Happy Valley kitchens have a different problem than the rest of the metro: the space is there, but the kitchen isn’t. Most homes here — Eagle Landing, Scouters Mountain, the Sunnyside corridor — were built between the 1990s and the 2010s with big open footprints and builder-grade everything: oak-veneer cabinets, laminate or entry-tier counters, one sad ceiling light. K&H Construction & Remodeling turns those kitchens into what the room was always meant to be, with custom cabinetry, real stone, and lighting design — from a licensed, family-run local contractor (Oregon CCB #233813 — verify).
The Builder-Grade-to-Custom Upgrade
Because Happy Valley homes are newer, the wiring, plumbing, and framing usually don’t need rescue work — which means more of your budget goes to the parts you see and touch every day:
- ✓ Island rebuilds — bigger, better-organized islands with seating, storage, and a quartz top that anchors the great room
- ✓ Full cabinet replacement or refacing — shaker, two-tone, and painted finishes that retire the orange oak for good
- ✓ Quartz & granite countertops — templated and installed precisely, with full-height backsplashes that finish the wall
- ✓ Custom statement pieces — range hoods, floating shelves, and built-ins designed for your kitchen and built by hand (see examples of our custom work)
- ✓ Lighting plans — recessed cans, pendants over the island, under-cabinet LEDs; the upgrade every 2000s kitchen needs most
- ✓ Walk-in pantry buildouts — shelving and organization that make the big footprint actually work
A Local Crew That Builds, Not Installs
Plenty of companies will sell Happy Valley homeowners a boxed kitchen and an installation crew. We’re a different thing: a family-run Portland-metro contractor with a 5-star Google record whose founders, Eric and Kyle, run every project personally. Custom hoods, hand-built islands, tile laid straight — the finish work in our project gallery is our crew’s, in real local homes. We already work in Happy Valley; see our Happy Valley bathroom remodeling page.

Happy Valley Kitchen Remodeling FAQ
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Happy Valley?
Most full remodels run roughly $45,000–$95,000, and Happy Valley’s newer homes usually avoid the electrical and plumbing surprises that add cost in older Portland neighborhoods. An island-counters-lighting refresh can come in well under that. Full breakdown in our cost guide.
Is it worth replacing builder-grade cabinets, or just refacing them?
If the boxes are square and solid — common in 2000s construction — refacing with new doors and drawer fronts can look fully custom for thousands less. If the layout or storage is wrong, replacement wins. We’ll give you honest pricing on both in the estimate.
Do you handle permits in Happy Valley?
Yes — remodels involving plumbing, electrical, or structural changes are permitted work, and we manage applications and inspections with the city and county as part of every project.
