The kitchen includes cabinets by Columbia in two different colors. The cabinets are maple with a furniture finish. Some of the upper cabinets were finished out with clear glass. The custom granite countertops installed by Bay Works unify the space with an eat-in area and dramatic lighting completes this lovely remodel. The Zephyr Venezia exhaust fan adds a nice finishing touch.

With sweeping views of the Willamette river and Mt. Hood, this Atwater Place condo was designed with a balance of minimalism and livability in mind. A complete kitchen remodel brought a dark interior kitchen to the light and a full furnishings package welcomed Los Angeles transplants home to their new modern and bright residence. Our clients, a retired camera operator for both feature films and television and a producer/production manager on numerous television series including Weeds and The Middle, relocated from their traditionally-styled LA bungalow to Portland in the Summer of 2014. The couple sought a design departure from their long-term California residence and a fresh start for their new life in the South Waterfront.
With only two pieces of sentimental furniture and a handful of artwork included in the plan, we set out to create a comfortable and clean-lined furnishings package complimenting the broad southeast views. Organically shaped upholstery pieces juxtaposed with angular steel and wood tables create a soft balance in the open floor plan. Several custom pieces, including a dining table designed by our studio and a custom hand-blown glass chandelier crafted by Scott Schiesel with Lightlite compliment timeless pieces from Knoll, Herman Miller, and B&B Italia.
The kitchen is designed to reflect light and create brilliance in a space that is otherwise naturally dark. A material balance of stainless steel, back painted glass, quartz composite, lacquer, and mirror all play their part in creating a vibrant cooking environment. We collectively decided to forgo the traditional island pendant for a linear commercial fixture that provides tremendous light to the prep surface and creates an unexpected architectural element. The mirrored prep island creates the illusion of open space while concealing casework and wine storage on the working side of the kitchen.
It is worth noting that this project was designed and installed almost entirely while our clients were still living in LA and wrapping up professional obligations and selling their home. This afforded us the tremendous opportunity to send our clients to showrooms not available in Portland to view key pieces before final specification. Textiles and finish samples were approved via mail and communication took place over e-mail, telephone, and an occasional office visit. This unique process lead to a successful result and a beautifully balanced living environment.

The Treehouse is the home I share with my daughter Miss Noa. It is our sanctuary and our refuge, our playhouse and our house of rest. It is carved out of the roof of a 100 year old craftsman home, so the spaces are all unique, and intimate, which I love. The colors I chose for the space are all slightly weathered as though they spent years in the sun. The vibe is bohemian, with all sorts of collected (Faith) and created (Noa) art. I have a passion for small spaces- they are just fun and playful, so to accentuate the element of play in the space we painted the ceiling with circus tent stripes in muted tones and turned my bedroom into a bedouin tent!

Tropical islands are the focal point for the design build of the acreage behind this stunning, Mediterranean-style home. The hardscape features a three level pool, including a toddler pool and a wading pool. Starting at the reef, there are three leaf petal loungers which allow you to recline in four to six inches of water at your feet. Limestone holy boulders are placed strategically along the edge for a natural element. A beautiful blend of earthy colors within the flagstone create a natural and rustic pool deck. All of the steps and bench seating inside the pool are also made of flagstone (custom fabricated flagstone coping for this project was completed on site). The toddler pool features fiber optic lighting which was installed at the bottom of the pool in the gunnite shell to create the reflection of a starry, celestial sky (fiber optic lighting can be used to create any number of shapes or constellations). An infinity edge crashes over beautiful stone and tile work, falling into a wading pool below. Another special feature is a water feature of riverstone cobbles sitting below dancing flames. Large stepping stones alongside this feature lead you to a lounge pool deck creating the feeling of an island retreat. Limestone slabs were used for a path of steps that take you through the landscaping back to the main house. A gazebo was added to hold an outdoor kitchen, an outdoor shower and a pool house with restrooms. All of the outdoor features are automated, allowing you to operate water temperature, fire features, water features, even the music and lighting from your smartphone.

Your kitchen is more than just a cooking space; it's the heart of your home—a place for family gatherings, shared meals, and unforgettable memories. If you're here, chances are you're dreaming of a kitchen upgrade that better serves your needs while enhancing its beauty and functionality. Whether you're aiming for a sleek modern design, a functional workspace, or a charming rustic vibe, finding the right kitchen remodel services is key to turning that dream into reality.
This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about choosing the best kitchen remodel near me. From understanding your specific needs to identifying reliable services, we've got you covered.
Understanding Your Unique Kitchen Remodeling Needs
Before hiring a kitchen remodel service, it’s essential to pinpoint why you're looking to remodel in the first place. Knowing your priorities will help you make informed decisions and ensure you choose a service that aligns with your vision.
1. Functionality Upgrades
Is your kitchen outdated or inefficient? Maybe you're dealing with limited countertop space or outdated appliances that make cooking a hassle. A remodel can help optimize the layout and incorporate modern solutions, such as smart appliances or ergonomic cabinets.
2. Aesthetic Enhancements
Perhaps you’re looking to give your kitchen a fresh, stylish look that reflects your personality. Whether it’s a chic industrial design or a cozy farmhouse style, professional remodelers can help bring your aesthetic dreams to life.
3. Improved Home Value
A beautifully renovated kitchen is one of the top features potential buyers look for. According to real estate experts, a well-designed kitchen remodel can deliver up to a 70%-80% return on investment.
4. Lifestyle Changes
Has your family grown? Do you cook at home more often now? Your kitchen should adapt to these shifts, accommodating more people or making meal prep seamless.
Clearly outlining your specific goals will make it easier to choose home remodeling contractor professionals who can meet (and exceed) your expectations.
Researching for the Best Kitchen Remodel Services Near Me
Once you’ve defined your needs, the next step is to start researching. But how do you pinpoint the best kitchen remodelers in your area? Here are actionable tips:
1. Read Reviews and Testimonials
Start by checking online reviews on platforms like Google, Yelp, and Houzz. Look for consistently positive feedback, with special attention paid to customer comments about quality, communication, and timelines.
2. Check Portfolios
A picture is worth a thousand words—and reading about a remodeling company’s success isn’t enough. Browse their portfolio to ensure the quality of their work aligns with what you’re envisioning.
3. Ask for Recommendations
Word of mouth is still one of the best ways to find trustworthy services. Ask friends, family, or coworkers if they’ve worked with a remodeling service they’d recommend.
4. Look for Professional Credentials
Make sure the companies you’re vetting hold all required licenses, certifications, and insurance. It’s a sign of their professionalism and ensures accountability.
5. Conduct Interviews
Consider meeting with a few top contenders. Ask about their experience, approach to projects similar to yours, and estimated costs. Don’t shy away from asking detailed questions—it’s important to feel confident in your choice.
By thoroughly researching, you'll narrow down your options and find a remodeler who matches your vision, budget, and style.
Key Factors to Consider Before Hiring
Deciding on the right kitchen remodel near me is about more than just skills. Here are some critical factors to weigh before signing any contracts.
1. Set a Clear Budget
It’s important to have a realistic budget in mind before you begin. A reliable remodeler will respect your financial boundaries and offer solutions that maximize your investment without overspending.
2. Outline Your Timeline
Discussing deadlines ensures the project starts and finishes on time. Make sure the remodeler can meet your schedule without compromising quality.
3. Communication is Key
Clear communication is essential. You want experts who listen carefully to your needs, explain their process, and keep you updated throughout the project.
4. Warranties and Guarantees
Always ask if the service provides warranties for craftsmanship and materials. It’s a sign they stand by the quality of their work.
