Kitchen Remodeling in Pittsburgh.
From a cabinet-and-counter refresh to a full gut renovation that opens the kitchen to the rest of the house — a Pittsburgh kitchen remodeling contractor that quotes honestly, manages the disruption, and finishes on the timeline we promised.
Pittsburgh kitchen remodels, scoped to how you actually cook and live.
A kitchen renovation in Pittsburgh can mean three very different projects, and the first thing we do is figure out which one you actually need — not the one that runs up the biggest invoice. Whether it’s a cosmetic refresh on a sound layout, a mid-range remodel with new cabinets and counters, or a full-gut conversion to an open concept, we price all three honestly so you can see the real cost difference before anything is demoed.
We handle kitchen remodeling across the city and the North Hills — Squirrel Hill, Shadyside, Lawrenceville, Bloomfield, the Strip District, Mt. Washington, and out to Wexford. Every project starts with a design conversation, a fixed scope, and a realistic timeline.
Cosmetic refresh
Cabinet refacing or repainting, new countertops and backsplash, updated hardware, lighting, and fixtures — a transformed kitchen on the existing footprint.
Mid-range remodel
New cabinetry, quartz or stone counters, flooring, lighting, and appliances, with minor layout tweaks like relocating a sink or widening a doorway.
Full gut & open-concept
Walls down, layout reworked, kitchen opened to the dining and living space — custom cabinetry, islands, and the structural and electrical work to back it up.
Cabinets & countertops
Semi-custom and custom cabinetry, quartz, granite, and butcher block, plus tile and slab backsplashes. We bring samples to the first visit.
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Pittsburgh?
Real Pittsburgh-market ranges for a typical 150–220 sq ft kitchen, installed. Your number depends on cabinet quality, countertop material, layout changes, and appliance tier — we quote a fixed price after a site visit, not by the square foot alone.

Estimates for planning only — every kitchen is quoted individually after a walkthrough.
From dated and closed-off to bright, modern, and open.
A tired, dark kitchen taken back to the studs and rebuilt with walnut cabinetry, quartz counters, and a layout that finally works — the kind of transformation we run across Pittsburgh every season.
The kitchen remodeling process — scoped before demo day.
Design & selections
We measure, talk through how you use the kitchen, and lay out the options — cabinets, counters, appliances, lighting — with real prices on each. You approve a fixed scope before we order anything.
Demo, permits & rough-in
We pull permits where the work requires them (moving walls, plumbing, or electrical), protect the rest of your home, demo cleanly, and get the rough plumbing, electrical, and any framing inspected before we close anything up.
Cabinets, counters & finish
Cabinets set and leveled, counters templated and installed, backsplash, flooring, lighting, and hardware. We walk a punch list with you and don’t call it done until you would.

Kitchen remodel questions Pittsburgh homeowners actually ask.
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Pittsburgh?
Most Pittsburgh kitchen remodels run about $15,000–$30,000 for a cosmetic refresh, $30,000–$70,000 for a mid-range remodel with new cabinets and counters, and $70,000–$150,000+ for a full gut with a reworked, open-concept layout. The exact cost depends on cabinet quality, countertop material, whether the layout changes, and appliance tier. We quote a fixed price after a walkthrough.
How long does a kitchen remodel take?
A cosmetic refresh is typically 2–4 weeks. A mid-range remodel runs 6–10 weeks, and a full gut with layout changes 10–16 weeks. Cabinet and countertop lead times drive the schedule, so we order early and give you a week-by-week plan before demo starts.
Can you change the layout or open up the kitchen?
Yes. Opening a kitchen to the dining or living area is one of the most common Pittsburgh requests — especially in older rowhouses and four-squares. We confirm which walls are load-bearing, engineer a beam where needed, handle the permits, and reroute plumbing and electrical so the new layout actually works.
Can I stay in my home during the remodel?
Most clients do. We set up a temporary kitchen space, seal off the work zone with dust barriers, protect floors and pathways, and clean up daily. We’ll be honest up front about the stretch — usually a couple of weeks — when the kitchen is fully out of commission.
Do you do cabinet refacing, or only full replacement?
Both. If your cabinet boxes are sound and the layout works, refacing or repainting with new doors and hardware is a far cheaper way to transform the kitchen. If the boxes are failing or you want a new layout, full replacement is the better long-term value. We’ll tell you honestly which one your kitchen calls for.
Do you handle both kitchen and bathroom remodels together?
We do — combining a kitchen and bathroom remodel into one project often saves on shared demo, permits, and crew mobilization. Ask about a kitchen-and-bath package when we scope your project.
