A kitchen that works the way you cook

Every kitchen we take on starts with the same question: what is not working today? The answer decides whether you need a refresh, new cabinets or a whole new layout.

Census figures put the median Reno home at 1989, with 38% of the housing stock built before 1980.

Your quote lists cabinets, counters, labor and every other part separately, so there is nothing to decode.

What makes Reno kitchens different

About 49% of Reno homes are owner-occupied, and the median home value is around $498,600, so a well-planned kitchen protects a real investment.

The older the house, the more likely the walls hold surprises such as old wiring or corroded pipes, which is why our quotes list a clear allowance for them.

We remodel kitchens across Reno, including Damonte Ranch, Double Diamond, Caughlin Ranch, South Meadows, Northwest Reno and Somersett.

Local tips

  • Low humidity is kind to cabinets and wood floors, but big day-night temperature swings make sealed, stable materials a smart choice.
  • Reno sits at about 4,500 feet in the high desert, with strong sun, low humidity and freezing winter nights.
  • Spring and fall are the busiest seasons for home projects; booking early helps.

Do you need a permit in Reno?

Kitchen work that changes plumbing, electrical or gas lines, or moves walls, needs a permit; cabinets, countertops and paint on their own usually do not. Reno reviews new work against the 2024 building codes adopted on July 1, 2025.

Nevada requires a contractor license for work of $1,000 or more in labor and materials combined, and for any job that needs a building permit or involves plumbing, electrical, heating or air-conditioning work, whatever the price (NRS 624.031).

Kitchen Remodeling questions, answered

What does a kitchen remodel cost in Reno?

Most medium kitchens land in one of three bands: $11,500–$26,000 for a refresh, $27,000–$61,000 for a full replacement in the same layout, and $55,000–$129,000 for a custom remodel. Cabinets and layout changes move the number most.

Does a kitchen remodel need a permit in Reno?

Kitchen work that changes plumbing, electrical or gas lines, or moves walls, needs a permit; cabinets, countertops and paint on their own usually do not. Reno reviews new work against the 2024 building codes adopted on July 1, 2025. Questions go to the City of Reno Building Division at (775) 334-2063.

What license should a kitchen contractor have in Nevada?

Nevada requires a contractor license for work of $1,000 or more in labor and materials combined, and for any job that needs a building permit or involves plumbing, electrical, heating or air-conditioning work, whatever the price (NRS 624.031). You can look up any contractor on the Nevada State Contractors Board website before you sign.

Which is better for a kitchen, quartz or granite?

They cost about the same installed. Pick quartz for low upkeep and a uniform look, granite for natural veining and better tolerance of heat.

Will I be able to cook during the remodel?

For a refresh, often partly. For a full remodel, plan on a temporary kitchen elsewhere in the house for a few weeks.

What can make a kitchen remodel cost more than planned?

Hidden problems and changes of mind. In older homes, opening walls can turn up outdated wiring, galvanized pipes or ungrounded outlets that have to be brought up to code; a good quote names this risk up front. Keeping 10–15% of the budget in reserve covers most of it.

Is a kitchen remodel worth it for resale?

Smaller, mid-range kitchen remodels consistently rank among the projects that recoup the largest share of their cost at resale in the Cost vs Value report, while large upscale remodels recoup less. If you plan to sell soon, a refresh usually pays back best.

Where should most of a kitchen budget go?

Start from the level of remodel, then decide where to spend: cabinets and counters you touch every day are usually worth it; trendy finishes less so.

Is it worth changing my kitchen layout?

It can be, but it is the fastest way to grow a budget, because plumbing, gas, venting and wiring all have to follow. Often better storage or an island fixes the problem for less.

How do I get an exact price from Reno Kitchen Co.?

Send the form or call. After a walkthrough you get a written quote that breaks the work down by cabinets, counters, labor and the rest, so you can compare it fairly.
