University Place is one of those communities where people take care of their homes — and it shows. But a lot of the kitchens here are simply due. The 90s and 2000s subdivisions near the Town Center, the established streets around Curran Apple Orchard, the homes up toward Chambers Bay: good houses, tired kitchens.
That’s our bread and butter. Free in-home estimates, itemized pricing, no pressure.
People in University Place host. Book clubs, game nights, holiday dinners, graduation parties — the kitchen is the venue. So we design around that: islands with seating for four or more, double ovens where the space allows, beverage stations tucked into pantries, lighting that goes from prep-bright to dinner-warm.
The housing stock here is mostly 90s–2000s, which means good bones and straightforward projects. Our most common University Place job: reface or replace the cabinets, install quartz counters with a full-height backsplash, redo the flooring across the main level, and overhaul the lighting. Four to six weeks, completely different kitchen — and we keep the disruption contained while you live your life.
For homes near Day Island and the water, we lean toward moisture-resistant materials and finishes that stand up to the marine air.
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in University Place?
Typical range is $20,000 to $75,000. Most mid-range remodels — new cabinets, quartz counters, flooring, lighting — come in between $30,000 and $50,000. Lighter refreshes start around $15,000.
Do I need a permit?
For electrical, plumbing, or structural changes — yes, through the City of University Place. Cosmetic work usually doesn’t need one. We handle permits as part of the job.
How long does it take?
One to two weeks for a refresh; four to eight weeks for a full remodel. Schedule in writing before demolition.
Can you match the kitchen to the rest of my home’s style?
That’s the goal. Traditional, transitional, contemporary — we pick cabinet styles, finishes, and hardware that feel intentional with the rest of the house, not pasted on.
