Kitchen Remodeling Services

We remodel kitchens across Tempe, from mid-century ranches near downtown to South Tempe family homes and the condos along Town Lake. The through-line is the same: take a kitchen that was designed to be hidden and turn it into the room the house revolves around. Many clients continue the momentum into bathroom remodeling with the same team.

Open Up the Galley

The classic Tempe transformation: take down the wall between kitchen and living room, drop the soffits, and let one connected space do what two cramped rooms couldn’t. We handle the structural engineering and reroute whatever the soffits were hiding.

Countertops & Islands

Stone fabricated in our own Phoenix shop, from classic granite to marble-look dolomite, cut to fit a new island or peninsula exactly where the old wall used to be.

Light & Finishes

Recessed lighting where a fluorescent box used to hum, backsplashes and hardware that pull the room together, and finishes chosen to brighten kitchens that were built with one window. See finished projects in our gallery.

Condo & Loft Kitchens

Town Lake and Mill Avenue kitchens have their own rules: HOA approvals, elevator logistics, and compact footprints that reward smart design. We coordinate the building side so you only have to think about the kitchen.

Designed for Cooking in the Urban Desert

Tempe sits in the densest, hottest part of the Valley, and its older kitchens weren’t built for it: original vent hoods that recirculate more than they exhaust, single-pane windows over the sink catching the west sun, and hard water that spots every fixture it touches. A remodel here is the chance to fix the physics along with the looks: real ventilation sized for how you actually cook, stone surfaces that stay cool and shrug off mineral buildup, and lighting that doesn’t depend on one overworked window.

Our Remodeling Process

In-Home Consultation

We walk the kitchen with you, look at what the walls and soffits are hiding, and talk honestly about budget and possibilities.

Design the New Layout

Our in-house designer draws the opened-up kitchen: island placement, sightlines, storage, and how the space connects to the rest of the house.

Materials & Slabs

Cabinets, tile, fixtures, and countertop slabs picked in person at our Phoenix fabrication shop.

Engineering & Permits

Structural plans for any wall coming down, permits pulled, and HOA paperwork handled for condo projects.

Build & Install

Demo, framing, trades, cabinets, and counters templated and cut in-house for an exact fit, with dust contained throughout.

Final Walkthrough

We review the finished kitchen together, close out the punch list, and leave you with care guidance for the new surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen Remodeling in Tempe

Can you open up the galley kitchen in an older Tempe home?

Usually, yes. We check what’s load-bearing, and just as important in these houses, what’s hiding in the soffits: it’s often ductwork, plumbing, or electrical that has to be rerouted before the ceiling can go flat. We scope all of that before demo so the opened-up kitchen is priced honestly from day one.

How long does a kitchen remodel take in Tempe?

Most full kitchen remodels run four to eight weeks on site depending on scope, plus cabinet lead time up front. Structural changes like removing a galley wall add engineering and inspection time. You get a realistic schedule with your estimate, and one team manages it start to finish.

Do you remodel condo kitchens near Tempe Town Lake?

Yes. Condo kitchens come with extra logistics: HOA approvals, insurance certificates, elevator scheduling, and protecting common areas. We handle the paperwork and plan the noisy work around building rules so the project moves without drama.

Is an open kitchen worth it in a smaller Tempe house?

In most cases it’s the single change that transforms the home. Older Tempe floor plans wall the kitchen into its own small room; opening it to the living space adds light, sightlines, and seating without adding a single square foot. We’ll tell you honestly if your layout is the exception.

How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Tempe?

It depends on the size of the kitchen, your cabinetry and countertop choices, and whether walls or soffits are coming out. Fabricating stone in-house helps us keep countertop costs down. Rather than guess, we provide a free in-home estimate with accurate numbers for your project.

Do you handle permits, plumbing, and electrical?

Yes. As a full design-build contractor we manage the entire project, including permits, structural work, plumbing, electrical, cabinetry, countertops, and tile, so you’re not coordinating separate trades.
