Our Home Remodeling and Kitchen Services for Cliff/Cannon Homes
We handle every part of your kitchen remodel in-house, so you deal with one team from first sketch to final walkthrough. That means better functionality, smarter storage solutions and upgraded appliances without juggling separate trades. If this is your first remodel, that single point of contact removes a lot of stress. The result is a space that works harder and feels like home. Here is what we do.
Full Kitchen Remodels & Kitchen Renovation
Demo-to-completion kitchen remodels built for the realities of older homes. Whether you want a smarter layout inside your existing kitchen footprint or a full transformation, we improve flow, light and usable space while keeping the project on one contract. A kitchen renovation like this touches construction, electrical and plumbing, and any structural changes get coordinated under one roof.
Custom Kitchen Cabinets, DreamLine Custom Cabinetry
Our DreamLine Custom Cabinetry is made in America and carries a limited lifetime warranty. We design each run of cabinets around your original doors, windows and built-ins, which matters in homes where trim and proportions were never meant to be erased. More cabinets also means more storage without moving a wall, and we build every detail to fit the space you already have. Clean lines and thoughtful design make even a compact kitchen feel open.
Countertops & In-House Stone Fabrication
Quartz, Cambria, Silestone, Dekton, granite and natural stone countertops, CNC-fabricated in our own shop. These durable materials hold up to daily family use, and the reflective surfaces of polished stone bounce light around the room. Fabricating these materials in-house keeps quality control tight and removes a middleman from your timeline. You choose the stone, and we cut your countertops to the exact dimensions of your kitchen, including the run around your sink.
Cabinet Refacing
A cost effective way to refresh a kitchen that still has good bones. Refacing preserves the character of an older home while giving you new cabinet doors, finishes and hardware without a full teardown. It is one of the most affordable solutions when the layout already works and only the surfaces need updating.
Flooring, Tile & Lighting
Hardwood, luxury vinyl plank and tile flooring, including RIVA Spain and Cortona Maxx. We add proper task lighting and dedicated appliance circuits, which early-20th-century kitchens almost always need to run a modern range, dishwasher and microwave safely. Good lighting changes how a kitchen feels as much as how it functions, so we plan layered lighting into every design through our in-house design services.
Why Cliff/Cannon Homeowners Choose Our Kitchen Remodeling Company
Homeowners here choose us because one accountable team handles everything, and we understand the historic character of this neighborhood. Cliff/Cannon includes historic mansions, modest older homes, apartments, condominiums and restoration projects, and much of its housing stock predates modern construction. Craftsman, American Foursquare, Dutch Colonial Revival and English Arts and Crafts homes are documented within the Cannon Streetcar Suburb Historic District. These homes reward a home remodeling partner who plans carefully and respects what is already there.
One Accountable Design-Build Team, Not Subcontracted Out
We keep design, cabinetry, stone fabrication, permitting and installation in-house. You sign one contract and work with one team. When a question comes up mid-project, our own people answer it and fix it fast, instead of passing you between crews who do not talk to each other. That single line of accountability, backed by clear communication at every step, is the core of how we run every kitchen remodel.
Licensed, Insured & Proven, Plus Client Reviews
We hold Washington General Contractor License #AMERIDH752RT, we have been family-owned since 2001, and we have served more than 19,000 homeowners across thousands of remodeling projects. We are A+ rated with the BBB. Remodeling a kitchen requires a licensed, bonded and insured general contractor, and we encourage you to read our client reviews before you decide. That is how you check a remodeling company, and we welcome it.
Warranties That Back the Work
Every remodel carries a 24-month labor warranty. DreamLine Custom Cabinetry carries a separate limited lifetime warranty. Those are two distinct protections, and we keep them clear so you know exactly what stands behind your project.

How Our Kitchen Remodel Process Works
Our process moves from first call to final walkthrough in clear steps, with transparent contracts and a written change-order process so budget, permits and surprises never catch you off guard. Most kitchen remodels involve structural, electrical or plumbing changes that require permits, and those permits exist to keep your project safe and code-compliant. Here is how we handle all of it.
Step 1, Free Consultation & Showroom Visit
We start with a free estimate and an invitation to our Post Falls showroom, where you can see custom cabinets, countertops and flooring under one roof. A wide selection of fixtures, finishes and samples helps you picture the finished kitchen before anything is ordered, so the materials you choose are the materials you get.
Step 2, Design, Layout & Transparent Estimate
We plan your layout around the kitchen work triangle that connects stove, sink and refrigerator, improving traffic flow and efficiency. A highly functional layout tailored to your unique needs makes daily cooking and dining easier. Then we give you an itemized contract so there are no hidden costs. We also recommend setting aside a contingency of 10 to 20 percent of the project cost for the unexpected, which is simply smart planning in an older home.
Step 3, Permits & Approvals
We identify the required building and trade permits and file them through the City of Spokane Development Services Center at 808 W. Spokane Falls Blvd., which administers residential permitting inside the city. Where exterior elements change in a historic property, we handle the review process too.
Step 4, Build, Inspections & Change Orders
Our own crews do the construction and installation, including the final finishes that pull the whole room together. Every City-issued permit requires at least one inspection, and many kitchen projects need multiple trade and final inspections, which we schedule. If we open a wall and find concealed wiring or plumbing problems, you get a written change order with the added cost before we proceed.
Step 5, Final Walkthrough
We walk the finished kitchen with you, confirming quality, function and every detail before we consider the job done.
Remodeling Cliff/Cannon’s Historic Kitchens, What Makes This Neighborhood Different
Cliff/Cannon’s older homes and historic-district rules make kitchen remodeling here different from a generic suburban project, and planning for that difference is what protects your budget and your home’s character. The neighborhood runs from I-90 on the north to 16th Avenue on the south, with Division Street and Grand Boulevard portions on the east and the bluff on the west. The Cannon Streetcar Suburb Historic District has a period of significance of 1883 to 1955, and its inventory recorded 216 buildings from 1900 to 1909 and 85 more from 1910 to 1919. These are homes with real history worth keeping.
Historic Character, Modern Function
We integrate original trim, wood floors, windows and built-in features with new cabinetry and appliances, so the kitchen works for today without losing what makes the house special. Many of these homes keep the kitchen on the main floor near the dining room, and we respect that original flow. Interior design choices are not the primary focus of historic review. A Certificate of Appropriateness comes into play only when exterior elements change, such as a window, a visible vent or an addition.
Older Homes & Concealed Conditions
Early-20th-century kitchens often hide outdated wiring and plumbing behind the finishes, which can affect the materials chosen and the final cost once walls are open. A documented rehabilitation at 919 W. 12th Avenue included a kitchen remodel, replacement of knob-and-tube wiring, new plumbing and electrical systems, insulation, drywall and window changes. That is one home, not a diagnosis of yours, but it shows why we plan for concealed conditions and handle them through written change orders rather than surprises.
Terrain, Access & Seasonal Delivery
Cliff/Cannon’s terrain includes steep slopes, basalt outcroppings, rock walls, steps and curving streets across its steeper sections, including the blocks near Cliff Drive and Cliff Park. We assess delivery access before cabinets and stone slabs arrive, and we store and acclimate finished cabinetry and wood flooring in conditioned space. Interior work proceeds year-round, so winter does not stall your kitchen renovation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen and Bathroom Remodeling
Do I need a permit to remodel my kitchen in Cliff/Cannon?
Most kitchen and bathroom projects involving structural, electrical, plumbing or mechanical changes require permits through the City of Spokane Development Services Center at 808 W. Spokane Falls Blvd. Purely cosmetic work may not, and some small remodels can qualify for a simpler field-inspection permit. New circuits, relocated outlets and moved plumbing lines all typically require permits. We identify exactly what applies to your scope.
Is my home in the Cannon Streetcar Suburb Historic District, and can I move a kitchen window?
If your property is in the district, a Certificate of Appropriateness may apply when you pull a building permit and an exterior element changes, such as moving or resizing a kitchen window. The district overlay was approved by City Council in March 2023. Interior layout choices usually are not the focus of review. We check your status before planning any exterior change.
How much does a kitchen remodel cost near Cliff/Cannon?
Kitchen remodel cost depends on your scope, materials and layout, and City building-permit fees are based on project valuation rather than a flat remodel fee. If you have searched kitchen remodeling near me and only found vague ranges, here is a clearer picture. Cabinets alone typically run 30 to 40 percent of a kitchen budget, and keeping your existing layout can lower the overall cost significantly. The table below shows how scope drives both budget and schedule. We give you a transparent, itemized estimate at a free consultation instead of a generic range.
| Project scope | Typical cabinet share of budget | Typical timeline | What’s included |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cabinet refacing / surface refresh | Lower overall cost, layout unchanged | Shortest of the three | New cabinet doors, finishes and hardware; existing layout kept |
| Full remodel, existing layout | Cabinets about 30 to 40 percent | Often six to twelve weeks | Demo to completion, new cabinets, countertops, flooring and lighting within the current footprint |
| Full remodel, new layout | Cabinets about 30 to 40 percent, plus layout and trade work | Several weeks to a few months, larger projects longer | Moved walls, relocated plumbing and electrical, permits and multiple inspections; plan a 10 to 20 percent contingency |
How long does a full kitchen remodel take?
Most full kitchen remodels run from several weeks to a few months, with many projects landing in the six-to-twelve-week range and larger ones taking longer. Custom cabinetry lead times, layout changes and concealed conditions all affect the schedule. The City’s published residential review queue is about four weeks to first comments with a ten-day revision turnaround, which we build into the plan.
Who handles the City of Spokane permits and inspections?
We do. Our plan identifies the required building and trade permits and schedules the rough and final inspections through the City of Spokane Development Services Center. Every permitted project requires at least one inspection, and many kitchens need several, so we manage that part for you.
How far is your Post Falls showroom, and do you come to Cliff/Cannon?
Yes, we come to you. Our Post Falls design center at 104 S. Moyie St. serves homeowners throughout Greater Spokane, including Cliff/Cannon in Spokane, Washington. You are welcome to visit the showroom, and we also meet you at your home for in-person measurements and design, whether the job is a kitchen or a full bathroom with new tile and fixtures.
Ready to Transform Your Cliff/Cannon Kitchen?
The best time to start is before cabinet, countertop and appliance lead times stretch out and before winter complicates deliveries. If your remodel touches a street-visible window or vent, historic review adds lead time too, so early planning keeps your project moving.
