Full Kitchen Remodels for Gilbert Homes

A full remodel replaces nearly everything inside the kitchen and fixes the layout while the walls are open. It's the right call when storage, flow and finishes all fall short at once.

In Gilbert we often find a half-wall or pony wall between the kitchen and family room, a drywall soffit above the uppers, and an island set at an angle. Removing those three things changes the room more than any finish choice.

Moving a sink, adding an island circuit or running a gas line are the parts of a kitchen job the Town of Gilbert treats as permitted trade work. Its residential checklist asks for a gas or one-line diagram and product cut sheets with those applications, so we prepare them with the plan.

How We Run a Gilbert Remodel

  1. Measure and listen. We measure the room and ask how you cook, store and use the space on a school night.
  2. Layout and estimate. You get a drawn layout, material options and an itemized written estimate.
  3. Order and permit. Cabinets and appliances are ordered while the Town reviews any permit.
  4. Build. Tear-out first, then rough-in and inspections, then cabinets, stone tops and the finishing trades.
  5. Walkthrough. We walk the kitchen with you and close out every punch-list item.

Kitchen Remodeling Questions

What drives the price of a kitchen remodel in Gilbert?

It depends on how much changes. Keeping the sink and range in place costs less than moving them, and cabinet construction and countertop material move the number the most. We itemize every part after measuring.

Can the drywall box over my upper cabinets come out?

Usually. Some of those boxes are empty framing. Others carry an exhaust duct, a vent pipe or a water line, and those get rerouted once the drywall is open.

Is the wall between my kitchen and family room load-bearing?

Half-walls rarely are, but full walls can be. We check, and if it carries load, an engineered beam and a permit are part of the plan.

Do I have to move out?

No. Most Gilbert families stay home with a temporary kitchen set up in another room.
