Kitchen Remodels for Tempe Homes

Many Tempe homes still have the kitchens they were built with: oak cabinets, tile countertops with stained grout, a wall cutting the kitchen off from the family room and not enough outlets or light. A remodel replaces all of it with a kitchen that works the way you cook and live.

Every project starts with a visit to measure the room, look at the plumbing, electrical and walls, and talk through how you use the space. Then we recommend a layout and materials that fit your budget, from a cabinet and countertop update to a full open-concept remodel.

In Tempe, remodeling work is reviewed and inspected by the City's Building Safety Division (480-350-8341). Moving plumbing or gas lines, adding circuits or removing walls usually means a permit and inspections, and we handle that paperwork as part of the job.

You get a written estimate that breaks out demolition, plumbing, electrical, cabinets, countertops, backsplash and finish work, plus a schedule.

A layout that works

Where the sink, range and refrigerator sit, and how much room is between them, decides how the kitchen feels to cook in.

Open deep kitchen drawers with organized pots, pans and dividers in new cabinets

Storage

Deep drawers, a tall pantry and corner solutions hold more than a wall of doors, and you can see what you have.

What a Kitchen Remodel Can Change

A closed-off kitchen with oak cabinets and tile counters becomes an open, bright room with an island, storage and surfaces that are easy to clean.

Where We Remodel Kitchens in Tempe

Tempe Kitchen Remodeling Questions

How long does a kitchen remodel take in Tempe?

A cabinet and countertop update can take a few weeks once materials arrive. A full remodel with layout changes takes longer, especially when walls move and permits and inspections are involved. You get a schedule with your written estimate.

Do I need a permit to remodel my kitchen in Tempe?

Replacing cabinets and countertops in the same spot often does not. Moving plumbing or gas, adding circuits or removing walls usually does. The City of Tempe Building Safety Division reviews and inspects that work, and we handle the permit when one is needed.

Can you open my kitchen to the living room?

Often, yes. If the wall is not load-bearing it can usually come out. If it is, it can still be done with a beam sized by an engineer and a permit. We check during the estimate.

Can I use my kitchen during the remodel?

Usually not for most of the project. We help you plan a temporary kitchen setup and keep the rest of the house clean and usable.

Which parts of Tempe do you serve?

We work across the City of Tempe, including Downtown Tempe, Maple-Ash, The Lakes, the Kiwanis Park area, Warner Ranch and South Tempe.
