Kitchen Remodel Cost in Bellevue: 2026 Price Guide

The most common question we get from Bellevue and Eastside homeowners: what will my kitchen actually cost? Here are the real 2026 ranges, and what moves the number up or down.

2026 kitchen remodel price tiers in Bellevue

- Pull-and-replace update: $25,000–$40,000. Same layout — new cabinets, counters, backsplash, fixtures, and paint.

- Full remodel: $45,000–$120,000. Most Bellevue projects land here — new everything, possible lighting and electrical upgrades, minor layout tweaks.

- Custom / layout-change kitchens: $150,000+. Moving walls, plumbing, or gas lines, custom cabinetry, premium appliances and stone.

What drives the price

Cabinetry is typically the single largest line item, followed by labor, countertops, and appliances. Layout changes are the biggest multiplier — moving a sink, range, or wall pulls in plumbing, electrical, and permit work.

Do you need a permit?

Yes, if plumbing, electrical, or walls are moving — which most full remodels involve. We pull all permits and schedule inspections as part of every project.

Timeline

Construction typically takes 6–10 weeks once materials are on site; design, selections, and cabinet lead times add 4–8 weeks up front. Plan roughly 3–4 months door to door.
