Quick answer

A kitchen remodel on the Seattle Eastside typically costs $25,000–$85,000—up to $135,000–$240,000 for a luxury gut—and takes 6–10 weeks of on-site work after design and permitting. Pelletier Construction Group is a design-build general contractor that self-performs kitchen renovations in Kirkland, Bellevue, Redmond, Bothell, Kenmore, and Woodinville.

The approach

A kitchen that works harder—and pays you back

The kitchen is the room buyers judge first and the one you live in most. A good remodel earns its keep on both counts: better daily function and real return at resale. We don't chase trends or overbuild for the block—we put money where it actually moves value and livability.

As a design-build contractor that self-performs, we own the whole job: layout and selections, permits, demo, and every trade through final walkthrough. That means fewer handoffs, tighter timelines, and one team accountable from the first measurement to the last cabinet pull.

Whether you're opening up a closed-off galley, updating a forever home, or prepping a property to sell or rent, we scope it around your goals and your budget—then build it clean.

What's included

Every trade, under one roof

01

Layout & space planning

Opening walls, relocating islands, and rethinking work zones so the kitchen fits how you actually live.

02

Cabinetry & storage

Custom and semi-custom cabinets, pantries, and built-ins—sized to your space and your storage habits.

03

Countertops & backsplash

Quartz and natural stone counters with tile or slab backsplashes, templated and installed in-house.

04

Appliances & ventilation

Appliance fit-out, proper range ventilation, and the rough-in to support induction, gas, or built-ins.

05

Lighting & electrical

Recessed, under-cabinet, and task lighting, plus the panel and circuit work to do it to code.

06

Plumbing & fixtures

Sink relocations, pot fillers, filtration, and fixture upgrades handled with the rest of the build.

07

Flooring

Tile, engineered wood, or LVP that ties into adjacent rooms for a seamless open-concept feel.

08

Structural changes

Load-bearing wall removal with proper engineering and beams—self-performed and permitted.

09

Design & permitting

Drawings, selections, and the permit process managed start to finish so you're never the middleman.

Layout, cabinetry, counters, and finishes get locked in, with a clear scope and fixed expectations on cost and timeline.

Permitting & pre-construction

We pull permits, order long-lead items, and sequence the trades so the job runs without stalls once demo starts.

04

Demo & rough-in

Tear-out, any structural work, and plumbing, electrical, and HVAC rough-in—inspected and signed off before we close walls.

05

Cabinets, counters & finishes

Cabinetry sets, counters template and install, then backsplash, flooring, lighting, and paint bring it together.

06

Walkthrough & handoff

We punch the list with you, clean the site, and hand back a kitchen that's done right—not done twice.

Questions

Kitchen remodel FAQs

How much does a kitchen remodel cost on the Eastside?
Most fall between $25k for a refresh and $85k for a full remodel, with high-end and luxury gut projects running $85k–$240k+. The big drivers are kitchen size, how much the layout changes, and your finish selections.
How long does a kitchen remodel take?
Plan on roughly 6–10 weeks of on-site work once design is finalized and permits are in hand. Gut remodels and projects with structural changes run longer; we give you a realistic schedule before demo.
Do you handle design, permits, and material selections?
Yes. We're a design-build contractor, so we manage layout and drawings, the permit process, and selections from start to finish—you're never coordinating between separate designers, suppliers, and subs.
Can you open up the kitchen or remove a wall?
Often, yes. We self-perform structural work, so removing a load-bearing wall to open the kitchen is common—we engineer it, install the proper beam, and permit it correctly.
Will a kitchen remodel add resale value?
Refreshes and mid-range remodels recoup the most at resale; higher-end builds return a smaller share but add livability. We help you spend where it returns for your goals—whether that's living in it or selling.
Can I stay in my home during the remodel?
Usually. We can set up a temporary kitchen, contain dust, and keep the site clean and sequenced so the disruption stays manageable.
Which areas do you serve?
Kirkland, Bellevue, Redmond, Bothell, Kenmore, Woodinville, and the surrounding King and Snohomish County communities on the Eastside.
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Bellevue or Kirkland?
Costs are similar across the Eastside: a refresh runs about $25k–$45k, a full remodel $45k–$85k, and high-end or luxury projects $85k–$240k+. Bellevue and Kirkland kitchens often skew toward the higher tiers because of larger footprints and higher-end selections.
What's the difference between a kitchen refresh and a full remodel?
A refresh keeps your existing layout and cabinet boxes—think refacing or paint, new counters, backsplash, fixtures, and lighting. A full remodel replaces the cabinetry and often changes the layout, flooring, and electrical. Refreshes cost less and recoup the most at resale.
