ABOUT US
Kitchen Remodeler Tacoma was built around a simple frustration we kept hearing from homeowners across the South Sound: too many contractors overpromise, under-communicate, and leave projects half-finished. We set out to be the opposite — a team homeowners could trust to show up on time, quote honestly, and finish what they started.
Since then, we’ve completed kitchen renovations across Tacoma and Pierce County — from small countertop and cabinet refreshes to full gut renovations in homes decades old. Every project runs through the same process: a free in-home consultation, a detailed written estimate, a realistic timeline, and one project manager who’s accountable for the whole job, not just their piece of it.
Our Expertise
Our team brings 30+ years of combined experience across:
- Kitchen design and space planning

- Countertop fabrication (quartz, granite, quartzite, butcher block)
- Tile and backsplash installation
- Flooring installation (hardwood, LVP, engineered wood, porcelain)
- Plumbing and electrical coordination

We work in older homes with outdated wiring and layouts, and in newer builds where the goal is a full style upgrade — either way, our team has the trade knowledge to plan it correctly and execute it without costly surprises mid-project.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Lakewood, WA?
A targeted refresh (countertops, cabinet refacing, backsplash) typically runs $10,000–$18,000. A mid-range full renovation lands between $22,000–$38,000. A high-end gut renovation with custom cabinetry and structural changes can reach $55,000+. A free in-home estimate gives you a number specific to your kitchen.
Do you handle permits for kitchen renovations in Lakewood?
Yes, on every project that needs one. We manage the application and coordination with the City of Lakewood for structural, plumbing, or electrical permits as part of the job.
How long will my Lakewood kitchen renovation take?
Four to seven weeks for a standard full renovation, depending on scope and material lead times. Smaller projects — countertops, refacing, backsplash — are often finished in one to two weeks.
Can I stay in my home during the renovation?
Most clients do. We set up a temporary meal-prep space before demo, keep a consistent daily schedule, and clean up thoroughly at the end of each day. The first two weeks of demo and rough-in are the most disruptive; after that, things move quickly.
Do you serve all of Lakewood, or just certain neighborhoods?
All of Lakewood — Tillicum, Oakbrook, Springbrook, Custer, Woodbrook, and the areas around American Lake and Fort Steilacoom Park — plus nearby Tacoma, University Place, Puyallup, and the rest of Pierce County.
What kitchen styles are popular in Lakewood right now?
Modern farmhouse (shaker cabinets, apron sinks, warm wood accents), transitional layouts, and Scandinavian-inspired minimalist kitchens with flat-panel cabinetry — with white and warm-gray quartz as the leading countertop choice across all three.
