We design, build, and install complete kitchens for Colbert homeowners as one accountable, family-owned team, with nothing handed off to a second contractor. America’s Dream HomeWorks has been a design-build remodeling company since 2001, has served more than 19,000 homeowners, and backs every remodel with a 24-month labor warranty. As full-service home remodelers, we serve Colbert, an unincorporated Spokane County community, from our Post Falls design center, where you can see custom kitchen cabinets, countertops, tile, and flooring together in one space before you decide.
Because we handle design, permitting, cabinetry, countertop fabrication, and installation in-house, your kitchen remodel runs on one schedule with one point of contact. That matters most when a Colbert renovation changes a layout, moves plumbing, or opens a wall, where licensed, coordinated work protects both quality and your budget. If you’ve been searching for kitchen remodeling near me and want a single accountable partner, that is exactly how we work.
Schedule a free consultation and we’ll walk your kitchen with you, no pressure.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Colbert
One in-house team carries your remodeling project from first sketch to final walkthrough, so you never manage multiple trades yourself. Our design services cover everything from layout to the last fixture, and the same team handles bathroom remodel work when your project touches more than one room.
Full Kitchen Remodels and Layout Changes for Better Flow
We open compartmentalized kitchens to living and dining areas, install beams in place of load-bearing walls, and redesign the work triangle so cooking, prep, and cleanup flow within a comfortable 13 to 26 feet. Local Colbert permits on file include exactly this kind of work: a 2019 kitchen and living-room remodel with a load-bearing wall, a new beam, and relocated plumbing; a 2021 remodel replacing a wall with a beam; and a 2022 project opening a wall and changing windows and doors. Thoughtful design like this gives your family better flow and a kitchen that actually fits how you live, and it’s the foundation of every kitchen renovation we take on. We bring the same clean lines and attention to detail whether this is your first remodel or your third.
DreamLine Custom Kitchen Cabinets, Storage, and Refacing
Our DreamLine Custom Cabinetry is made in America and carries a limited lifetime warranty, built in our own shop to the exact dimensions of your existing kitchen. Custom kitchen cabinets are often the largest line item in a kitchen remodel, so building them ourselves keeps quality and cost under our control. When your boxes are sound, refacing is a cost effective way to transform the look and add storage solutions without a full teardown, a smart move for a budget-minded renovation. We offer a wide selection of styles so the storage fits your unique needs, not a template.
In-House Countertop Fabrication with Durable Materials
We fabricate quartz, Cambria, Silestone, Dekton, and granite on our own CNC equipment, so your countertops are cut and finished by the same company installing them. That control means tighter seams and durable materials with reflective surfaces built to stand up to daily family cooking while keeping a modern look.
Flooring, Tile, and Lighting Designed for Natural Light
We plan flooring, tile, lighting, range hoods, and appliance placement as one design, not an afterthought. Good lighting and proper ventilation make a real difference in a kitchen used through long Colbert winters, and bright, well-placed fixtures help a kitchen feel larger and highly functional. We offer hardwood and other options, specify moisture-resistant materials suited to the region, and help you choose appliances and a stove layout that match the way you cook.
Plumbing Relocation and Structural Coordination
Moving a sink, adding an island, or taking out a wall touches plumbing, framing, and sometimes engineering. We coordinate all of it under one roof so the trades are sequenced correctly and inspected on time, whether the job is a single kitchen or a whole-home renovation. The result is a space with real efficiency, giving an older kitchen new life.
Why Colbert Homeowners Choose These Home Remodelers
You get one accountable in-house team, real credentials, county permit knowledge, and clear communication, so trust comes before the fun of picking finishes. Here is what stands behind that.
- Family-owned, design-build since 2001, with more than 19,000 homeowners served.
- Everything in-house, under one roof. We’ll never send you searching for a second contractor to finish what we started.
- 24-month labor warranty on your remodel, plus a limited lifetime warranty on DreamLine Custom Cabinetry.
- We serve Colbert from our Post Falls design center. We don’t keep a Colbert office, and we won’t pretend to.
- Washington contractor license on file (we confirm current status before your project begins), so the state line between our showroom and your home is not an obstacle.
- A+ BBB Accredited and EPA Lead-Safe Certified, which matters for any home old enough to need a careful remodel.
Because Colbert is unincorporated, your kitchen renovation runs through Spokane County, not a city hall, and the same holds for buyers comparing us across county lines rather than King County to the west. One project manager on our side handles permits, materials, and the schedule so you don’t chase paperwork between agencies. Hiring a licensed kitchen remodeling company is the simplest safeguard for quality on a structural kitchen remodel, and it’s non-negotiable for us.

How Your Colbert Kitchen Remodel Works
Your remodel follows a clear five-step process, with a written scope and milestone updates instead of a one-size-fits-all promise. Planning and materials always come before demolition, and our designers keep the focus on what you want to create.
- Step 1: Free consultation and measure. We visit your home, listen to how you use the kitchen, and take accurate measurements.
- Step 2: Design and selections at the Post Falls showroom. You compare cabinetry, countertops, tile, and flooring in person and lock in the look.
- Step 3: Written scope, project-specific estimate, and permit coordination. We detail what changes and handle the county applications your project requires.
- Step 4: Build. Demo, plumbing and electrical, cabinets, countertops, fixtures, and finishes, sequenced by one team.
- Step 5: Final walkthrough, inspections, and warranty. We confirm every detail and hand you the warranty coverage in writing once the work is complete.
Planning a kitchen renovation can take several months once you account for permitting and material lead times, so we investigate existing conditions early. Homes built in the 1990s and 2000s sometimes carry outdated wiring that needs upgrading during a remodel, and we recommend setting aside a 10% to 15% contingency on older homes for what opening walls can reveal. Keeping that cushion in your budget protects the look you want when surprises surface.
Remodeling in Colbert: Permits, Homes, and Climate
Because Colbert is unincorporated, your kitchen permits go through Spokane County, not a city office. Spokane County Building and Planning, at 1026 W Broadway Avenue, 509-477-3675, issues residential building, plumbing, and mechanical permits for the area. Electrical permits are handled separately by the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries. We manage this split for you on every remodeling project.
Structural changes, plumbing relocation, and mechanical work such as a new range hood and duct trigger permits; a straight cabinet or countertop swap usually does not. As context, the county fee schedule lists a $194.41 processing fee and a $328.90 inspection fee for a residential alteration, plus a $6.50 state surcharge. Those are permit fees, not the price of your remodel. The county’s brochure notes that complete alteration applications may receive same-day issuance and that inspections can often be scheduled within 24 hours, which we verify against current workload before we promise a date.
Colbert’s housing stock is well suited to this work. In ZIP code 99005, about 24.2% of homes were built in the 1990s and 32.3% from 2000 to 2009, a stretch of family homes with classic charm now ready for a first or second kitchen update. You’ll find them along the corridors most residents use to orient themselves, from Midway Elementary at 821 E Midway Road to Bidwell Community Park at 801 E Handy Road, and out toward the Colbert Road bridge over the Little Spokane River. That bridge is scheduled for replacement in 2027, with a detour announced over Little Spokane Drive, Woolard Road, and Highway 2, so we plan delivery access around it when the work begins.
Winter is the other planning factor. Many Colbert kitchens feel dark in the cold months, so we design for natural light where a layout allows it and add fixtures that keep the dining and counter areas bright, even where a low ceiling limits options. Snow can affect material delivery and staging, so we protect cabinets, flooring, and finishes from moisture and sudden temperature swings and keep your conditioned living space sealed off from the work. We serve all of it from the Post Falls design center.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit to remodel my kitchen in Colbert, WA?
Structural changes, plumbing relocation, and mechanical work require permits, while cosmetic cabinet or countertop swaps usually do not. Spokane County Building and Planning issues the building, plumbing, and mechanical permits for unincorporated Colbert, and electrical permits are issued separately by the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries. We handle the applications for the scope your project needs.
How much does a full kitchen remodel cost in Colbert?
There’s no fixed range, because cost depends on layout changes, cabinetry, countertops, plumbing, electrical work, appliances, and finishes. Custom kitchen cabinets are often the largest single line item. We provide a written, project-specific estimate at no charge, and we suggest a 10% to 15% contingency in your budget on older homes.
How long will I be without a working kitchen?
Timing is project-specific, and planning and materials come before construction. Layout changes, engineering, permits, and material lead times all affect the schedule, which is why a kitchen remodel can take several months from start to finish. We give you a written plan and milestone updates so you always know where things stand.
Are you licensed to work in Washington if your showroom is in Post Falls?
Yes. We serve Colbert and the greater Spokane area from our Post Falls design center under our Washington contractor license, with current status confirmed before your project starts. We’re family-owned and have worked in-house since 2001.
Do you build custom cabinets or order them from another company?
We build our own DreamLine Custom Cabinetry in-house, backed by a limited lifetime warranty, and we fabricate countertops in our own shop. That keeps quality, fit, and timing under our control.
Can I see cabinets and countertops before I decide?
Yes. Visit our Post Falls design center to compare cabinetry, countertops, tile, flooring, and coordinated finishes under one roof before you sign anything.
