Bellevue Custom Arched Kitchen Remodel

This Bellevue kitchen is a custom millwork project as much as a kitchen remodel: full custom cabinets, reinforced pantry construction for Salice hardware, arched cabinet architecture, a stainless hood, gas range, copper backsplash, and a wood arched sliding door that gives the room its character.

    I reached out to RENOVA to see if my 20-year-old kitchen cabinets could be updated. Unfortunately, they were beyond saving, so I ended up going with new ones—and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out! Mike and Dmitriy were amazing throughout the process. They patiently answered all the questions my husband and I had and made the whole experience stress-free. The team worked fast but didn’t cut corners, making sure every detail was done right. My house is old, and the walls and floors aren’t exactly even, but they made everything look flawless. I’m so impressed with their work and so thankful for my beautiful new kitchen. Thank you, RENOVA!

    I had a positive experience working with the Renova team for a kitchen restoration project requiring drywall replacement work, resetting cabinetry, counter top setting, sink and dishwasher placement / connection, tile and finishing. They delivered quickly and effectively on a kitchen restoration which included kitchen cabinet installation of existing cabinets which were present onsite and temporarily removed. The team communicates consistently, and follows through on their word. I would trust them to work on future projects.

    we had renova remodel our basement a few months back. it started as just fixing a leaking wall but ended up redoing the whole space and glad we did tbh. they put in drywall, a small bar area, shelves in the closets (super clean cuts), even moved the washer + dryer without drama. nick and mike were solid guys, always answered texts, not that salesy bs. prices were fair and they gave actual contractor pricing on some stuff, like tile, cabinets, flooring and closet stuff. didn’t skimp on materials either which i respect. overall solid experience. few hiccups but nothing sketchy. would use again.

    We recently hired Nick and his company, Renova, for a complete kitchen remodel, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Nick did a fantastic job managing the entire project, seamlessly orchestrating the different teams and trades to work efficiently on various parts of the kitchen. During the renovation, we ended up changing our scope of work. Instead of this being a stressful hurdle, Nick and his crew were incredibly patient and adaptable. They worked with us closely every step of the way to make sure our dream kitchen became a reality. To top off an already great experience, Nick brought over a beautiful bouquet and a thoughtful gift so we could all celebrate the finished space together. It’s rare to find a contractor who cares this much about their clients and the final outcome. We are absolutely thrilled with our new kitchen and highly recommend Nick and the Renova team!

    Highly Recommend! Professional, Skilled, and trustworthy. I recently hired this team for a water damage restoration project with some upgrades, including a kitchen remodel and help converting our detached garden shed into a studio space. From start to finish, Renova did exceptional work. A few key highlights from my experience: Punctual and reliable: project manager Oleg was very prompt, always showing up when they said they would--which is a rare find in construction these days. Efficient and adaptable management: Nick was fantastic to work with on the logistics. He handled a ton of the back-and-forth coordination with our insurance company, managed the scope of work perfectly, and was flexible when we needed to make adjustments. Excellent craftsmanship: Oleg is an exceptional craftsman. He didn't cut corners to save time. He genuinely cares about the aesthetic and design while ensuring everything functions optimally. His attention to detail and dedication to doing the job right the first time was impressive. If you want a team that is professional, skilled, and keeps their word, I recommend Renova.

    West Seattle Renovation - Cabinet Review Renova hired Vladimir, a cabinetry subcontractor, for our project. He did exceptional work on our kitchen and hallway closet. What was scoped as a straightforward RTA cabinet installation turned into something closer to a semi-custom job. We discovered that our cabinet supplier provides boxes and cabinet fronts from different manufacturers, and did not provide any instruction to ensure they properly fit together. It required problem-solving and great communication throughout the install to ensure a good outcome. Vladimir was meticulous, patient, and genuinely invested in the result. The kitchen in particular was a massive job: new kitchen island, new pantry, and double-stacked upper cabinets. He accommodated last-minute changes without complaint, including flipping a panel to hide a seam and raising the hallway closet off the floor to address a supplier issue. The finished cabinets are beautiful and tight. He is a true craftsman.

Bellevue Kitchen Remodel Cost Guide

Bellevue kitchen remodels can vary widely with the layout, structure, cabinets, countertops, appliances and trade work. A practical update that keeps the footprint may start around $65,000, while a full gut remodel with new cabinets, plumbing, electrical, lighting and selected appliances can move well above $100,000. These are broad planning ranges, not a Renova quote.

The footprint is often the biggest cost lever. Moving a structural wall, sink, range, windows or doors can add design, permit and trade coordination. Older wiring or plumbing may also need review once the proposed scope and existing conditions are known.

We price around the actual labor, access, materials and inspection path rather than the ZIP code. The estimate should separate cabinet and countertop allowances, appliance responsibility, licensed trade work and anything that cannot be confirmed until demolition.

ServiceCost RangeAverage CostLabor CostMaterial Cost
Demolition and Removal$1,800 - $3,600$2,700$1,800$900
Plumbing Work$3,600 - $7,200$5,400$3,600$1,800
Electrical Work$2,400 - $4,800$3,600$2,400$1,200
Framing and Drywall$3,000 - $6,000$4,500$3,000$1,500
Cabinet Installation$6,300.00 - $13,860.00$10,080.00$6,600$3,480

Bellevue Kitchen Remodels Usually Break on Small Stuff First

Kitchen Remodel project photo

With kitchens the annoying part is that it can look like everything is already figured out, but it really is not. You can have cabinet drawings and still not know enough to build from them.

Like the fridge looks fine on the plan, but then the depth is different. Or the hood is picked but nobody checked where it actually vents. Island outlet gets talked about after cabinet layout is already done. Sink is not selected, so now countertop template is waiting because nobody wants to guess the cutout. Same with faucet, disposal, backsplash edge, fillers, panels, all that small stuff that sounds minor until the installer is standing there.

That is why we try to pull the boring decisions forward. Not because every single thing has to be fancy and finalized, but because some things affect the next trade. Cabinets affect counters. Appliances affect electrical. Sink and faucet affect plumbing. Hood affects venting. If those are vague, the estimate is kind of vague too.

For Bellevue it also depends what the kitchen remodel actually touches. Swapping cabinets and finishes is one thing. Moving plumbing, adding circuits, changing ventilation, opening walls, that is a different conversation and the permit side follows the scope. Condos and townhomes can make it even more annoying with elevator time, parking, delivery windows, work hours, shutoffs, HOA rules.

So the estimate should not just say kitchen remodel and hide everything inside one number. If Renova Contractors LLC buys something, it should say that. If the homeowner buys it, we still need the model number, link, delivery timing, and who is responsible if it shows up wrong or late. Otherwise the electrician, plumber, cabinet guy and countertop fabricator all end up waiting on the same missing answer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers about scope, estimates, scheduling, and project coordination

How much is a kitchen remodel in Bellevue actually going to cost me?

It depends on the scope. A practical update that keeps the footprint may start around $65,000, while a full gut remodel with structural changes, new cabinets and heavier trade work can move above $100,000. Material level, access, plumbing and electrical changes, and whether load-bearing walls are involved make the biggest difference. These are planning ranges, not a quote.

How long does it take to get a permit in Bellevue?

Bellevue Development Services can be strict. If it is a basic update we can sometimes get over the counter approvals quickly. But if we are doing structural changes and need to submit plans through MyBuildingPermit.com it can easily take a few months to get the green light.

Do I have to move out while you renovate?

You do not always have to move out, but a kitchen remodel is disruptive. You may be without a working kitchen for weeks. We set up heavy duty zip wall barriers, protect paths and clean regularly, but temporary meal and sink plans should be discussed before construction starts.

My house was built in the 70s do I need an asbestos test?

Before suspect materials are disturbed, the project has to follow Washington good-faith asbestos inspection requirements. Depending on the findings and planned work, material may be tested, treated as presumed asbestos and left undisturbed, or handled by appropriately certified asbestos professionals when it will be affected. We confirm that path before demolition.

Can I just buy my cabinets at a big box store?

You can, but the quote should still account for cabinet quality, fillers, panels, delivery, damage, hardware and install time. Renova Contractors LLC can also help source cabinet packages through suppliers with contractor pricing support when available, so the comparison is not just a sticker price.

Who handles the plumbing and electrical work?

Renova Contractors LLC acts as the single point of contact for the remodel scope. When plumbing or electrical work is part of the project, we coordinate the licensed trades, schedule and inspection path so the homeowner is not managing separate calendars.

What causes the biggest delays in a remodel project?

Material lead times are a common cause. We confirm custom cabinets, major appliances and other long-lead selections against the construction schedule before demolition. The written plan should also identify any item that is ordered but not yet delivered and what happens if its date changes.

Make the Cabinet and Appliance Plan the Source of Truth

A kitchen remodel becomes easier to coordinate when the layout is resolved before demolition. Appliance dimensions, cabinet widths, fillers, door swings, aisle clearances, sink position, ventilation and countertop edges all affect one another. Recording those relationships early creates a plan that can be checked by the cabinet supplier, countertop fabricator and the trades working behind the walls.

Cabinets usually establish the geometry of the room. The design should account for finished panels, hardware clearances, refrigerator and range specifications, storage needs and the way corners actually open. Our Bellevue cabinet installation service covers that scope in more detail. Countertops follow the installed cabinet conditions, so sink details, faucet holes, overhangs and appliance gaps should be confirmed before templating; see Bellevue countertop installation for the related preparation.

The permit and rough-in plan depends on what changes. Moving plumbing, adding circuits, changing ventilation or altering walls is different from replacing finishes in the existing locations. The project scope is reviewed for the appropriate Bellevue submission and inspection path before walls are closed. Material selections also need to be sequenced: cabinets, appliances and plumbing fixtures inform rough locations, while counters must be templated after the cabinet installation is stable. Backsplash and final hookups follow the surfaces they depend on.

One real example is the Bellevue custom arched kitchen remodel. Its design combined full custom cabinetry, reinforced pantry construction for Salice hardware, arched cabinet architecture, a stainless hood, gas range, copper backsplash and a wood arched sliding door. Those features required the millwork, appliance and finish details to read as one composition, rather than as separate product purchases.

Site protection and daily access belong in the plan as well. Containment, protected paths and cleanup matter in an occupied home, and the work sequence should identify when the kitchen is disconnected and which selections must be on hand before each stage begins. Our Bellevue kitchen planning guide provides additional questions to consider.

For homeowners in the Bellevue service area, a productive first review is a measured discussion of the existing room, the desired layout and the selected appliances. From there, cabinet drawings, trade requirements, permits and finish decisions can be coordinated against the same source of truth.

Bellevue Kitchen Water Damage Restoration

Renova Contractors LLC is listed as an IICRC Certified Firm and performs kitchen water damage restoration in Bellevue. A loss at a sink, dishwasher, refrigerator line, window or exterior wall can require selective demolition, coordinated drying, repair of damaged framing or finishes, and careful reinstallation of cabinets, countertops, tile and appliances.

The scope should separate water mitigation from reconstruction and record what can be retained. Our documented Seattle kitchen water damage rebuild is an example of a localized repair that restored the affected sink wall without turning the project into an unnecessary full kitchen remodel.
