Kitchen remodeling in Renton.
Renton’s housing runs deeper than almost anywhere in King County — post-war homes in the Highlands, mid-century view houses in Kennydale, ’80s and ’90s plats across Benson Hill — and a remarkable number still have the kitchen the house came with. Go Far Construction delivers full kitchen remodels across Renton — custom cabinetry, stone counters, opened-up layouts with properly engineered beams — from a family-owned, licensed Washington general contractor with 12+ years on homes across King and Snohomish counties.
The housing stock sets the work. In the post-war homes of the Highlands and Renton Hill, the kitchen is a closed galley with a doorway at each end; the project that changes the house takes that wall down onto an engineered beam — sized, permitted, and inspected — so the kitchen finally joins the living room, with an island or peninsula where the wall used to be. Our load-bearing wall guide covers the structural piece. In the ’80s and ’90s plats of Benson Hill and Fairwood’s edge, the oak-and-laminate kitchen usually keeps its footprint and gets the full gut — cabinets to the ceiling, quartz or granite counters, and lighting that does real work. In Kennydale, the remodel earns the view the house already paid for. All of it gets the full-remodel standard on our kitchen remodeling service page.
On budget: most full kitchen remodels in the Renton 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.
Permits for structural, electrical, and plumbing changes run through the City of Renton; we prepare the application, carry fees in an itemized written estimate, and meet every inspection, as on all our Renton projects. Remodeling the bathroom while the trades are mobilized is a common pairing — see our Renton bathroom remodeling page.

Renton kitchen remodeling questions
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Renton?
Most full kitchen remodels in the Renton 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 galley kitchen in a Highlands post-war home?
That’s the signature Renton project. The wall between the galley kitchen and the living room in these homes is usually load-bearing, so the opening gets a properly engineered beam — sized, permitted, and inspected — with an island or peninsula where the wall used to be. Our load-bearing wall guide walks through how the structural work is priced.
How long does a kitchen remodel take in Renton?
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 Renton?
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 Renton — we handle the application, include the fees in your estimate, and meet every inspector on site.
