Kitchen Remodeling for Tacoma's Craftsman Homes

I have remodeled dozens of kitchens across Tacoma's North End, Stadium District, and Proctor neighborhoods. Many of these homes were built in the 1920s and 1930s, and they share a common problem: galley kitchens that feel cramped for modern living. I specialize in opening up these tight layouts by removing non-load-bearing walls or installing properly sized headers so you get an open-concept kitchen without compromising the home's structural integrity. Over 20 years in the trades, I have learned how to work with old framing, lath-and-plaster walls, and the surprises that come with homes that are 100 years old.

Tacoma's craftsman bungalows have beautiful bones, but their kitchens were designed for a different era. I have converted more than 30 galley kitchens into open layouts that connect to the dining or living area. That kind of conversion typically runs 3 to 5 weeks and includes new cabinetry, countertops, flooring, lighting, and often a kitchen island. I handle the plumbing, electrical coordination, drywall, and finish carpentry in-house, so you deal with one crew from start to finish.

Tacoma's building permit process goes through the City of Tacoma Planning and Development Services. Permits are required for any structural changes, electrical work, or plumbing relocation. I handle the permit application and inspections so you do not have to chase paperwork. If your home sits in one of Tacoma's historic districts, I am familiar with the additional review steps and design guidelines those projects require.
