What Our Clients Say

“We had heard enough contractor stories to be nervous going into the remodel. What helped the most was knowing who to contact and getting updates without having to chase anyone down. When something changed, they explained it and gave us options instead of just making the decision for us.”

Stacey Codey

“Our old kitchen looked fine in pictures, but it was frustrating to use every day. We had almost no useful storage, and two people could barely move around without getting in each other’s way. The new layout feels much more open, and we finally have a place for everything.”

Daniel Ortiz

“I was overwhelmed by how many decisions there were. Cabinets, counters, flooring, hardware it all started to blur together. Going through the options with someone who could tell us what would actually work in our home made the process a lot easier.”

Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen Remodeling

K
L
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Lakewood, WA?

The cost of a kitchen remodel depends on the size of the space, the amount of layout change, cabinetry, countertop materials, appliances, plumbing and electrical work, and the overall level of finish.

A cosmetic update will usually involve a different investment than a full kitchen renovation with custom cabinetry and major layout changes. Bandido Solutions begins by learning about your goals and evaluating the existing space before developing a project scope and estimate.

K
L
How long does a kitchen remodel take?

The timeline depends on the project scope, material availability, design decisions, permits, and whether structural, plumbing, or electrical changes are required.

A complete kitchen renovation typically requires more planning and construction time than a simple finish update. We discuss anticipated timing during the planning and estimating process.

Can I stay in my home during the kitchen remodel?

Accessory Building Construction in Lakewood, WA

Accessory Building vs. ADU: Two Different Projects

Close-up of stamped building permit paperwork near plumbing rough-in Lakewood remodel

An accessory building is a garage, workshop, or storage structure with no kitchen or living plumbing. An ADU is a small detached home with its own kitchen, bathroom, and sleeping space. The two get built, permitted, and priced differently. Knowing which one you want saves you a lot of confusion.

Here's where people get tangled up. Someone calls us wanting a detached garage, but they keep saying they might rent it out someday. That single sentence changes everything. A workshop with a slab, some outlets, and a roll-up door is one kind of remodel. A structure with a bedroom, a bathroom, and a stove is a different animal entirely, legally and structurally.

Lakewood has a lot of older lots with detached garages already sitting on them, some from decades back and never updated. Folks often want to replace one of those with something bigger for a workshop or storage. That's a straightforward accessory building remodel. Once you add plumbing for a kitchen or a shower meant for someone to live there full time, you've crossed into ADU territory. That means separate systems, separate inspections, and a longer permitting path.

    Not sure yet which one fits your lot - worth a conversation before you commit to a design

We build both. Custom Garage and Workshop Construction and Custom ADU Construction are separate services for a reason; they solve different problems. If you're leaning toward a full living space, don't let a contractor treat it like a simple shed job. It isn't one, and the permitting process will remind you of that fast.
