Client Testimonials
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Pittsburgh?
It depends on scope. A cosmetic update, a full remodel with new cabinetry and surfaces, and a structural reconfiguration that opens up walls sit in very different investment ranges. Older Pittsburgh homes often reveal electrical, plumbing, or framing work once walls are open, so every Frontline proposal includes allowances for those unknowns. Share your goals in a consultation and you will have a realistic range before design begins.
How long does a kitchen remodel take?
Most Frontline kitchen remodels take 8 to 14 weeks of construction once design and selections are finalized. Design, selections, and permitting come before that, which is why we recommend reaching out 3 to 6 months ahead of your ideal start date. You get a clear schedule up front, and we stick to it.
Do I need permits for a kitchen remodel in Pittsburgh?
Usually, yes. Moving walls, adding electrical circuits, relocating plumbing, or changing structure requires permits and inspections from your municipality. Frontline handles permit applications and inspection scheduling as part of the design-build process, so you are not managing that yourself.
Can we live at home during a kitchen remodel?
Most families do. We set up a temporary kitchen plan, seal off the work zone, and protect the rest of the house. For larger projects that open up the first floor, we walk you through what to expect and help you decide whether to stay or plan time away.
Who handles cabinetry, countertops, and appliance selections?
We do, with you. Cabinetry, countertops, tile, fixtures, lighting, and appliances are selected and specified during the design phase, before anything is ordered. Custom cabinetry lead times are built into the schedule from the start so there are no surprises mid-build.
Which Pittsburgh neighborhoods do you remodel kitchens in?
Frontline remodels kitchens throughout Pittsburgh's established neighborhoods, including Fox Chapel, Squirrel Hill, Point Breeze, Mt. Lebanon, Shadyside, Sewickley, Wexford, and Cranberry Township. If you are in greater Pittsburgh and value a design-build approach, we are happy to talk through your project.
