Kitchen Remodeling in Lexington, KY & Central Kentucky
Full Kitchen Remodels, Cabinets, Countertops, Backsplash & Layout Updates
Stak Construction remodels kitchens for homeowners throughout Lexington, Nicholasville, Georgetown, Frankfort, Versailles, and the surrounding Central Kentucky area.
Most of our kitchen projects are full kitchen remodels. That often includes new cabinets, countertops, backsplash, flooring, plumbing fixtures, lighting, trim, paint, appliance installation, and the finish details that give your kitchen character. We also handle layout changes, pantry additions, larger windows, upgraded vent hoods, pot fillers, islands, and custom storage when your needs call for it.
A kitchen remodel isn’t just about making the space look new. For most homeowners, it’s about making the kitchen fit your way of life. Maybe your family has grown, or maybe you now host more than you used to. Maybe you want a better place to enjoy your quiet morning coffee, for your kids to do their homework, for meal prep, casual meals, or all of the above.
We help you consider all the little details before making any big decisions.

Kitchen Remodeling Services We Offer
Stak Construction delivers quality kitchen renovations of all sizes and scopes across Central Kentucky. Whether you only need new custom cabinets or a complete rebuild from floor to finishes, we’ve done it all and can do it for you.
A full kitchen remodel might include things like demolition, layout changes, cabinet installation, countertops, backsplash, flooring, plumbing fixture updates, lighting coordination, appliance installation, drywall, paint, trim, and finish work.
We recommend this route when your entire kitchen is outdated, too small, poorly laid out, worn out, or no longer matches how your family uses the home.

Cabinets affect storage, layout, counter space, workflow, and the overall feel of the room. We install quality cabinets, including solid wood cabinetry, J&K cabinets, custom cabinets, semi-custom cabinets, stock cabinets, and customer-supplied cabinets when requested.
Cabinet installation needs to be done carefully. If the cabinets aren’t level, straight, and properly installed, it can affect the countertop installation, doors, drawers, shelving, and the way the whole kitchen functions.
We also handle countertop installs. Homeowners commonly ask for quartz and granite, though we can also install a variety of other materials, including butcher block, marble, and more. We help you choose the best countertops for you based on how your kitchen will actually be used.
Your kitchen backsplash is another area where the details truly matter. Clean grout lines, level installation, good layout planning, and careful cuts are what separate a professional backsplash from one that looks sloppy and rushed.

We install tile, hardwood, LVP, and other kitchen flooring options depending on your home, budget, and style.
We also build and install kitchen islands to help add prep space, seating, storage, and a natural gathering place.
For storage, we can install butler’s pantries, pantry expansions, custom shelving, appliance garages, spice storage, large pot-and-pan drawers, pullout storage, trash cabinet systems, coffee stations, and other additions that make the kitchen more practical and easy-to-use.

Kitchen remodels usually involve more than just the cabinets and counters.
We can handle or coordinate all kinds of additional kitchen upgrades, like plumbing changes, electrical updates, lighting, under-cabinet lighting, range hood ventilation, gas line coordination, appliance installation, flooring transitions, wall removal, framing, drywall, paint, and trim.
If any specialized plumbing or electrical work is needed, we bring in trusted local professionals with years of experience and strong reputations. You don’t have to figure out who to hire for each part of the project. We help manage that for you while Alex remains your main point of contact. If you have a particular plumber or electrician in mind, we’re more than happy to work with your preferences.

Kitchen Remodeling That Starts with How You Use the Space
Not every kitchen needs the same solution.
The main pain points for most homeowners in need of kitchen renovations are lack of storage, not enough counter or island space for food prep, poor under-cabinet lighting for functionality, or small, generic pantries that don’t fit their needs.
That’s why we start by asking how you actually use the kitchen to see what current issues need to be resolved. Once we understand what isn’t working, we can respectfully provide our professional input on what is worth changing and what can stay. At the end of the day, it’s your kitchen. We’ll build it how you want it, but we’re more than happy to provide our expertise and insight.
Our goal for every kitchen remodel goes beyond just getting a refresh. Your kitchen should make your life easier with smart solutions and more enjoyable with your dream style.

Our Kitchen Remodeling Process
Kitchen remodeling can feel overwhelming at the start because so many decisions are dependent on each other. Cabinets affect countertops. Flooring affects transitions. Plumbing affects layout. Lighting affects how the materials look. Appliance placement affects daily usage.
We remove the stress by keeping the process clear, personal, and organized from the first conversation to the final walkthrough.

What We Look for During the First Walkthrough
A kitchen estimate should be more than a quick measurement with a rough price.
Before we quote the project, we make sure we understand the space, your home, and what you’re trying to accomplish. During the walkthrough, we may look at:
• How the current layout works
• Whether a layout change makes sense
• Cabinet condition and storage limitations
• Flooring condition and transitions
• Plumbing locations
• Electrical and lighting needs
• Appliance placement
• Wall removal possibilities
• Range hood or ventilation needs
• Pantry space and counter space
• Traffic flow
• Whether the refrigerator, oven, and dishwasher can open comfortably
• Signs of leaks or water damage
• Squeaky or uneven floors
• Whether the new style will fit the rest of the home
• Budget expectations and whether the desired scope is realistic
We’ll also tell you if something sounds good in theory but may not work well in practice, because the best remodeling decisions can sometimes be what you decide not to do.

Built on Prep Work, Level Surfaces, and Clean Finish Details
A kitchen remodel has a lot of visible parts, but the finished result depends heavily on the invisible prep work.
If the structural or functional components of your kitchen are in bad shape, a surface-level renovation won’t solve anything. This could look like floors or walls that are uneven, plumbing that’s outdated, cabinets that aren’t level, countertops without a solid foundation, backsplash with poor lines, inconsistent flooring transitions, or lighting and fixtures that don’t align with your vision.
That’s why we pay attention to details like floor leveling, cabinet installation, wall conditions, subfloor issues, plumbing updates, backsplash layout, and how all the materials meet each other. Our goal is for your new kitchen to look clean, stand solid, and work efficiently for years to come.

Kitchen Remodel Cost in Lexington & Central Kentucky
Kitchen remodeling costs vary based on the size of the kitchen, the condition of the existing space, the materials selected, and whether the project includes layout changes, plumbing, electrical, walls, flooring, appliances, or custom storage.
Most kitchen projects in Central Kentucky fall into one of these general ranges:
Most kitchen projects in Central Kentucky fall into one of these general ranges:
$10,000–$25,000
This range fits the scope of a lot of smaller kitchen updates, like a new backsplash, flooring, fixtures, limited cabinet work, lighting updates, or targeted improvements that don’t involve a full redesign or sweeping upgrades.
$25,000–$50,000
This range encompasses kitchen renovations involving new cabinets, countertops, backsplash, flooring, fixtures, and finish work while still keeping much of the existing layout in place.
$50,000+
Full kitchen remodels that require layout changes, custom cabinets, premium countertops, larger islands, pantry work, plumbing or electrical updates, wall changes, upgraded lighting, and higher-end finishes fall into this range.
The biggest factors that can push a remodel into this price range are the kitchen size, cabinet quality, countertop material, backsplash complexity, flooring material, appliance changes, plumbing changes, electrical and lighting upgrades, wall removal, pantry work, island features, custom storage, hidden leaks, subfloor corrections, and special material availability.
There’s a lot to carefully consider when undertaking a large kitchen renovation, so we take our time to completely understand your project before giving you a full, customized, accurate quote.

How Long Does a Kitchen Remodel Take?
Kitchen renovation timelines depend on the scope, material availability, custom work, and what we find once the old materials are removed.
A smaller kitchen update may take about 1–2 weeks. A cabinet, countertop, and backsplash update may take about 2–5 weeks. A full kitchen remodel often takes about 4–8 weeks, and that can stretch to 12+ weeks If major layout changes are included.
Common factors that can add to your timeframe include cabinet lead times, countertop fabrication, custom shelving or pantry work, material delays, wall removals, plumbing changes, electrical upgrades, gas line coordination, range hood or ventilation changes, hidden leaks, water damage, subfloor repairs, outdated plumbing, or changes to the scope after the work begins.
We would rather take the time to do the work the right way than rush through it and compromise the long-term quality of your kitchen.

Preparing for Life Without a Kitchen During the Remodel
Before the actual work begins, we help homeowners understand how the remodel period will affect their daily lives. Depending on the scope of the project, you may need to set up a temporary kitchen area with a microwave, coffee maker, mini fridge, toaster oven, or other essentials. It’s also a great idea to plan simple meals ahead of time, move everyday dishes and pantry items to an accessible place, and decide how you’ll navigate the messiest and most disruptive parts of the renovation.
We don’t pretend that a kitchen remodel is an effortless and easy time period for you as the homeowner. We respect our neighbors enough to help them prepare for the disruption with clear and manageable advice, and are glad to help where we can.
