We build complete, design-build kitchen remodels for Cheney homeowners, handling design, cabinetry, stone fabrication, materials, and installation under one contract. America’s Dream HomeWorks is a family-owned home remodeling company that has served 19,000+ homeowners since 2001, and everything we do stays in-house, so you never have to chase a second contractor. If you want one accountable team for your whole kitchen remodel, that is exactly how we work.
Our design-build approach keeps your project cohesive from the first measurement to the final walkthrough, with thoughtful design shaped around how your family actually cooks and gathers. Our regional showroom sits at 104 S. Moyie St. in Post Falls, about a 40-mile drive from Cheney, where you can see and compare materials before you commit to a single detail. Every kitchen renovation we take on starts with listening, not with a sales pitch.

Our Kitchen and Bathroom Remodeling Services in Cheney
We handle the complete kitchen remodel in-house, from demolition through the final walkthrough, so your project moves through one coordinated team instead of a stack of separate trades. A good kitchen renovation balances how it looks with how it works, and that balance is easier to hold when the people designing the space also build it. As a full-service remodeling company, we also take on bathroom renovation, exteriors, and whole-home remodeling projects, so a kitchen and bathroom update can share one contract when it makes sense.
Planning for real storage solutions and a highly functional, efficient layout matters as much as the finishes you pick. Our design services think through where your pantry items, cookware, and daily tools live before we ever talk about countertop edges. That early planning is how we create a kitchen that genuinely fits your routine. You can explore the full scope on our kitchen remodeling page, or walk through the sub-services below.
Custom Kitchen Cabinets & Cabinet Refacing
Our DreamLine Custom Cabinetry is made in-house and carries a limited lifetime warranty. If your existing kitchen layout works but the look is tired, cabinet refacing gives your space new life at a lower cost than a full tear-out, which suits many of Cheney’s newer subdivision homes well. It is one of the most cost effective solutions we offer for a kitchen that needs a new face more than a new footprint, and it keeps your remodel budget focused where it counts.
Countertops & In-House Stone Fabrication
We fabricate countertops in our own shop on a CNC machine, cutting Quartz, Cambria, Silestone, Dekton, granite, and natural stone to your exact kitchen. These durable materials resist staining and moisture, and their reflective surfaces keep the room looking bright through years of daily cooking and cleanup, while the quality of the fabrication shows in how cleanly the seams land. Bringing stone work in-house also keeps that part of your project on one schedule instead of waiting on an outside vendor.
Flooring, Tile, Lighting & Full Layout Redesign
We install luxury vinyl plank, hardwood, laminate, and tile, including RIVA Spain and Cortona Maxx lines, then layer in the lighting and layout changes that make a kitchen function. Good lighting does real work in a kitchen, from task light over the counters to ambient fixtures that make the whole space feel larger. When we reconfigure a space, we keep the work triangle between the sink, range, and refrigerator in the comfortable 13 to 26 foot range so cooking flows and the room keeps a clean, open style.
Full Kitchen Renovation: Design Through Final Finishes
We take the project from demolition through appliances, fixtures, and ventilation with one accountable team start to finish, right down to the final finishes. Proper ventilation gets real attention from us, because a well-vented kitchen manages humidity and keeps moisture from causing problems behind your new cabinets. This is how we create a kitchen that works as hard as it looks good, with clean lines, better flow, and a functional layout built around how you actually cook.
Why Cheney Homeowners Choose Our Kitchen Remodeling Company
You choose us because one team owns your entire kitchen remodel, instead of leaving you to juggle a designer, a cabinet shop, a countertop vendor, and separate installers. We design it, build the cabinets, fabricate the stone, order the materials, and install it ourselves. That single-contract structure is the honest answer to the biggest worry homeowners carry: will the contractor who starts the job actually finish it. Whether this is your first remodel or your third, the focus stays on getting the details right.
We have done this since 2001, earning an A+ rating with the BBB and serving more than 19,000 homeowners across our regions. We are EPA Lead-Safe Certified, which matters in older Cheney homes where a careless demolition can disturb lead paint. Every remodel carries a 24-month labor warranty, and DreamLine cabinetry adds its limited lifetime warranty on top. That combination protects both your budget and your peace of mind long after construction wraps.
What Our Client Reviews Say
Our client reviews consistently point to the same thing: clear communication and craftsmanship that holds up. Homeowners tell us the materials chosen for their kitchens still look and perform the way they expected years later, which is exactly the standard of quality we hold ourselves to on every project.
Before you hire anyone, confirm your contractor is registered, bonded, and insured for Washington work through the state Labor & Industries verify tool. We hold Washington registration and encourage you to check it. Hiring a local team that knows the regional housing stock, keeps clear communication, and writes the scope into your contract is how you avoid the surprises that give remodeling a bad name. It also keeps construction disruption to your daily routine to a minimum.

How Our Cheney Home Remodeling Process Works, From Design to Final Walkthrough
Our process runs in clear stages so you always know what comes next and what it costs. We handle the permitting and inspections most plans require, so you are not standing in line at a city counter.
- Free in-home consultation and measure. We visit your Cheney home, take exact measurements, and listen to how you want the space to work around your family’s unique needs.
- Design, 3D visualization, and showroom selections. You see your kitchen in 3D and choose cabinetry, countertops, flooring, and fixtures from a wide selection of materials at our Post Falls showroom before anything is ordered.
- Scope-based estimate and permit coordination. We give you a free estimate tied to your real scope, and we recommend setting aside a 15% to 20% contingency fund so budget surprises in an older home do not derail the project. We coordinate permitting as part of this step.
- Build with staged inspections. Our crews handle the construction on a schedule, with inspections called at the right stages. We confirm custom cabinets and high-end appliances early, since those can carry delayed shipping windows that affect your start date.
- Final walkthrough. We review every detail with you before we consider the job done.
Remodeling Kitchens Across Cheney: Neighborhoods, Permits & Climate
Cheney’s kitchens span several distinct building eras, and each one changes how we approach a remodel. The oldest homes sit in the original triangle surrounding downtown, and the Central Cheney Historic District between the university campus and the former railroad tracks holds front-gabled cottages, Victorian porch houses, and American vernacular architecture with Victorian and Arts and Crafts influences. Kitchens in these homes often need custom-fit cabinetry for irregular walls, and because the main floor layout can hide outdated wiring or tired pipe runs, we investigate concealed plumbing and electrical early before demolition begins.
Cheney grew west of Washington Street and north of Oakland Street through the 1960s and 1970s, and those kitchens frequently need an updated layout, lighting, electrical capacity, and storage to match how families cook and host dining now. The north-side neighborhoods built mostly in the 1990s and 2000s, including Golden Hills, The Orchards, Avalon, Parkside, and Hampton Commons, are strong candidates for refacing, countertop replacement, and added islands or pantry storage. A major renovation in any era can call for structural changes and meaningful electrical and plumbing updates once walls open up, and each of those changes shapes the cost and the plan.
For work inside city limits, the City of Cheney Building Department at 112 Anderson Road issues building, plumbing, mechanical, and combination permits. Electrical permits and inspections run through Washington State Labor & Industries rather than the City, so a full kitchen project can involve two authorities. Finish-only updates like cabinets, countertops, and tile are listed as building-permit exemptions, while moving walls or changing plumbing, gas, ventilation, or electrical usually triggers permits. Any structural work tied to removing a wall gets confirmed against your exact parcel before work starts.
If your kitchen grows into an addition or gains new exterior openings, Cheney’s design criteria come into play: a 39-pound-per-square-foot ground snow load, 110-mph ultimate wind speed, seismic category C, severe weathering, and a 24-inch frost depth. The surrounding landscape of rolling loess hills, basalt, and shrub-steppe sits in a semi-arid climate with real winters, so we build travel and delivery buffers into winter schedules for efficiency. Our crews reach Cheney from Post Falls by heading west on I-90 to Exit 270, then SR 904, which becomes First Street through downtown.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit to remodel my kitchen in Cheney?
It depends on scope. Finish-only work such as cabinets, countertops, and tile is listed among Cheney’s building-permit exemptions, while moving walls or changing plumbing, gas, ventilation, or electrical usually triggers permits. The City of Cheney Building Department at 112 Anderson Road handles building, plumbing, and mechanical permits, and electrical work goes through Washington State Labor & Industries. We confirm the exact requirements for your project before any work begins.
Who pulls the permits, you or me?
We coordinate permitting as part of your project scope. City building, plumbing, and mechanical permits go through the Cheney Building Department, and electrical permits and inspections go through Washington State Labor & Industries. You do not have to manage either counter yourself.
How long does Cheney’s permit review take?
Minor residential reviews are generally completed within one week, and the City recommends allowing at least two weeks for additions and other major work. Plumbing and mechanical permits are often issued same day. Keep in mind this is review time, not total construction time; most kitchen remodeling projects run several months from demolition to completion, and you will lose access to cooking and storage areas for part of that stretch.
What is a realistic kitchen remodel cost, and what is the most expensive part?
There is no honest flat number, because scope drives the cost. Cabinets are typically the largest line item in a kitchen remodel. We give you a detailed, scope-based estimate after we measure and understand your material selections, and we suggest setting aside a 15% to 20% contingency so your budget has room to breathe. Book a free consultation and we will build you a real kitchen remodel cost number tied to your vision.
Do you serve Cheney from your Post Falls showroom?
Yes. We serve Cheney homeowners across the state line from our showroom at 104 S. Moyie St. in Post Falls, about 40 miles away via I-90 and SR 904. Many homeowners searching for kitchen remodeling near me in Cheney start with a showroom visit to compare cabinetry, countertops, and flooring under one roof.
Can I remodel a historic-core kitchen without losing its character?
Yes. Our custom DreamLine cabinetry is built to fit the irregular spaces common in the Central Cheney Historic District’s cottages and Victorian porch houses. We investigate concealed plumbing and electrical early so the modern updates work without erasing the home’s character.
