The growth of Eastmont in the last few decades is a classic example of the suburbanization of the Everett area, with families moving out of Everett proper to larger lots with convenient access to the Boeing Everett plant and Providence Regional Medical Center Everett. But many of these homes had traditional, closed-off builder-grade kitchens that don't match the modern needs of cooking and entertaining.
New Day Construction does kitchen remodels for Eastmont homeowners when they want to upgrade the original kitchen layouts to something more open and functional. All projects are approached as providing a very specific service to the particular household.
A Realistic Budget Guide for Your Eastmont Kitchen Remodel
Budgeting realistically requires defining the scope of work prior to making finish selections. A cosmetic kitchen remodel with new paint, hardware and lighting fixtures is less expensive than full remodel that changes plumbing, walls, etc. Often the complexity of electrical work can be the wild card in the mix.
Where most of the budget is spent on cabinet and countertop selections, this is when you will see the material selection budget vary (laminate vs quartz, stock vs custom, etc.). We provide a written estimate prior to demolition with labor, material, and permit costs adequately defined. This should provide you with an investment amount reflective of the actual scope of work.
Custom Kitchen Design: Cabinets, Countertops, and Layout
Cabinet colors are nice, but first you need to focus on the layout of the kitchen. Custom means starting with the traffic flow between the stove, sink, and fridge. Then it goes to storage and countertops around that flow to make sure nothing is forced.
Then you can get more into cabinetry styles and colors, as well as finishing choices. Shaker doors, painted or natural wood cabinets, and quartz / granite / butcherblock countertops. It all depends on daily usage and function. A tile / stone backsplash, improved lighting, and well-thought-out drawer design for tools and cooking implements and pans can make your kitchen function better the next day even if you're doing one change at a time.
If you're going for timeless appeal, go with simple cabinet colors and hardware. Trendy color palettes won't last.
Kitchen Remodeling Process, From Permit to Punch List
Since Eastmont is an unincorporated area of Snohomish County, permits are required for kitchen remodels involving plumbing/electrical/structural walls in the county, which we handle as part of the contract. Once it's done, demo and rough plumbing come first, followed by installation of cabinets/countertops/backsplash. But the most important thing to consider is the lead times for materials, especially for custom cabinets and stone countertops. We order those early and sequence the rest of the work around their delivery dates.
Small Upgrade or Full Kitchen Remodel?
A kitchen in Eastmont can get a second life without a full remodel. If the layout already works just fine for the household, targeted updates like new hardware, under-cabinet lighting, and replacing the backsplash can freshen up the space at a fraction of the cost.
Bigger changes are a different beast. Adding island, opening wall to dining room or moving the sink is full kitchen remodel territory, since those involve real construction, etc. The approach starts with an honest first walkthrough, then we shape the plan around the household's actual lifestyle.
