Kitchen Remodeling Across Issaquah, Sammamish and Redmond
At American Remodeling Experts, we have been transforming kitchens across Issaquah, Sammamish, Redmond, Bellevue, and Kirkland since 2018. We are a family owned company founded by Amir and Limor, who live and raise their children right here on the Eastside. We treat every home we work in like it is our own because this is our community too.
Amir has personally designed hundreds of kitchens across the Eastside and his passion for kitchen design goes far beyond the job. At home, Amir is an avid cook who spends hours in his own kitchen preparing multicultural dishes, experimenting with spices, baking, and cooking for his family. He understands firsthand what makes a kitchen truly functional: the right layout, the ideal workflow between prep and cooking areas, and the finishing details that make a space both beautiful and practical.
Amir works directly with local designers and local vendors to source the best materials at the best prices. He is known for his love of opening walls and expanding kitchen footprints to create the open, airy spaces that Eastside homeowners love. And we bring a designer to every project to help busy homeowners with material selections, finishes, and design decisions so you spend less time stressing and more time looking forward to the result.
For our many clients who are tech professionals or relocating families, we offer full remote project management through daily photo logs, video updates, and a dedicated project management app. You are always in the loop no matter where you are in the world.
The most common complaint we hear is about “closed-off” kitchens. Older homes often compartmentalize the kitchen, separating the cook from the rest of the family.
Modern remodeling is shifting towards open-concept living. Removing non-load-bearing walls (or expertly handling load-bearing ones with proper beam placement) can merge your kitchen with the living or dining areas.
This not only floods the space with natural light but also creates a social hub where cooking and entertaining happen simultaneously.
Key consideration: Think about the “work triangle” – the path between your stove, sink, and refrigerator.
An experienced designer will ensure this path remains unobstructed, even in a larger, open layout.
Embarking on a remodel can feel overwhelming. There are permits to secure, layouts to draft, and endless materials to choose from. This is where the Design-Build approach shines.
Unlike the traditional method where you hire a designer and a contractor separately, a Design-Build firm handles everything under one roof.
From the initial 3D rendering to the final installation of the backsplash, having a single team ensures:
In the Pacific Northwest, homeowners value durability mixed with modern aesthetics.
Beyond the daily joy of cooking in a beautiful new space, a professional kitchen remodel offers one of the highest returns on investment.
For homeowners in the competitive Seattle area, an updated, modern kitchen is frequently the single deciding factor for potential buyers.
It’s not just about cosmetic appeal; it is about functional value.
By upgrading outdated electrical systems, improving energy efficiency with new appliances, and installing durable, high-quality materials, you are significantly boosting your home’s long-term equity.
Ultimately, a renovated kitchen signals to buyers that the home has been well-loved and meticulously maintained, justifying a higher premium when it is time to sell.
The kitchen has become the most transformed room in Eastside homes. Here is what we are seeing our Issaquah, Sammamish, and Redmond clients asking for right now:
Open Concept Layouts The number one request we get. Removing walls between the kitchen and living or dining areas creates better flow, more natural light, and a space that works for how modern families actually live. Amir loves nothing more than taking down a wall and showing a homeowner what their home could be.
Large Islands Islands have evolved from a prep surface into the centerpiece of the kitchen. Seating, storage, prep space, and a natural gathering spot for family and guests. We are designing larger, more functional islands in almost every project we do.
Quartz and Natural Stone Countertops Quartz remains the most popular choice for its durability and low maintenance. We are also seeing a strong return to natural stone, marble, and quartzite for homeowners who want something truly distinctive. We source countertops through trusted local suppliers like Avrio Surfaces in Redmond, which means better quality, faster turnaround, and savings we pass directly to you.
Slab Cabinet Doors Shaker style is giving way to flat slab doors for a cleaner, more contemporary look. Paired with integrated handles or touch-open hardware, the result is a kitchen that feels modern and effortless.
Smart Appliances Induction cooktops, smart refrigerators, built-in coffee systems, and quiet dishwashers are increasingly standard in Eastside kitchen remodels. We coordinate appliance selection and installation as part of every project.
Under Cabinet and Pendant Lighting Layered lighting transforms a kitchen. Under cabinet lighting for task work, pendant lights over the island for ambiance, and recessed lighting throughout for overall brightness. We design lighting plans into every kitchen we build.
Warm Wood Tones White kitchens are giving way to warm wood tones, greens, and earthy neutrals. Eastside homeowners are gravitating toward kitchens that feel warm and lived-in rather than stark and sterile.
Concealed Storage Pantry pull-outs, appliance garages, and built-in organizational systems are making kitchens cleaner and more functional. Every inch of storage is intentional.
A kitchen remodel is a complex symphony of plumbing, electrical work, tiling, and carpentry.
While the DIY spirit is admirable, a project of this magnitude requires professional precision to ensure safety and longevity.
At American Remodeling Experts, we believe that remodeling should be an exciting journey, not a stressful chore. We take pride in turning outdated spaces into dream kitchens, on time and on budget.
We serve homeowners across the Eastside with dedicated kitchen remodeling services in each community. Find your city below:
Kitchen remodeling costs typically range between $65,000 and $125,000, depending on kitchen size, material quality, structural changes, and appliance upgrades. Cosmetic renovations cost less, while full custom remodels with layout changes cost significantly more.

Cabinetry is typically the largest expense, often accounting for 25%–35% of the total budget. Custom cabinets increase costs but provide better storage, durability, and design flexibility.
