Trusted Kitchen Remodeling for Las Vegas Homeowners
A full kitchen remodel in Las Vegas typically costs $14,000-$45,000 and takes 4-8 weeks from demolition to final walkthrough, depending on layout changes and material selections. At Groundwork Construction Co., we’ve been transforming kitchens across the Las Vegas Valley since 2014, and our 730-Day Done Right Promise means if something isn’t right, we make it right without the runaround. Call (855) 951-4361 any time, day or night, and a live person will answer.
Las Vegas kitchens take a beating. Between the hard water that stains fixtures, the desert dust that infiltrates every crevice, and the intense summer heat that warps cabinets and degrades sealants faster than in milder climates, your kitchen ages differently here than almost anywhere else. We’ve rebuilt kitchens in Summerlin South where the west-facing windows had cooked the laminate countertops into peeling curls. We’ve gutted galley kitchens in Paradise where the original 1990s builder-grade cabinets had literally begun to separate at the seams from decades of expansion and contraction. And we’ve rescued half-finished contractor abandons in North Las Vegas where the previous “pro” took the deposit and vanished.
Our team doesn’t do surprises. We show up in uniform, background-checked, with upfront pricing that doesn’t balloon once demolition starts. From foundation to finish line, you deal with one contractor, one timeline, one accountability chain. That’s how we’ve built our reputation across Clark County for over 42 years of combined team experience.
What Our Kitchen Remodeling Service Includes
Full Kitchen Remodeling
Full Kitchen Remodeling means stripping the space to studs and rebuilding everything: electrical, plumbing, flooring, cabinets, countertops, lighting, and finishes. You need this when your kitchen’s systems are outdated, the layout doesn’t function, or you’re preparing the home for resale in competitive Las Vegas neighborhoods like Henderson or Enterprise. We handle permit pulling with the City of Las Vegas, coordinate all trade inspections, and manage material deliveries so your quartz slabs from Cambria arrive intact and on schedule.
Cabinets & Countertops
Cabinets & Countertops are the visual backbone of any kitchen, and they’re where homeowners feel the most decision fatigue. We guide you through KraftMaid’s semi-custom lines for standard layouts, or full custom builds for odd-angle kitchens common in older Paradise and Winchester homes. Our countertop fabrication partners template on-site for precision within 1/16 of an inch, critical when you’re investing in Cambria or granite that can’t be returned if mismeasured.
Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Backsplash, Tile & Flooring tie the room together and take the daily abuse of cooking, spills, and tracked desert sand. We install porcelain and ceramic tile backsplashes that withstand Las Vegas’s alkaline tap water without etching, and luxury vinyl plank or tile flooring that won’t crack from slab movement common in the valley’s expansive clay soils. In Spring Valley homes built on fill, we always verify subfloor flatness before laying large-format tile to prevent lippage and future cracking.
Kitchen Design & Layout
Kitchen design and layout services solve the “this kitchen just doesn’t work” problem without guessing. We measure traffic patterns, appliance clearances to code, and lighting levels, then produce 3D renderings so you see the finished space before demolition begins. This matters especially in smaller Las Vegas kitchens where moving a wall even 24 inches can transform functionality, or where load-bearing walls in ranch-style Whitney homes require engineered beam specifications.
Small & Partial Kitchen Remodels
Small and partial kitchen remodels target specific pain points: replacing cabinets while keeping appliances, updating countertops and backsplash only, or refacing existing boxes to stretch budget. These projects run $9,000-$20,000 and typically complete in 2-3 weeks. We’ve done dozens in Boulder City retirement communities where homeowners want modern function without the disruption of full construction, and in Enterprise townhomes where HOA rules limit work hours.
Cabinet Installation & Refacing
Cabinet Installation & Refacing are two distinct paths to the same refreshed look. New installation means custom or semi-custom boxes built to your space; refacing preserves existing cabinet structures while replacing doors, drawer fronts, and hardware. Refacing costs roughly 40-60% less and completes in under a week, ideal when your cabinet boxes are solid but the faces are dated. We only recommend refacing after inspecting for water damage behind sinks, a common find in older Sunrise Manor homes with original galvanized plumbing.
Quartz & Granite Countertops
Quartz and granite countertops each suit different Las Vegas lifestyles. Quartz resists staining from red wine and coffee but can discolor from prolonged heat, a real concern when outdoor kitchen prep migrates indoors during 110-degree days. Granite handles heat better but requires annual sealing to prevent absorption of oils and citrus acids. We source both through verified partners, template with digital measuring tools, and seam at structural points invisible to casual viewing.
Kitchen Island Installation
Kitchen island installation adds prep space, storage, and social gathering area, but requires careful planning for electrical and ventilation codes. Islands in open-concept Las Vegas homes often house cooktops with downdraft ventilation where overhead hoods would interrupt sightlines. We verify slab load capacity, run dedicated circuits for appliances, and ensure 36-inch minimum clearance on all working sides so your kitchen passes final inspection the first time.

Brands We Service for Kitchen Remodeling
We’ve installed hundreds of KraftMaid cabinet systems across the Las Vegas Valley, from their Vantage line in entry-level remodels to their custom Canvas collection in Summerlin South estates. Our designers know which KraftMaid finishes resist fading from southern exposure, a real consideration when your kitchen window faces the Mojave sun. We also specify Cambria quartz surfaces regularly, with direct relationships that let us offer exclusive patterns not available through big-box retailers, and we understand how Cambria’s brittleness requires specific support brackets for overhangs beyond 12 inches.
For outdoor kitchen extensions and structural concrete elements, we specify Sakrete mixes rated for our freeze-thaw cycles, rare but real in winter desert nights. Whether you have KraftMaid, Cambria, Sakrete, or any other make, we can source, install, and warranty the work. Our brand partnerships aren’t about logos on a truck, they’re about getting you materials that perform in Las Vegas conditions with backup if something fails.
Signs You Need Kitchen Remodeling Right Now
- Your cabinets are separating, warping, or won’t stay closed. In Las Vegas, the combination of dry winter air and summer humidity spikes causes wood cabinets to expand and contract repeatedly. Once the face frames crack or hinges strip out, repairs are temporary at best. We’ve replaced 30-year-old cabinets in Boulder City homes where the particleboard had essentially turned to sawdust.
- Your countertops have permanent stains, burns, or structural damage. Laminate countertops delaminate from heat and moisture penetration. Even solid surfaces develop problems: granite with unsealed areas absorbs oils, quartz with thermal shock cracks from hot pans set directly down. If you’re covering damage with cutting boards, you’re past the repair window.
- Your kitchen layout fights you every time you cook. The classic “kitchen triangle” isn’t design theory, it’s accumulated wisdom about reducing wasted motion. If your refrigerator door hits the oven when open, or you’re carrying hot pots across traffic lanes, the layout is costing you time and creating hazard. We’ve reconfigured galley kitchens in Paradise that gained effective square footage purely through smarter appliance placement.
- You have water damage under the sink or behind appliances. Las Vegas’s hard water corrodes supply lines and valves faster than national averages. Slow leaks behind dishwashers or under sinks destroy cabinet bases and breed mold in the dry climate you wouldn’t expect. By the time you smell mustiness, the substructure is compromised. We always inspect these areas during estimate walks.
- Your electrical system can’t handle modern appliances. Kitchens built before 1990 in neighborhoods like Winchester or Sunrise Manor often have 15-amp circuits and two-prong outlets. Today’s induction cooktops, convection ovens, and beverage centers require dedicated 240-volt lines and GFCI protection. If your breaker trips when you run the microwave and toaster together, your electrical infrastructure is overdue for replacement.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Process - Step by Step
- 1
In-home consultation and measurement. We visit your Las Vegas home with laser measuring tools, moisture meters, and electrical testers. Todd Mervyn or a senior designer walks the space, documents existing conditions, and identifies structural or code constraints before any design work begins. You’ll receive a written scope and preliminary budget range within 48 hours.
- 2
Design development and material selection. We produce detailed 3D renderings showing cabinet layouts, lighting plans, and material palettes. You visit our showroom or we bring samples to your home, whichever fits your schedule. All selections are itemized with model numbers and pricing, so there’s no “allowance” ambiguity that plagues typical Las Vegas contractor bids.
- 3
Permit application and trade scheduling. We pull permits with the City of Las Vegas or relevant jurisdiction, schedule rough inspections for electrical, plumbing, and structural work, and coordinate our background-checked, uniformed technicians so trades don’t trip over each other. Our project management software gives you real-time progress updates without chasing anyone for answers.
- 4
Demolition and rough construction. We protect adjacent spaces with dust barriers and HEPA filtration, remove existing materials for recycling where possible, and expose framing for inspection. Any hidden damage, old termite trails, or substandard prior work gets documented with photos and addressed before close-in. This is where our experience pays off, we’ve seen what lurks behind Las Vegas kitchen walls and budget accordingly.
- 5
Finish installation and final walkthrough. Cabinets, countertops, appliances, fixtures, and finishes go in with systematic quality checks at each stage. We test every outlet, run every faucet, and operate every appliance through full cycles. The final walkthrough includes a punch list we resolve before you sign off, and your 730-Day Done Right Promise documentation is activated the same day.
How Much Does Kitchen Remodeling Cost in Las Vegas?
A typical full kitchen remodel in Las Vegas runs $14,000-$45,000, with most of our projects landing in the $22,000-$35,000 range for complete cabinet, countertop, flooring, and appliance replacement in standard-sized kitchens. Small kitchen remodels or partial updates start around $9,000 and cap near $20,000. Cabinet installation alone ranges $4,000-$13,000 depending on box construction and hardware grade. Countertop installation runs $2,000-$6,500 for average kitchens, with quartz and granite at the higher end. Backsplash installation adds $800-$2,500, and kitchen island installation ranges $3,000-$10,000 depending on electrical and plumbing complexity.
| Service | Typical Range in Las Vegas |
|---|---|
| Full Kitchen Remodel | $14,000 - $45,000 |
| Small Kitchen Remodel | $9,000 - $20,000 |
| Cabinet Installation | $4,000 - $13,000 |
| Countertop Installation | $2,000 - $6,500 |
| Backsplash Installation | $800 - $2,500 |
| Kitchen Island Installation | $3,000 - $10,000 |
Several factors push costs up or down. Layout changes requiring wall removal or plumbing relocation add $2,000-$8,000. High-end appliance packages from brands like Wolf or Sub-Zero can exceed the construction budget itself. Material availability matters too, we’ve seen quartz lead times stretch 8 weeks during supply chain crunches, while in-stock options keep projects moving. The biggest variable is often what we find after demolition: outdated wiring, plumbing not to code, or previous DIY “improvements” that need remediation.
To avoid overpaying, get at least three detailed bids with identical scopes, verify contractor licensing through the Nevada State Contractors Board, and never pay more than 10% or $1,000 deposit upfront, whichever is less. Our free estimate includes line-item pricing with no hidden allowances, and we honor our quoted price unless you change the scope. With 0% financing for 18 months and $1,000 off projects over $10,000, we make the investment manageable without cutting corners.

Yes, we are experienced installers of both KraftMaid cabinetry and Cambria quartz surfaces, with direct supplier relationships that ensure authentic materials and warranty coverage. We’ve completed hundreds of installations with these brands across the Las Vegas Valley and understand their specific installation requirements, from KraftMaid’s frameless construction tolerances to Cambria’s support needs for extended overhangs. If you have these brands or any other make, we can source, install, and stand behind the work.
We don’t classify kitchen remodeling as emergency service, but we do answer calls live 24/7 and can expedite estimates and scheduling for situations like insurance claims, pre-sale deadlines, or kitchens rendered unusable by damage. For true emergencies involving electrical hazards or active water leaks, we’ll guide you to immediate safety steps and dispatch our team for temporary stabilization.

All our kitchen remodeling work is covered by the 730-Day Done Right Promise, if it’s not done right, we make it right, with no deductible, no proration, and no expiration before two full years. This applies to workmanship, installation quality, and material defects we can attribute to our labor. Manufacturer warranties on appliances, cabinets, and countertops run separately and typically extend 5-25 years depending on the product. We register all warranties on your behalf and provide documentation at project completion.
Before your kitchen remodel begins, clear all cabinets and drawers, relocate refrigerator contents to a temporary setup, and establish a makeshift cooking area elsewhere in your home. We recommend protecting adjacent rooms with plastic sheeting even though we install dust barriers, and notifying your HOA if applicable, especially in gated Las Vegas communities with construction hour restrictions. During our pre-construction meeting, we provide a detailed preparation checklist tailored to your specific project scope and household needs.
