We specialize in full and partial kitchen remodels that involve layout changes, structural modifications, new cabinetry, countertops, appliances, lighting, and code-compliant electrical and plumbing upgrades. We’re best suited for kitchens where planning, coordination, and long-term durability matter—not surface-only refreshes.
Not always. Some kitchen remodels can begin with conceptual layouts and selections, while others—especially those involving wall removal, layout changes, or mechanical updates—require plans and permits. We help determine what’s required early so there are no surprises later.
Kitchen remodel costs vary widely based on size, layout changes, materials, and appliance selections. In the Columbia, SC area, most professionally managed kitchen remodels fall into a mid- to high-range investment, especially when structural changes or higher-end finishes are involved. We provide realistic budget guidance early in the process.
Most kitchen remodels take 6–10 weeks of active construction, depending on scope, inspections, and material lead times. Projects involving structural changes or custom cabinetry may take longer. We provide a clear timeline once plans and selections are finalized.
Yes. As a design-build contractor, we assist with layout optimization, workflow improvements, storage planning, and finish coordination. This is especially helpful in older homes where existing layouts don’t match modern use patterns.
Most kitchen remodels do. Permits are typically required for electrical, plumbing, mechanical changes, structural modifications, and sometimes even cabinetry layout changes. We handle permitting and inspections as part of the process.
Yes. We coordinate appliance installation as part of the remodel, including proper clearances, ventilation requirements, and utility connections. We always follow manufacturer installation guidelines to ensure safety and warranty compliance.
In most cases, yes—but expect temporary inconvenience. Your kitchen may be unusable for portions of the project. We help homeowners plan ahead for cooking, access, and daily routines during construction.
Any changes are handled through a written change order that outlines scope, cost, and schedule impact before work proceeds. This keeps expectations clear and avoids surprises.
We offer free initial estimates once scope and direction are clear. For more complex kitchen remodels, we may recommend a paid design or pre-construction phase to develop accurate plans, selections, and pricing—often credited toward the project if you move forward.
We are generally not a good fit for:
Ultra-low-budget kitchen remodels
Cosmetic-only updates with no planning
Projects focused solely on the cheapest possible outcome
