Kitchen Remodeling Services in Palm Springs

A large share of the homes inside the Palm Springs city limits were framed between 1947 and 1965. The kitchens in those homes were designed for a different way of cooking. We rebuild them.

Whole-Kitchen Projects

• Full kitchen remodel in Palm Springs. Demolition through final inspection: cabinets, countertops, flooring, lighting, plumbing, electrical and appliances in one managed schedule.
• Luxury kitchen renovations. Bookmatched slab, waterfall islands, full-height backsplashes, integrated panel-ready appliances and a second prep kitchen where the floor plan allows.
• Open concept kitchen conversions. Removing the wall between the kitchen and the great room, with the beam, the load path and the permit handled properly.
• Kitchen expansions and additions. Bumping the footprint out, absorbing an adjacent dining room, or building new square footage under a permitted addition.
• Condo and townhome kitchen remodels. HOA submittals, elevator and stair logistics, stacked plumbing constraints and quiet-hours scheduling.

Cabinets, Counters and Surfaces

• Custom cabinet installation. Frameless European boxes or face-frame construction in maple, oak, birch or MDF for painted finishes, with soft-close hinges and full-extension slides.
• Cabinet refacing. New doors, drawer fronts and veneer over sound existing boxes, typically at a fraction of replacement cost and in a fraction of the time.
• Kitchen countertop replacement. Quartz, granite, quartzite, porcelain slab, solid surface, butcher block and laminate, templated on site and fabricated to your sink and cooktop.
• Kitchen island installation. New islands with power, plumbing, seating overhang and, where you want it, a mitered waterfall edge.
• Backsplash installation. Four-inch matching stone, full-height slab, subway tile, handmade zellige and glass mosaic.

Design and Outdoor

• Kitchen design and 3D renderings. Measured drawings, elevations and a rendered walkthrough before anything gets demolished.
• Outdoor kitchen construction. Built for a climate that puts 114 afternoons a year over 100 degrees: masonry or marine-grade polymer cabinetry, porcelain or granite tops, and hardware that survives direct sun.

Kitchen Remodel Cost in Palm Springs

Nobody likes a contractor who dodges the number. Here is the honest picture. National cost data puts a full kitchen remodel at roughly $150 to $250 per square foot, with layout changes pushing higher. Palm Springs sits at the upper half of that band, because slab-on-grade construction makes plumbing relocations expensive and because a lot of the housing stock needs electrical brought up to current code before anything decorative happens.

Individual line items, for the projects that do not need everything:

What moves your number up or down: cabinet construction and door style, countertop material (granite runs $40 to $100 per square foot installed while quartzite reaches $250), whether the sink or range moves, the condition of the existing electrical panel, whether the ceiling is post-and-beam or has an attic to work in, and whether the property is a designated historic site. Kitchen remodels typically return 50 to 70 percent of their cost at resale, which matters in a market where a meaningful share of owners are holding second homes.

How a Palm Springs Kitchen Remodel Works

1. Free in-home estimate. We measure, photograph and talk through what you want. You get a written scope and price, not a verbal ballpark.
2. Design and selections. Layout drawings, elevations and a 3D rendering. You choose door style, finish, slab and hardware before demolition, which is what keeps a schedule from slipping.
3. Permits and approvals. We pull City of Palm Springs permits. If the home is a designated Class 1 historic site or sits in a historic district, we route the work through Historic Site Preservation Board review before we start.
4. Demolition. Two to four days on a typical kitchen. Dust containment, floor protection and a dumpster on site.
5. Rough-in. Plumbing, gas, electrical, framing and any structural beam. Inspections happen here, and this is where a slab-on-grade home costs more, because relocating a drain means cutting concrete.
6. Cabinets and countertop template. Boxes go in level and plumb, then the fabricator templates the actual installed cabinets rather than the drawing.
7. Countertops, backsplash and finishes. Slab install, sink set, tile, paint and flooring.
8. Appliances, punch list and final inspection. We walk the kitchen with you, fix the list, and close the permit.

Most full remodels run six to ten weeks from demolition to final. Slab work, custom cabinet lead times and historic review add to that, and we tell you which of those applies at the estimate rather than at week five.

Remodeling a Kitchen in the Desert Is Not the Same Job

Palm Springs averages 114.8 afternoons a year at or above 100 degrees and 176.6 at or above 90. That is not trivia, it changes specification. Adhesives, caulks and cabinet finishes that hold up in a coastal climate fail here. Slab movement matters. Ventilation matters more, because a high-CFM ducted hood in a tightly sealed house needs makeup air.

The seasonal calendar is inverted, too. The city fills up between November and March as snowbirds arrive, and most owners want the noise and dust to happen while they are away. That makes April through October our busiest stretch and February, ahead of Modernism Week, the hardest deadline on the calendar. Book early for either.

Two more local realities we deal with weekly. About 6,700 acres of the Agua Caliente reservation sit inside city limits in a checkerboard pattern, so some homes sit on leased tribal land, which can add a layer to approvals. And the Alexander Construction Company's roughly 2,200 post-war homes share a design language worth protecting: slab doors, flat panels, post-and-beam ceilings, clerestory glass. We can bring one of those kitchens to 2026 without turning it into something Donald Wexler would not recognize.

Why Homeowners Here Call Us

• Licensed and insured. $5 million in general liability. We will send the certificate before we send an invoice.
• Written scope, fixed price. Change orders only when you request a change, and always in writing first.
• One crew, one schedule. We do not hand your kitchen to a rotating cast of subs and disappear.
• Absentee-owner friendly. With so many homes here sitting empty for part of the year, we run a lot of jobs for owners who are in Vancouver or Seattle. Lockbox access, dated photo updates and remote approvals are standard, not a favor.
• Local material sourcing. Slab yards in Palm Desert and Cathedral City, so you can put your hands on the actual stone before it is cut.
