you will review updated pricing and make the decision to move forward with construction.

Finally, at the Construction Agreement meeting, you will have the opportunity to review your final pricing and construction documents before signing a fixed-price construction agreement. From there, construction begins, and soon you will be enjoying your remodeled space.

The design process timeline will differ depending on the size of the project.

Prices vary widely depending on the area of the house being remodeled, how old the house is, and if any major structural alterations need to be done to the existing home to achieve the design goal.

CRD is a fixed price construction company. We set a fixed cost once the design is finalized. There are two reasons the cost may change during construction: unforeseen conditions and the client. Unforeseen conditions uncovered during construction are common when remodeling old homes, but we have a proven process to quickly identify and solve potential hurdles. The other way the budget would change would be if the client decides to change the design after construction has begun.
