A licensed Eastside crew, start to finish
You want a kitchen that works for how you actually cook and live — done right, on a schedule you can plan around, by someone you can actually reach. Seven General Contractors is a licensed Washington remodeler based in Woodinville and serving the whole Eastside. We handle the whole job — design, demolition, plumbing, electrical, cabinetry, and finish — with one crew and one point of contact, so nothing falls through the cracks between trades.
Remodeling a kitchen in Woodinville: what's different here
Woodinville is our home base, and its housing is younger than its neighbors': the median home dates to 1995 and only about 1 in 5 homes (19.5%) predates 1980. Woodinville's horse ranches gave way to subdivisions starting in the late 1970s and accelerating through the 1980s — so the typical remodel here is a builder-grade 1990s bathroom or kitchen that's structurally sound but tired, rather than a gut job chasing old wiring.
Woodinville's code exempts cabinets, countertops, tiling, and similar finish work, but plumbing, gas, and electrical changes follow the state rules — and electrical permits here come from WA L&I, not the city. Starting permit-required work before the permit is issued costs an investigation fee equal to the permit fee, which is one reason we never start early.

What's included: design → demo → build
1. Design & scope (week 1–4)
We measure on-site, talk through layout, cabinetry, and appliances, and hand you a written scope with a fixed price — not a vague ballpark. If permits are needed, we pull them with the City of Woodinville (electrical permits come from WA L&I), or with the county for unincorporated addresses. You see the cabinet, countertop, and appliance selections before anything is ordered — and we flag cabinetry lead times up front, since they're usually the longest pole in the schedule.
2. Demolition & rough-in (days, not weeks)
We protect floors and pathways, demo the old kitchen, and handle plumbing and electrical rough-in — including moving a sink, range, or island circuit if your new layout calls for it. Anything we open up — old leaks, rot, bad wiring — we show you before we cover it back up.
3. Build & finish (weeks 5–9)
Cabinetry, countertops, backsplash, appliances, paint, and a final walkthrough. We don't call it done until you've checked it with us in person.
Transparent cost ranges
Every kitchen is priced from an on-site estimate, but here's the honest range for the Eastside so you can plan:
| Project type | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Cosmetic refresh (refaced/painted cabinets, new counters, new appliances, same layout) | $15,000 – $30,000 |
| Full mid-range remodel (new cabinets, counters, island, flooring, appliances) | $30,000 – $70,000 |
| High-end or layout change (move plumbing/electrical, open a wall, custom cabinetry, premium appliances) | $70,000 – $130,000+ |
What moves the number: cabinetry and countertop selections, appliance tier, and whether plumbing, electrical, or a wall has to move. Your written estimate locks the scope and price before work starts.

Timeline: what to expect
Most full kitchen remodels run 6–10 weeks on site once materials and cabinetry are in. A rough schedule:
Cosmetic refreshes (refacing, countertop swap, new appliances) can wrap in 1–3 weeks. We give you the real schedule in writing, including cabinetry order dates — and tell you the day before if anything shifts. The step-by-step schedule is on our kitchen remodeling page.

Straight answers to the questions Woodinville homeowners ask before hiring
Most Woodinville and Eastside kitchen remodels run $30,000–$70,000 for a full mid-range job, with cosmetic refreshes starting near $15,000 and high-end or layout-changing projects reaching $130,000+. The biggest cost drivers are your cabinetry and countertop selections, appliance tier, and whether plumbing or electrical has to move. We give you a fixed written price from a free on-site estimate, so you're not guessing.
For cabinets and countertops, no — Woodinville exempts them. If plumbing, gas, or electrical moves, yes: those follow state rules, and the electrical permit comes from WA L&I. Seven pulls whatever the job needs and handles inspections, and we don't start permit-required work before the permit is issued.
Usually not. About 80% of Woodinville homes were built after 1980, so the framing, wiring, and supply lines are often in good shape; the dated parts are builder-grade finishes, fiberglass surrounds, and layouts. That means many projects here can keep the plumbing where it is and put the budget into tile, fixtures, and storage — we'll tell you honestly at the walkthrough which kind of job yours is.
