Why Portland Homeowners Choose Lazy Susan for Kitchen Remodeling
The kitchen is where Portland life happens — morning coffee before work, homework at the island, friends gathered around the stove on a rainy evening. When your kitchen no longer works for the way you live, every day feels a little harder than it should. Our design-build team creates kitchens that are as functional as they are beautiful, adding real value to your home and genuine enjoyment to your daily routine.
We know Portland homes inside and out. From Craftsman bungalows in Sellwood with closed-off galley kitchens to mid-century ranches in SW Portland that crave more natural light, we design around the quirks of older layouts, structural realities, and the character of your neighborhood — so your new kitchen feels like it has always belonged.
As a full design-build remodeling company, we handle everything under one roof: space planning, custom 3D design, material selection in our SW Portland showroom, permitting, and expert installation by our own crews. One team, one contract, one point of accountability from the first sketch to the final walkthrough.
Every project is built on quality craftsmanship and smart, livable design — clever storage that ends countertop clutter, energy-efficient appliances and lighting that lower your bills, and durable finishes that stand up to real family life. It’s why homeowners across Portland have trusted Lazy Susan Design & Remodeling with the heart of their home for more than 12 years.
Our Custom Kitchen Remodeling Services in Portland OR
No two Portland kitchens — and no two families — are alike. Whether you’re dreaming of a full transformation or a focused update, our kitchen remodeling services are tailored to your home, your style, and your budget.
Custom Kitchen Remodeling Portland OR
Our signature service: complete kitchen transformations designed and built around the way you live. We reimagine your layout for modern flow, replace worn surfaces with premium materials, and rebuild the space from the studs out where needed. From the first design meeting to the final reveal, we manage every trade and every detail. The result is a fully custom kitchen remodel that looks stunning, works harder, and adds lasting value to your Portland home. It’s the most popular choice for homeowners ready for a true before-and-after moment.
Countertops & Backsplashes
The right surfaces make a kitchen unforgettable. We install premium quartz and granite countertops that shrug off daily wear, along with butcher block and specialty surfaces for accent areas. Pair them with a backsplash that tells your story — handmade tile, classic subway, or a dramatic full-height slab. Our designers help you balance durability, maintenance, and looks, and every countertop is templated and installed with precision for clean seams and perfect edges.
Kitchen Cabinet Refacing & Replacement
Cabinets set the tone for the entire kitchen. We offer beautiful custom and semi-custom cabinetry — including Bellmont Cabinets, built right here in the Pacific Northwest — in styles from classic shaker to sleek modern slab. If your cabinet boxes are solid but the look is dated, refacing delivers a dramatic update at a friendlier price point. Either way, you’ll choose door styles, finishes, and hardware side by side with your designer in our showroom, with soft-close everything as the standard.
Kitchen Layout & Design Updates
Many Portland kitchens were built for a different era — closed off from the living space, short on counter room, and dark through our gray winters. We open walls to create open-concept living, add islands with seating and storage, relocate appliances for a smarter work triangle, and rework windows to capture more natural light. Structural changes are engineered and permitted properly, so your open, airy kitchen is as sound as it is beautiful.
Lighting, Fixtures & Finishing Touches
Details finish the story. Layered lighting — recessed ceiling lights, under-cabinet task lighting, and statement pendants over the island — keeps your kitchen bright and inviting year-round. We complete the look with quality faucets and sinks, cabinet hardware, durable flooring, and fresh paint in colors that suit Portland light. These finishing touches are where a good remodel becomes a great one, and we sweat every one of them.

Our Proven Kitchen Remodeling Process in Portland
Remodeling your kitchen shouldn’t mean months of chaos and guesswork. Our proven design-build process keeps your project on schedule, on budget, and refreshingly low-stress — here’s how it works, step by step.
01
Discovery & Kitchen Consultation
It starts with a conversation. We visit your home (or meet at our showroom), listen to what’s working and what isn’t, take measurements, and talk honestly about scope and budget. You’ll leave with a clear picture of what’s possible in your kitchen — and a good feel for how we work.
02
Custom 3D Design & Material Selection
Our designers translate your wish list into a custom 3D design, so you can walk through your new kitchen before a single wall comes down. Then comes the fun part: choosing cabinetry, countertops, tile, and finishes hands-on in our SW Portland showroom, with expert guidance every step of the way.
03
Permitting & Precise Planning
Before construction begins, we handle the paperwork — permits, engineering where needed, and a detailed construction schedule. Materials are ordered and confirmed up front so your project doesn’t stall mid-build. You’ll know exactly what happens when, and who’s doing it, before demo day arrives.
04
Demolition & Construction with Minimal Disruption
Our crews protect your home with dust barriers and floor protection, keep work areas tidy, and help you plan a functional temporary kitchen. Clear communication continues throughout construction, with regular updates and a dedicated point of contact — so you always know exactly where your project stands.
05
Final Installation, Walkthrough & Care Instructions
Cabinets, counters, tile, lighting, hardware — every element is installed and detailed to our standards, then walked through together. We fine-tune anything that isn’t perfect, hand over care instructions for your new surfaces, and don’t call it done until you love the result.

Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen Remodeling in Portland OR
Every kitchen is different, so honest pricing starts with scope. The biggest cost drivers are the size of your kitchen, whether the layout changes (moving walls, plumbing, or gas lines), the cabinetry you choose (refacing vs. semi-custom vs. fully custom), countertop material, and appliances. Rather than quote a one-size-fits-all number, we walk your space, discuss your priorities, and provide a detailed, line-item estimate — free of charge. We'll show you where you can save and where it pays to invest, and we offer financing options to help fit your remodel to your budget.
Most full kitchen remodels take roughly six to ten weeks of construction, depending on scope, material lead times, and whether structural changes are involved. Design, material selection, and permitting come before that — typically several weeks. Because we confirm materials and permits before demolition begins, our projects avoid the mid-build stalls that plague many remodels. You'll receive a detailed schedule up front and regular updates throughout, so there are no surprises about timing.
It depends on your timeline and your home's condition. Kitchens consistently rank among the highest-impact projects for resale in the Portland market — buyers notice them first, and a dated kitchen can drag down offers on an otherwise lovely home. If a full remodel doesn't make sense before listing, targeted updates like cabinet refacing, new countertops, lighting, and paint can dramatically improve first impressions at a smaller investment. We're happy to advise on which improvements make sense for your goals — whether you're selling next spring or staying for decades.
Yes — both are built into every project. Your designer creates a custom 3D design of your new kitchen so you can see the layout, cabinetry, and finishes together before construction begins, and revise with confidence. Material selection happens hands-on in our SW Portland showroom, where you can compare door styles, quartz and granite samples, tile, hardware, and flooring side by side with expert guidance. It's a design experience that takes the guesswork out of remodeling.
In most cases, yes — the majority of our clients live at home throughout their kitchen remodel. We make it manageable by sealing the work zone with dust barriers, protecting floors and pathways, keeping the site clean daily, and helping you set up a functional temporary kitchen. The noisiest phases — demolition and any structural work — are scheduled and communicated in advance so you can plan around them. Families with young kids or home offices sometimes choose to travel during demo week, but it's rarely required.
Portland kitchens today lean warm, natural, and hardworking. We're seeing white oak and walnut cabinetry (often mixed with painted shaker), durable quartz countertops with soft veining, full-height backsplashes, and matte black or brass hardware. Layered lighting and bigger windows are popular here — anything that fights the gray. On the function side, appliance garages, deep drawer storage, walk-in pantries, induction ranges, and coffee stations top wish lists. The common thread is timelessness: Portland homeowners want kitchens that feel current now and still right in fifteen years.
