REMODELING YOUR KITCHEN
Your dream kitchen might be best realized by investing in a full kitchen remodel. This is our typical kitchen renovation project.

CHANGING YOUR KITCHEN LAYOUT
Many of the older kitchens we see in and around Seattle were not built to feel spacious or open. The most common kitchen layout change is to create an open-concept kitchen (more on that below), but other common layout changes include removing or adding an island, changing the entry point, and rearranging peninsulas to help create a better flow to the kitchen.
CREATING AN OPEN FLOOR PLAN
The open-concept kitchen is one of the most prominent features of a modern home. Homeowners often ask us to remove the wall between the dining room and the kitchen to open the floor plan of their home. A seamless transition between cooking and dining areas is evocative of current social norms. Entertaining is now done around the kitchen counter, and hard-and-fast rules about dining at the table have been replaced with island seating and other informal dining options.
KITCHEN ISLANDS
The kitchen island is the new casual dining solution. We often create spaces with new or expanded kitchen islands because of their practicality and versatility. The extra built-in storage will organize your cookware, while an overhang will give you seating for casual meals. Not to mention a kitchen island gives you more room for preparing meals and completing household tasks.
KITCHEN CABINETS
Cabinet selection during kitchen remodels is a common question we get as a design-build firm. What are the options? What are the differences? Stock cabinets, semi-custom, and custom cabinets can be wildly different in more ways than cost alone. Since cabinets are typically the largest expense of your remodel regardless of maker, we favor semi-custom cabinets. They are durable, often made locally, and give you many opportunities for customization. The right cabinets will set the tone for your entire kitchen and be full of utility.
BUILT-IN KITCHEN LIGHTING
One of the most useful and satisfying kitchen upgrades is often the lighting. Adding extra can lights in the ceiling is a simple fix, but it's custom built-in details that really make a kitchen remodel sparkle. We're keen on adding under-shelf and under-cabinet task lighting, pendant lighting above a sink or island, and even in-cabinet lighting to help you see the way back. We sort through the thousands of options to present you with fixtures that match your design style, needs, and budget.

A basement remodel involves transforming a previously unused or underutilized space into a functional living area. The process typically includes assessing the space for any necessary repairs or upgrades, such as waterproofing or reinforcing the foundation. Next, the design phase begins, which includes planning the layout, selecting materials, and choosing fixtures and finishes. The actual construction phase involves framing, electrical and plumbing work, insulation, drywall installation, flooring, and finishing touches such as painting and trim work. Depending on the scope of the remodel, additional features such as windows, lighting, and heating and cooling systems may also need to be installed. Throughout the process, it is important to work with a licensed contractor who can ensure that all building codes and safety regulations are followed. A well-executed basement remodel can add valuable living space and increase the overall value of a home.
Budgeting for a basement remodel can seem daunting, but with some planning and organization, it can be manageable. Here are some steps you can take to budget for your basement remodel:
- Determine your priorities: Decide which features and upgrades are most important to you and your family. Prioritizing the most critical elements can help you allocate your budget more effectively.
- Research costs: Research the costs of materials, labor, and any necessary permits for your remodel. Get quotes from contractors and suppliers to help you understand the range of costs.
- Create a budget spreadsheet: Use a spreadsheet to track your expenses, including the cost of materials, labor, and any unexpected expenses that may arise.
- Add a contingency fund: Include a contingency fund in your budget to account for any unexpected costs that may arise during the project.
- Consider financing options: If you don’t have enough cash on hand to cover the entire cost of the remodel, consider financing options such as a home equity loan or line of credit.
- Be flexible: Be prepared to adjust your budget if unexpected costs arise or if you decide to change the scope of the project.
- Stick to your budget: Once you have created a budget, try to stick to it as closely as possible to avoid overspending.
By following these steps, you can create a realistic budget for your basement remodel and avoid any unexpected costs that may arise.
The cheapest way to finish a basement floor is to paint or stain the existing concrete surface. Painting or staining the concrete is a relatively simple and inexpensive process that can provide a clean and polished look to the basement floor.
To paint or stain a concrete basement floor, the surface must first be thoroughly cleaned and prepped. This involves removing any debris, dirt, or oil stains and ensuring that the concrete is completely dry. Once the surface is clean and dry, a concrete paint or stain can be applied using a roller or sprayer.
Another low-cost option for finishing a basement floor is to use interlocking floor tiles. These tiles are made of durable materials such as PVC or rubber and can be easily installed over the existing concrete surface. They are available in a wide range of colors and styles and can provide a comfortable and slip-resistant surface.
It is important to note that while painting, staining, or using interlocking floor tiles can be a cost-effective way to finish a basement floor, they may not be as durable or long-lasting as other flooring options. Additionally, these options may not be suitable for basements with high humidity levels or water infiltration. It is recommended to work with a professional to determine the best flooring option for your basement based on your budget and specific needs.
Tile flooring can be a good option for a basement, depending on various factors such as the basement’s specific conditions and intended use. There are several advantages to using tile in a basement. For example, tile is moisture-resistant and easy to clean, making it an ideal choice for basements that are prone to dampness or flooding. Additionally, tile is available in a wide range of styles, colors, and patterns, making it easy to customize the basement’s look and feel.
However, there are some potential downsides to using tile in a basement. For instance, tile can be cold and hard underfoot, which may not be ideal for basements that are used as living spaces. Additionally, tile can be more expensive than other flooring options, such as carpet or vinyl.
It is important to consider all factors when choosing the best flooring for your basement. Working with a professional who has experience in basement finishing and flooring can help ensure that you select the best flooring option for your basement based on your budget, lifestyle, and intended use. Additionally, a professional can help ensure that the tile installation is done correctly, so that it will withstand the unique conditions of a basement environment.
When it comes to choosing the best type of tile for a basement floor, there are several factors to consider, including the basement’s specific conditions and intended use. Some popular options for basement floor tile include:
- Porcelain tile: Porcelain tile is a durable and long-lasting option that is resistant to moisture and stains, making it a popular choice for basements. It is also available in a wide range of colors, patterns, and sizes, making it easy to customize the look of your basement.
- Ceramic tile: Ceramic tile is another popular option for basement floors. It is available in a wide range of colors, patterns, and sizes, and can be glazed or unglazed. While ceramic tile is not as durable as porcelain tile, it is still a relatively durable and moisture-resistant option for basement floors.
- Vinyl tile: Vinyl tile is a cost-effective and moisture-resistant option that can mimic the look of other types of tile. It is also available in a wide range of colors and patterns, making it easy to customize the look of your basement.
Ultimately, the best type of tile for your basement floor will depend on your budget, lifestyle, and intended use. It is important to work with a professional who has experience in basement finishing and flooring to ensure that the chosen tile is suitable for the basement’s unique conditions and will provide long-lasting durability.
