Getting three real quotes in Portland is easy once every shop is looking at the same drawings. For a fixed $299, our in-house designers lay your kitchen out in a real US cabinet catalog and send you the floor plan, elevations, renders, and an itemized part-number list in 3–5 business days — yours to keep and yours to shop.

How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Portland?
Two things move a Portland kitchen price more than anything else: how many cabinets the room needs, and whether the sink, range, and fridge stay put. Full remodels nationally tend to run about $15,000 to $60,000 installed, and the honest answer for your kitchen sits somewhere in there until it has been measured and drawn — which is what the design settles before you take a single quote.
The one figure we can fix in advance is the design itself: $299, flat, with three revision rounds included and a full refund if you change your mind before the first draft lands.
What actually moves the number
Cabinets
Usually the biggest line. The same layout in a value line versus a semi-custom one can change the cabinet total several times over, which is why an itemized list beats a lump sum every time.
Layout changes
Leaving the sink, range, and fridge where they are keeps plumbing, gas, and venting cheap. Moving them is where budgets quietly double.
Counters and appliances
Priced separately from cabinets and easy to leave out of a budget. Decide the range and the hood early — both change the cabinet run above and beside them.
Local labor
Varies by market more than materials do. Installed quotes from a few shops around Portland are the only reliable way to learn your local rate.
Where do I get cabinets in Portland?
Cabinet makers in and around Portland do their best work from a drawing, not a description. Give a shop a dimensioned plan, elevations, and an itemized list of what to order, and a firm installed price comes back in days. Give them a photo off the internet and you get a guess, a discovery visit, or a number padded for everything nobody has decided yet.
Every packet carries a QR verification mark: any shop can scan it to confirm the packet is genuine and consult our design team about design intent.
Where cabinets actually come from
Independent cabinet shops and cabinet makers
Build or order to your drawings, and often the best value on anything the catalogs don't cover. Bring dimensioned elevations and most can quote quickly.
Kitchen and bath dealers
Carry one or two manufacturer lines and usually offer design free — in exchange for keeping the drawings. A fine place to get a quote once you already own a design.
Lumberyards and home centers
Stock a value line and can special-order more. Convenient and competitive on standard sizes, generally slowest on anything modified.
Wholesale and online cabinet sellers
“Wholesale kitchen cabinets” usually means ready-to-assemble boxes shipped to you, with install left on your side. Cheapest per box, and only safe if your list is exact — a wrong width is your problem once it's on the truck.
Do I have to use the shop that designs my kitchen?
No. The trade hidden inside free kitchen design is that the shop invests the design hours and keeps the only quotable version of your kitchen; in Portland or anywhere else, that is lock-in, and it is why so many remodels get bid exactly once. A design you own is a fixed, one-time cost that turns every cabinet shop in the area into a competing bidder on the same drawings.

Common questions
Can I pay someone to design my kitchen without buying the cabinets from them?
Yes — that is exactly what this is. A fixed $299 for the design, with no cabinet sale attached and no commission on whatever you end up buying. We don't sell cabinets, so the layout we draw is the one that fits your room rather than the one that moves inventory.
Do I have to measure the kitchen myself?
Yes, and it takes about 20 minutes with a tape measure and our guided steps — there is no site visit. Before anything is ordered, the shop or installer you hire verifies the measurements on site, which is standard practice and keeps a mis-measure from becoming a mis-order.
What do I actually receive?
A measured floor plan, dimensioned elevations of every cabinet wall, 3D renders, and an itemized list of cabinets and hardware with real manufacturer part numbers — together, the Design Packet. It arrives in 3–5 business days, in your name, with three free revision rounds included.
Is a design worth paying for if I already know the layout I want?
Often yes, because the layout you want and the layout that can be ordered are not always the same thing. Cabinets come in fixed widths, fillers and clearances eat inches, and appliance specs constrain the runs around them — a drawn set turns your idea into sizes a shop can actually buy.
