Kitchen Remodel in Denver, CO
The kitchen is the room you’ll feel every single day, and the one that moves the needle most at resale. Arch Design & Build handles design, structural engineering, and construction under one contract
How Much Does a Kitchen Remodel Cost in Denver?
The gap between a $12,000 kitchen refresh and a $60,000 gut renovation isn’t arbitrary. It comes down to a few decisions: Are you keeping the layout, or moving the sink? Replacing cabinet doors, or going full custom? Touching the plumbing rough-in, or leaving it where it is?
In Denver’s older neighborhoods — Washington Park, Mayfair, Congress Park — kitchens were often designed as closed, galley-style rooms. Opening them up to the living area almost always means dealing with a load-bearing wall. That requires a structural engineer, a beam, and a permit. And t’s worth doing.
The number we give you after an in-home assessment is the number you pay unless you want to male a change. Submit a request, and we’ll come out — free of charge

Denver Permits for Kitchen Remodels
Do I need a permit for a kitchen remodel in Denver?
Swapping countertops and painting cabinets — no. Moving plumbing, adding electrical circuits, or removing a load-bearing wall — yes, and the permit requirements are specific. Denver Community Planning and Development requires structural engineering documentation for any work that affects the home’s load path.
We prepare the drawings, pull the permits, and manage every inspection. You don’t file a form
Why Remodel Now?
A kitchen remodel returns 60–80% at resale in the Denver market. More importantly, with mortgage rates where they are, buying a home with an updated kitchen costs significantly more than updating the one you already own. The math favors investing in place

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you open up my galley kitchen without touching the structure?
Sometimes — it depends on what’s in the wall. We’ll tell you during the consultation exactly what you’re dealing with. If it’s load-bearing, we’ll engineer the solution in-house. No guessing.
How long does a kitchen remodel take in Denver?
A cosmetic refresh runs 3–5 weeks. A mid-range project with plumbing changes, 5–8 weeks. A full gut with structural work, 8–12 weeks. Denver CPD permit review is built into that timeline from day one.
What if I want to completely change the kitchen layout?
That’s where our design-build model earns its keep. The architect and structural engineer work together from the first sketch — so by the time we’re pulling permits, every detail has been resolved.
