What We Remodel

(And Why Our Process Works)

We also handle full interior updates inside your existing footprint. No new additions, just smart, transformative remodeling that makes every square foot count.



  • Cabinetry options: New custom or semi-custom cabinets, soft-close hardware, cabinet painting or refacing for budget-savvy makeovers
  • Counters & islands: Durable quartz, granite, butcher block, or solid surface with purposeful edges and overhangs for seating
  • Backsplash & walls: Subway, mosaic, large-format tile, plus professional prep, priming, and painting (our specialty)
  • Flooring built for Nebraska seasons: Luxury vinyl plank, tile, or engineered wood that stands up to snow-day traffic and summer heat
  • Lighting & electrical: Layered lighting plans (ambient, task, accent), under-cabinet LEDs, code-compliant upgrades
  • Plumbing fixtures & sinks: Workstation sinks, disposals, touch-activated faucets, water-saving options
  • Storage you’ll actually use: Pull-outs, tray dividers, roll-outs, spice pull-outs, deep drawers for pots and pans
  • Finish carpentry: Trim, crown, and fine finishing for a polished look throughout

Our step-by-step process keeps your project organized and on schedule:


  1. Discovery & design notes – We discuss your wish list, must-haves, and budget at your Kearney home.
  2. Selections & scope – We guide you through materials that match how you cook and clean (and hold up to Huskers game-day crowds).
  3. Plan & protect – We set a clear timeline and protect floors, walkways, and adjacent rooms before work begins.
  4. Build & coordinate – Licensed trade partners, precise installation, and daily site clean-ups.
  5. Final finish – Our painting expertise ties the whole room together with crisp lines and durable coatings.

Built for Life in Central Nebraska

Kearney kitchens work overtime, from canning garden produce to hosting holiday breakfasts when the wind is howling off the river. We recommend materials that thrive in local conditions: easy-clean backsplashes for dustier stretches, moisture-tough flooring for slush and snow, and cabinet finishes that resist the sun streaming through west-facing windows. Whether you’re in a historic neighborhood near Downtown Kearney, a newer home around Lake Kearney, or a farmhouse on the edge of town, we tailor every recommendation to your home and habits.

Design Details That Make a Big Difference

Little decisions add up to big daily wins:


  • Work triangle or work zones: We optimize flow between sink, cooktop, and refrigerator. Or we can set distinct bake, prep, and coffee zones.
  • Right-sized island: Seating that doesn’t block the dishwasher door, charging drawers for devices, and a trash pull-out where you actually need it.
  • Easy-care finishes: Matte or honed counters that hide fingerprints, grout colors that resist staining, and paint sheens that wipe clean.
  • Lighting layers: Pendants for style, under-cabinet strips for prep, and dimmers for late-night snacks after a Storm Hockey game.

FAQs: Kitchen Remodeling in Kearney

  • Is $10,000 enough for a kitchen remodel?

    $10,000 can fund a focused refresh: think cabinet painting or refacing, new hardware, a budget-friendly countertop, a backsplash, and lighting upgrades. It typically won’t cover a full gut with new cabinets and premium counters, but it’s a solid budget for high-impact cosmetic improvements.

  • What is the most expensive part of redoing a kitchen?

    Cabinetry usually takes the biggest slice of the budget, followed by countertops and then labor. If you love your layout and cabinet boxes, painting or refacing can free up funds for better counters, fixtures, and lighting.

  • How much does a kitchen remodel cost near me?

    Ballparks vary with scope and selections in Kearney:


    • Refresh (keep layout & cabinets): ~$8K–$20K
    • Mid-range (mix of new cabinets/counters): ~$25K–$50K
    • Major remodel (new layout, cabinets, tops, flooring, trades): $60K+ We’ll provide a line-item estimate after your in-home visit so you can prioritize what matters most.

  • What is a realistic budget for a kitchen remodel?

    A common guideline is 5–15% of your home’s value. For many Kearney homes, planning $25K–$60K covers a quality mid-range result. We also offer phased upgrades: start with cabinets and counters now, then add backsplash and lighting later.

  • How long will my kitchen be out of service?

    Smaller refreshes can wrap in 1–3 weeks. Mid-range to major remodels typically run 4–8+ weeks depending on lead times and scope. We set a realistic schedule up front and keep you cooking with temporary setups when possible.


  • Do you handle permits and licensed trades?

    Yes. We coordinate permits when required and work with licensed electricians and plumbers. You’ll have one point of contact for scheduling and quality control.



  • Can you match existing finishes in an older Kearney home?

    Absolutely. Our painting and finishing background helps us blend new trim profiles, sheens, and stain colors so updates look native to your house.



  • What upgrades deliver the best value in Central Nebraska?

    Cabinet improvements, durable counters, quality LVP or tile flooring, and better lighting consistently pay off, in daily use and resale.
