Kitchen remodeling in Mountlake Terrace.
Mountlake Terrace was built fast and modest — the first two-bedroom homes went up in 1949 for returning veterans, and the ramblers that followed through the ’50s and ’60s still set the city’s character. Their kitchens were drawn small, closed, and strictly for cooking. Go Far Construction delivers full kitchen remodels across Mountlake Terrace — custom cabinetry, stone counters, and opened-up layouts on properly engineered beams — from a family-owned, licensed Washington general contractor based next door in Lynnwood.
The housing stock sets the work. In a compact post-war rambler the biggest win is almost always the wall: take the partition between the kitchen and the living room down onto an engineered beam — sized, permitted, and inspected — and three small rooms start living as one; our load-bearing wall guide covers the structural piece. From there the remodel earns its keep in details that make a modest footprint work hard: cabinets run to the ceiling, a peninsula or compact island where the plan allows, pantry pull-outs, and lighting layered over every work surface. Every project gets the full-remodel standard on our kitchen remodeling service page.
On budget: most full kitchen remodels in the Mountlake Terrace 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 Mountlake Terrace; we prepare the application, carry fees in an itemized written estimate, and meet every inspection, as on all our Mountlake Terrace projects. With Link light rail now stopping in the middle of town, more owners are remodeling to stay — and pairing the bathroom with the kitchen while the trades are mobilized is the common move; see our Mountlake Terrace bathroom remodeling page.

Mountlake Terrace kitchen remodeling questions
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Mountlake Terrace?
Most full kitchen remodels in the Mountlake Terrace 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 the kitchen in our Mountlake Terrace rambler?
Yes — that’s the signature project here. The wall between a rambler’s kitchen and living room is often load-bearing, so the opening gets a properly engineered beam — sized, permitted, and inspected — and the kitchen, dining space, and living room finally work as one room. Our load-bearing wall guide walks through how the structural work is priced.
How long does a kitchen remodel take in Mountlake Terrace?
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 Mountlake Terrace?
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 Mountlake Terrace — we handle the application, include the fees in your estimate, and meet every inspector on site.
