Kitchen Renovations in Portland
There's a difference between patching up a kitchen and truly reimagining it. At Portlandia Restoration, we specialize in small and medium kitchen remodels — the kind of focused, well-executed projects where craftsmanship actually shows.
We work best with homeowners who come with a vision. Whether that's a detailed plan from an architect or something sketched out on paper at the kitchen table, we take your ideas and build them. You bring the direction; we bring the skill to execute it properly.
Our kitchen remodeling work typically includes:
Cabinet replacement and custom cabinet installation
Countertop and surface upgrades
Lighting and fixture improvements
Flooring and finish work
Layout modifications within the existing footprint
Portland homes have a lot of personality — Craftsman bungalows in Irvington, Four-Squares in Sellwood, mid-century ranches in Southeast. We understand how to work within their quirks, preserve what makes them special, and modernize what needs to change.

Custom Cabinets, Islands & Layout Improvements
In most kitchens, the real problem isn't the cabinets — it's the layout.
Poor workflow, limited storage, and cramped prep space can make even a decent-sized kitchen feel frustrating. We work with Portland homeowners to make practical layout improvements that change how the space functions day to day — working from your plans and ideas to build something that actually fits your home and habits.
For smaller Portland kitchens — common in older craftsman homes and urban properties — thoughtful layout adjustments and well-built cabinetry can dramatically improve function without expanding the footprint.
We install custom cabinetry tailored to your space, including built-in storage solutions, quality wood finishes, and hardware that holds up to daily use. If you've seen our custom built-ins and woodwork, you'll recognize the same level of craft in our kitchen projects.
Kitchen islands are one of the most popular upgrades we install — adding prep space, storage, or casual seating depending on what your kitchen needs most.
We work with quality materials and build to last. A kitchen remodel should improve your home for decades, not just look good on day one.
How Much Does a Kitchen Remodel Cost in Portland?
It's usually the first question homeowners ask, and it's a fair one. The honest answer is that kitchen remodel costs in Portland vary significantly depending on the scope of your project, the materials you choose, and the condition of your existing space.
Rather than publish numbers that won't reflect your actual kitchen, we think it's more useful to walk through 4 key components that influence the cost.
The best way to get a number that actually means something is to have a real conversation about your specific kitchen. We offer free estimates based on a walkthrough of your space and a clear understanding of your goals — no vague ballparks, no pressure.
-
Replacing cabinets and countertops costs less than reconfiguring a layout or moving fixtures. The more changes involved, the higher the investment.
-
Custom cabinetry and premium countertops carry a higher price than stock options. We'll help you understand the tradeoffs.
-
Older Portland homes, particularly those built before 1950, sometimes have surprises behind the walls. We plan carefully and communicate clearly if anything unexpected comes up.
-
Some kitchen work in Portland requires permits, which affects both budget and timeline. We'll let you know upfront what applies to your project.
How Long Does a Kitchen Remodel Take?
Timeline is one of the first things we discuss during your consultation — because the honest answer depends entirely on your specific project.
A focused cabinet and countertop update looks very different on the calendar than a full layout reconfiguration. Factors like permit approvals, material lead times, and the condition of your existing space all play a role.
What we can promise is a clear, realistic schedule before work ever begins — and consistent communication throughout. You'll always know where your project stands. No guessing, no radio silence.
