Jasper Homes has remodeled kitchens across Pullman, Moscow, Colfax, and the broader Palouse region since 2003. As a design-build firm, we handle every phase under one roof: design, permits, trade coordination, and construction. That means one point of contact, one schedule, and no finger-pointing between a designer and a contractor who have never worked together before.
Kitchen remodeling in Pullman, WA typically costs between $28,000 and $100,000, depending on scope, layout changes, and finish selections. This page covers what drives that range, what Jasper’s process looks like from first conversation to final walkthrough, and how to figure out which scope is right for your home.
Quick answer: A mid-range kitchen remodel in Eastern Washington averages $28,000–$50,000 for same-footprint work with semi-custom cabinets, quartz countertops, and updated appliances. Major remodels with layout changes run $60,000–$100,000. Custom and luxury projects start at $120,000.
How Much Does a Kitchen Remodel Cost in Pullman, WA?
Eastern Washington costs run meaningfully below the Seattle metro for the same quality of work. Labor rates in the Pullman area are roughly 35–40% lower than Puget Sound, which translates directly into project budgets. The tradeoff is a smaller local contractor pool, which makes choosing the right firm more consequential.
The table below reflects realistic 2026 ranges for Pullman and the surrounding Palouse region. These figures include labor, materials, and standard appliances. Permits are additional and typically run $300–$800 depending on scope and whether structural or electrical work is involved.
| Remodel Scope | Eastern WA Range | What’s Included |
|---|---|---|
| Cosmetic refresh | $8,000–$15,000 | Paint, hardware, lighting, minor fixtures — no cabinet replacement |
| Mid-range remodel | $28,000–$50,000 | Semi-custom cabinets, quartz counters, mid-tier appliances, same layout |
| Major remodel | $60,000–$100,000 | Custom cabinets, premium finishes, layout changes, structural work |
| Luxury / custom | $120,000–$200,000 | Full custom cabinetry, premium stone, pro-grade appliances, full redesign |
What Moves the Number Most
Three line items drive the majority of kitchen remodel budgets:
- Cabinetry (30–35% of total cost). Stock cabinets run $4,000–$10,000 for a typical kitchen. Semi-custom options like KraftMaid or Diamond run $10,000–$22,000. Full custom from a local shop starts at $25,000 and climbs from there.
- Layout changes. Keeping the same footprint is the single biggest cost lever. Moving the sink adds $1,500–$3,000 in plumbing. Removing a load-bearing wall adds $4,000–$15,000 once engineering, beam installation, and refinishing are factored in.
- Appliances. A builder-grade package runs $3,000–$5,000. Mid-tier brands like Bosch or KitchenAid run $6,000–$12,000. Pro-grade appliances (Sub-Zero, Wolf, Thermador) start at $20,000 for a full suite.
The practical implication: a homeowner who keeps the same layout, chooses semi-custom cabinets, and selects mid-tier appliances will land in the $28,000–$50,000 range. The same project with a wall removal and custom cabinetry doubles.
What’s Included in a Jasper Homes Kitchen Remodel
Jasper approaches every kitchen remodel as a design-build project, not a construction-only job. That distinction matters because most remodel problems originate in the gap between design intent and construction reality. When the same team handles both, those gaps close before they become expensive change orders.
Scope of Work
A full kitchen remodel with Jasper covers:
- Design and space planning — layout evaluation, 3D visualization, material and finish selection
- Permit application and management — Jasper files with the City of Pullman or relevant jurisdiction and tracks approvals
- Demolition and site protection — protecting adjacent living areas during construction
- Cabinetry — supply and installation of semi-custom or full custom cabinetry
- Countertops — quartz, granite, marble, or butcher block fabrication and installation
- Appliance coordination — procurement scheduling and installation
- Flooring — hardwood, LVP, tile, or refinishing of existing floors
- Electrical and lighting — new circuits, under-cabinet lighting, updated fixtures
- Plumbing — sink, faucet, dishwasher, and any relocated supply or drain lines
- Backsplash and finish work — tile installation, trim, and paint
What Jasper Does Not Do
For smaller cosmetic refreshes (painting cabinets, swapping hardware, replacing a faucet), Jasper is not the right fit. The design-build model is built for projects where multiple trades need to be coordinated and where design decisions have structural or mechanical consequences. If your scope is genuinely a one-trade job, a handyman service will be faster and more cost-effective.
Service Area
Jasper serves Pullman, Moscow (ID), Colfax, Palouse, Albion, and surrounding Whitman County communities. Projects in Northern Idaho are evaluated case by case.
The Kitchen Remodel Process: From Consultation to Completion
Most homeowners have never managed a remodel before. The process below is how Jasper runs every kitchen project, from the first phone call through the final inspection.
Step 1: Initial Consultation (Week 1)
The first conversation covers your goals, your current kitchen’s constraints, and a realistic budget range. Jasper does not charge for initial consultations. By the end of this meeting, you will have a rough sense of scope and whether the project is a fit.
Step 2: Design and Scope Development (Weeks 2–5)
Jasper’s design team measures the space, evaluates structural conditions, and develops a layout. You will review 3D walkthroughs of proposed configurations before any material selections are finalized. This phase produces the drawings and specifications needed to pull permits and get accurate subcontractor bids.
Step 3: Permit Application (Weeks 4–6, overlapping with design)
Washington State requires permits for electrical work, plumbing modifications, gas lines, and any structural changes. Jasper handles the application to the City of Pullman Building Department or the relevant county authority. Permit approval in Pullman typically takes 2–4 weeks for standard residential remodels.
Step 4: Construction (6–14 Weeks Depending on Scope)
Jasper coordinates all trades: demo crew, framing (if structural work is needed), electricians, plumbers, cabinet installers, countertop fabricators, flooring, and finish carpenters. You have one point of contact throughout. Inspections are scheduled by Jasper and do not require homeowner involvement.
Step 5: Final Walkthrough and Punch List
Before the project closes, Jasper walks the completed kitchen with you to identify any items that need adjustment. Punch list items are resolved before final payment is collected.
Typical total timeline: 10–20 weeks from first consultation to project completion, depending on design complexity, permit timing, and material lead times. Custom cabinetry alone can add 8–12 weeks to a project schedule, which is worth factoring into your planning window.
