Kitchen remodeling in Kenmore.
Kenmore climbs from the top of Lake Washington into view hillsides, and the split-levels and daylight-basement homes that cover those slopes mostly date to the ’60s and ’70s — with kitchens boxed into the back of the main floor. Go Far Construction delivers full kitchen remodels across Kenmore — custom cabinetry, stone counters, and opened-up layouts on properly engineered beams, with sightlines pointed where the hillside earns them — from a family-owned, licensed Washington general contractor with 12+ years across King and Snohomish counties.
The housing stock sets the work. In a Kenmore split-level the signature project takes the wall between the kitchen and the living-dining level down onto an engineered beam — sized, permitted, and inspected — so the main floor finally works as one room, and on Moorlands and Uplake streets with a slice of lake view, the sightline is the whole point; our load-bearing wall guide covers the structural piece. Where the layout already works, the kitchen gets the full gut instead: cabinets to the ceiling, quartz or granite counters, and lighting that does real work. Both get the full-remodel standard on our kitchen remodeling service page.
On budget: most full kitchen remodels in the Kenmore area land between roughly $45,000 and $110,000 — new custom or semi-custom cabinets, stone countertops, tile, and updated appliances — with layout changes and structural openings pushing past that. Our kitchen cost guide shows where the money goes and our kitchen timeline guide shows how the schedule runs, stage by stage, in writing.
Permits for structural, electrical, and plumbing changes run through the City of Kenmore; we prepare the application, carry fees in an itemized written estimate, and meet every inspection, as on all our Kenmore projects. Remodeling the bathroom while the trades are mobilized is a common pairing — see our Kenmore bathroom remodeling page.

Kenmore kitchen remodeling questions
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Kenmore?
Most full kitchen remodels in the Kenmore area land between roughly $45,000 and $110,000 — new custom or semi-custom cabinets, stone countertops, tile, and updated appliances — with layout changes and structural openings pushing past that. Every project gets an itemized written estimate before any demolition.
Can you open up our split-level kitchen?
Yes — it’s the defining Kenmore project. The wall between a split-level’s kitchen and its living-dining level is usually load-bearing, so the opening gets a properly engineered beam — sized, permitted, and inspected — and the main floor finally lives as one room, with the sightline aimed at the lake where the hillside allows. Our load-bearing wall guide walks through how the structural work is priced.
How long does a kitchen remodel take in Kenmore?
A full kitchen remodel typically runs six to ten weeks of construction once materials are on hand, with layout changes and structural work adding time. Cabinet lead times drive the schedule more than anything else, which is why we order everything before demolition starts — our timeline guide breaks it down stage by stage.
Do I need a permit to remodel a kitchen in Kenmore?
If walls move, circuits are added, or plumbing relocates — yes. Cosmetic refreshes like new cabinet faces, counters, and paint usually don’t need one. Permits run through the City of Kenmore — we handle the application, include the fees in your estimate, and meet every inspector on site.
