Kitchen Remodeling Raleigh Homeowners Can Count On
If you're looking into kitchen remodeling in Raleigh, you probably want two things. A kitchen that works better for the way your family lives, and a contractor who gives you a straight answer on cost and time.
Sanderson Construction is a local, licensed NC general contractor based in Holly Springs. We have remodeled homes across the Triangle for over 20 years. We are not a franchise. Sam leads every kitchen we build, from the first walkthrough to the final punch list.
Most people call us when their kitchen feels cramped, dark or worn out. Cabinet doors sag. Counters are chipped. The layout made sense in 1995 and not today. Whatever the reason, we'll tell you what it takes to fix it and what it costs, in writing, before any work starts.
We remodel kitchens in Raleigh, Cary, Apex, Holly Springs, Fuquay-Varina and Morrisville.

What drives the price
What a Kitchen Remodel Costs in Raleigh
Most of our kitchens fall between $15,000 and $60,000 or more. Where yours lands depends on a few big choices.
- Layout. Keeping sinks, ranges and walls where they are costs less. Moving plumbing, gas or walls adds labor, inspections and time.
- Cabinets. Refacing your current boxes costs far less than new custom cabinets. Cabinets are often the biggest line on the price.
- Counters and tile. Stone counters, a full height backsplash and new flooring add up. We'll show you options at a few price points.
- Electrical and lighting. Older Triangle homes often need new circuits for today's appliances. Under cabinet and recessed lights make a big difference.
- Permits. If your project needs one, we pull it. It's part of your written price, not a surprise later.
You'll see each of these as its own line on your price, so you can decide where to spend and where to save. Want more detail? Read our guide on how to plan a kitchen remodeling budget.

Kitchen Permits, in Plain English
Permit rules are set by your town or by Wake County, so the details vary a little from place to place. Here's the general idea.
Swapping cabinets, counters and backsplash in the same spots often doesn't need a permit. Adding or moving plumbing, adding wiring or light fixtures, or touching load bearing walls usually does. Big projects can need one too. For example, the Town of Apex permit guide says work over $40,000, and any work that adds plumbing, wiring or structural changes, needs a permit.
You don't have to sort this out yourself. On the walkthrough, Sam tells you whether your kitchen needs a permit. If it does, we pull it and schedule the inspections.

Kitchen Remodeling Questions
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Raleigh?
Our kitchen packages start at $15,000 for an Essential Refresh, $35,000 for a Complete Transformation and $55,000 for a Luxury Custom kitchen. Most of our kitchens land somewhere between $15,000 and $60,000 or more. Your written price depends on the size of the room, the layout and the materials you pick.
How long does a kitchen remodel take?
An Essential Refresh takes about 1 to 2 weeks. A Complete Transformation takes about 4 to 6 weeks. A Luxury Custom kitchen takes about 8 to 12 weeks. Most full kitchen remodels fall in the 6 to 10 week range. Your written price includes a timeline.
Do I need a permit to remodel my kitchen?
It depends on the work. New cabinets, counters and backsplash often don't need one. Moving or adding plumbing or wiring, changing walls, or a large project usually does. When a permit is needed, we pull it and schedule the inspections.
Can I use my kitchen during the remodel?
Not the parts we're working on. Before we start, we'll talk through a plan for meals and a temporary setup so your family can keep moving while the kitchen is down.
Do you offer a warranty?
Yes. Every kitchen remodel includes a 2 year workmanship warranty. We are also a licensed NC general contractor with general liability insurance.
Should I reface or replace my cabinets?
If your cabinet boxes are solid and the layout works, refacing with new doors, drawer fronts and hardware can save a lot. If the boxes are damaged or you want a new layout, new cabinets make more sense. Sam will tell you which one fits your kitchen.
What should I have ready for the walkthrough?
Photos or saved ideas you like, a rough budget range and a list of what bugs you about your kitchen today. That helps Sam give you a price that fits how you actually live.
Do you remodel kitchens outside Raleigh?
Yes. We remodel kitchens in Cary, Apex, Holly Springs, Fuquay-Varina and Morrisville too. Our crew is based in Holly Springs.
