Our signature 10-Day Package is completed in exactly 10 consecutive business days. This is a fixed-guarantee express service. However, a more complex Custom Kitchen Remodel will extend beyond 10 days depending on the structural changes, high-end customization, and permitting required.
-
We achieve this 10-business-day turnaround by pre-staging all materials and using a specialized workflow. If your project requires moving load-bearing walls, relocating plumbing/gas, or unique custom cabinetry, it falls into our Custom Remodel tier, which follows a personalized schedule.
-
Yes, homeowners typically stay in their residence throughout the remodeling process. Whether you choose the 10-business-day express track or a custom build, we use dust barriers and efficient workflows to keep your home as livable as possible.

The Kitchen Work Triangle is a design rule that places the sink, cooktop, and fridge in a triangle for maximum efficiency. Our designers use this standard for both 10-day packages and custom designs to ensure your new kitchen is highly functional and easy to use.

Shaker-style cabinets with light finishes are the best choice for small kitchens in the South Sound area. They reflect light, create an open feel, and are available in our 10-Day Package for a fast, affordable upgrade.
-
If your layout, plumbing, and appliances are in good shape, a cabinet refresh or refacing is often the smarter investment. However, if your kitchen feels cramped, outdated, or inefficient, a full remodel from our Lacey showroom will deliver the best long-term value.

KITCHEN REMODELING
-
Standard bathroom renovation typically takes 10 to 15 business days. The exact duration depends on the scope; a "pull-and-replace" update is faster, while a full custom overhaul with layout changes or walk-in showers in Pierce or Thurston County will require a tailored timeline.

We recommend Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) or Porcelain Tile for maximum water resistance. Both options are durable, easy to clean, and available to see in our Lacey showroom.

-
Replacing your vanity, fixtures, and flooring is the most cost-effective way to transform a bathroom in the South Sound area. This targeted refresh can be completed quickly and delivers a dramatic visual improvement without a full gut renovation.
-
Large-format porcelain tiles, frameless glass shower enclosures, and wall-mounted vanities are the best design choices for making a small bathroom feel spacious. Our designers at our Lacey showroom can walk you through these options in person.
