Estimate the cost of your kitchen remodel.

Our team walks through how to think about scope and budget for a Portland kitchen remodel. As a design-build firm, our quotes include design drawings, custom cabinetry, licensed trades, a design consultant who guides your project, and a dedicated site superintendent.

This estimate will be higher than a general contractor's bid (and of course DIY). What you're paying for is one accountable team handling design through final walkthrough — no coordination headaches between separate designers, GCs, and subs.

Appliances are typically 10–15% of the budget. Bundled packages can save 10–15% over buying piece by piece, and our designers will coordinate specs with your cabinet drawings before anything is ordered.

A heads-up: don't lock in appliances before your cabinet drawings are finalized. Pro-grade ranges and built-in refrigerators have specific cabinet, ventilation, and electrical requirements — ordering early and then changing your mind can mean expensive cabinet rework.

About 60% of the Portland-area homes we remodel have original hardwoods worth saving. If yours are sound but tired, a refinish (sand + re-stain + three coats of finish) typically runs $4–$6 per square foot — that can save $5,000–$12,000 versus replacing entirely, money better spent on cabinets or counters.

For new floors, your designer will help match material to the rest of the home's flow. Engineered hardwood is a designer-favorite for Portland kitchens because it handles moisture better than solid wood while still looking and refinishing like real hardwood.

As a design-build firm, our team handles every part of a structural remodel — from the load calculations to the framing crew to the final reveal. You'll work with one interior designer for the design phase, a design consultant who guides the whole project, and a dedicated on-site superintendent during construction. No coordinating between separate architects, GCs, and subs.

Plumbing, electrical, and structural work is roughly 15% of the typical Portland kitchen budget. Even a single change like moving the sink under a window or removing one wall can transform how a kitchen lives — and our team prices these up front so you can compare options side-by-side.

Maybe you're curious what a custom island would actually cost. Maybe a walk-in pantry is the difference between this kitchen working for your family or not. Maybe integrated appliances are the design move that ties everything together.

There's no penalty for exploring — check anything you want priced in. Some of these will turn out to be nice-to-haves you defer. Others will turn out to be the reason you're remodeling in the first place. Your design consultant will help you sort which is which at the consultation.
