Most Wichita remodelers split their crews across bathrooms, basements, and additions. We don't. Every one of our 350+ completed projects since 2015 has been a kitchen, which means our installers have hung thousands of cabinet boxes, scribed dozens of countertop overhangs, and seen every electrical and plumbing surprise an older Wichita home can hide. That focus is why our average punch-list at final walk-through has fewer than 4 items.
The 2024 Remodeling Cost vs. Value Report shows minor kitchen remodels in our region recover 96.1% of project cost at resale - the highest ROI of any home improvement category. Our clients in Wichita's growing suburbs (Maize, Andover, Bel Aire) have seen multiple-offer situations specifically tied to their remodeled kitchens. We design with both daily use and resale in mind, balancing personal style against the buyer-friendly choices that hold value.
Every install - cabinets, counters, tile, lighting, flooring - is backed by our lifetime workmanship warranty for as long as you own the home. If a drawer slide fails because we set it wrong, we fix it on our dime, ten years from now or twenty. Manufacturer warranties on cabinet boxes and stone slabs are passed through directly and registered on your behalf at the end of every project.

Eight problem patterns we see week after week - and how we approach each.
Wichita has a large stock of 1960s–80s ranch and split-level homes with kitchens walled off from the rest of the house. Opening up that wall - usually load-bearing - recovers 60-90 sq ft of usable space and dramatically improves resale appeal in suburbs like Bel Aire and Westlink.
Avg load-bearing beam install: 3 days, $4,500–$8,000Honey oak with raised-panel doors dominates Sedgwick County kitchens built between 1978 and 1995. The boxes are usually solid; the doors and finish are the problem. Cabinet refacing keeps the structure and replaces just the visible parts at roughly half the cost of full replacement.
Refacing avg cost vs. replacement: 40-50% savingsBubbling, lifting seams, and water damage at the sink edge are textbook signs of a 20+ year old laminate top reaching end of life. Replacement with quartz or granite typically takes 7-10 days from template to install. Quartz dominates our orders 4:1 over granite for new Wichita kitchens.
Quartz lifespan: 25-50+ years; granite: 50-100 yearsOlder Wichita homes were wired before kitchens needed dedicated 20-amp small-appliance circuits, GFCI protection, and under-cabinet task lighting. The 2023 NEC requires GFCI on every counter outlet, AFCI on most circuits, and a dedicated circuit for the dishwasher, microwave, and disposal each. We rewire to current code on every full remodel.
Code requires GFCI within 6 ft of any sink (NEC 210.8)Kitchens in homes under 1,800 sq ft frequently lack any pantry. We solve this with floor-to-ceiling cabinet pantries (84" or 96" tall units), pull-out drawer banks instead of shelves, and toe-kick storage drawers that recover 4 inches of dead space across the base run.
A 24" pantry cabinet adds 18 cu ft of organized storageWichita's clay-heavy soil shifts seasonally, which can deflect older subfloors enough to crack tile and pop seams. We pull a level on every kitchen floor before quoting flooring; if deflection exceeds 1/8" over 10 ft we add layout-grade plywood or self-leveling underlayment before any finish flooring goes down.
Floor-flatness tolerance for tile: 1/4" over 10 ft (TCNA)Galvanized supply lines and cast iron drains under sinks are still common in pre-1985 Wichita homes. We swap out compromised lines while the cabinets are off the wall - it costs almost nothing extra at that stage and prevents an emergency call 3 years post-remodel.
Galvanized pipe lifespan: 40-50 years (often exceeded)Appliances bundled by builders in 2005–2012 are hitting end of life simultaneously. We coordinate cabinetry to fit the current generation of standard sizes (which have changed - counter-depth fridges are now 30-36" instead of 35.5") and handle paneled-appliance integration when clients want a built-in look.
Avg residential appliance lifespan: 9-13 years (NAHB)From cosmetic refreshes to full down-to-studs renovations.
Down-to-studs renovations with new layout, cabinets, counters, flooring, lighting, and appliances. Average project: 8-10 weeks of active work. We pull all permits, coordinate every trade, and hand you back a kitchen that looks 10 years newer than it is. See full remodel scope →
Major mid-range remodel ROI: 49.5% nationally (CvV 2024)Built-to-fit cabinets in maple, oak, cherry, walnut, and painted MDF. Soft-close drawers and doors are standard, dovetail drawer boxes optional, and we maintain stock of common door styles for warranty service in years 5–10. Cabinet styles & options →
Custom cabinet lifespan: 50+ years with minor maintenanceKeep solid existing cabinet boxes, replace doors, drawer fronts, and exterior veneer. Typical project: 4-7 days from start to finish at roughly 40-50% the cost of new cabinets. Best for homes built 1985-2010 where boxes are square and structurally sound. Refacing details →
Refacing waste: ~75% less landfill than replacementQuartz (the modern standard for kitchens), granite, marble, butcher block, and porcelain slab. We template digitally, fabricate locally, and install with proper underlayment and seams placed where they're least visible. Counter-only projects finish in 7-10 days from contract to install. Counter materials →
Quartz hardness: 7 on Mohs scale (steel knife: 5.5)Standalone islands sized 4-12 ft long with seating overhangs, prep sinks, induction cooktops, microwave drawers, and dedicated trash pull-outs. We engineer counter overhangs to support seated weight without corbels - usually with steel plates concealed in the cabinet structure. Island design →
Code-required clearance around an island: 42-48" minimumSubway, mosaic, slab backsplashes; tile, LVP, and engineered hardwood floors. Every install includes proper underlayment, expansion gaps, and waterproofing where required. Backsplash-only projects: 2-4 days. Flooring: 4-7 days depending on subfloor prep. Tile work → · Flooring →
Tile expected lifespan: 50+ years; LVP: 15-25 yearsLayered lighting with separate dimmer-controlled circuits for ambient, task, and accent. We typically wire 4-6 lighting zones in a remodel, run dedicated circuits for under-cabinet LED strips, and add toe-kick lighting in luxury builds. All wiring is done by Kansas-licensed electricians on permit. Lighting plans →
DOE: LED uses 75% less energy than incandescentFull 3D modeling of your proposed kitchen before any product is ordered. You see every cabinet, every counter seam, and every appliance placement in walk-through video before signing off. Most clients catch 2-3 changes at the rendering stage that would cost real money to fix on site. Design process →

"They tore out a wall, ran new electrical, installed quartz counters and custom maple cabinets - finished four days ahead of schedule. Crew was on time every morning and cleaned up every night."Sarah M.Andover · Full Remodel
"Got bids from three companies. KRW's quote was itemized down to the trim screw - the others were three-line summaries. Pricing was middle of the pack but the level of detail won me over."David L.Maize · Cabinet Refacing
"3D renderings let me change the island shape twice before anything was ordered. The kitchen we ended up with is genuinely better than what I asked for at the start."Jennifer R.Derby · Island & Counters
Wichita kitchen remodels typically run between $15,000 for a minor refresh (cabinet refacing, new counters, fixtures) and $80,000+ for a full gut renovation with custom cabinets, quartz counters, and a moved-wall layout. Most mid-range projects in our service area land between $35,000 and $55,000. We provide itemized quotes - never "ballpark" guesses - after a free in-home measurement.
From signed scope to final walk-through we typically run 6 to 12 weeks. Cabinet refacing or counter-only projects finish in 1 to 2 weeks. Full remodels with structural changes, custom cabinetry, and stone counters average 8 to 10 weeks of active work after a 4 to 6 week design and ordering phase.
Yes - anything that touches plumbing, electrical, gas, or load-bearing walls requires permits through the Wichita Metropolitan Area Building and Construction Department (MABCD). Cosmetic work like cabinet refacing or counter swaps usually does not. We pull permits and coordinate inspections on every project that needs them.
Yes. We offer financing through reputable home-improvement lenders with terms ranging from 12-month 0% promotional periods to 60-120 month fixed-rate plans. Pre-qualification takes about 60 seconds and does not impact your credit score. See financing options →
According to the 2024 Cost vs. Value Report, minor kitchen remodels in the West North Central region recover 96.1% of their cost at resale and major mid-range remodels recover 49.5%. Wichita's market trends slightly above national averages thanks to lower base material costs and steady housing demand in suburbs like Andover, Maize, and Derby.
Yes. We carry general liability insurance, workers' compensation coverage on every employee on site, and hold a contractor's license valid for residential remodeling in Sedgwick County. Certificates of insurance are available before any contract is signed.
We handle full design in-house. Every project starts with a free in-home consultation, followed by 3D renderings of your proposed layout before any cabinets are ordered. You don't need to bring drawings, floor plans, or material selections - though if you have inspiration photos we'll use them.
Yes, almost all of our clients do. We set up a temporary kitchen station (microwave, fridge, sink access where possible), seal off the work zone with plastic and zipper doors to control dust, and protect adjacent flooring. Expect 2 to 3 weeks without a working main kitchen during the cabinet/counter install window.
Free in-home estimate. 3D renderings included. Financing available with 60-second pre-qualification.
