Over 20 years experience in all phases of construction in the Salt Lake City area doing the very best in quality construction. Call today for the best in quality, value and service.
"The kitchen remodel was completed and looks beautiful. It was disappointing that some the specifications outline in the hire agreement were not met or difficult to achieve. Sink install is too small. Alcove for refrigerator reduced from 33" to 30". Disappointing. Communications were difficult when messages were not responded to or calls not taken by the contractor. The crew performing the work were very pleasant and helpful. Seemed as if the construction and subcontractors were brought in last minute and it became a rush job even though the planning was started 4 weeks prior to construction. The work had to be monitored. The kitchen construction was completed in 2 weeks. Over all the work is very good."

"We hired GID Construction to redo our old garage, build a master bedroom addition, and transform our backyard. So far they’ve built a retaining wall and patio, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. The craftsmanship is beautiful—solid, clean, and thoughtfully done. From the beginning, Jorden and Sam have been friendly, responsive, and open to our ideas, making the process smooth and collaborative. This was just the first phase of our project, and based on how great this experience has been, we’re really looking forward to working with them again on our upcoming garage/bedroom addition. Highly recommended!"

When your kitchen renovation includes major modifications, you’ll likely need to apply for one or more permits. The cost of building permits typically ranges from $450 to $2,400. Don’t forget to factor in the timescales for application and approval. Electrical and plumbing permits are sometimes issued immediately, while structural applications can take 4 to 6 weeks to process. Always consult with relevant local parties, as permit requirements vary by state and city; you may need separate plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and structural work permits. You rarely need a permit to complete the work for basic remodels involving refacing cabinets, re-flooring, or re-tiling.
A kitchen remodel typically takes anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. The timeline depends on your project’s complexity, your experience level, and the size of your kitchen. Larger projects that involve structural changes, wall removals, and floor plan reconfiguration will take significantly longer than smaller remodels like installing new cabinets or countertops. The timeline can also vary depending on the number of hours you can dedicate to the project per day. For example, if you can only dedicate nights and weekends to the work, this’ll extend the timescale.
Cabinets are typically the most expensive component of a kitchen remodel. Even semi-custom cabinetry can cost $20,000 or more, depending on the size of your kitchen. If you want to save money on your kitchen remodel costs, consider just refacing your kitchen cabinets by putting in new doors and drawer fronts, for example, or just repainting them instead of installing new ones.
Cabinets are basically the building blocks of your kitchen; they take up the most space in the kitchen and are typically the first thing people notice when they walk in. Increasing their aesthetic value, therefore, has the potential to add the most value to your kitchen. Other features that’ll also add great value to your kitchen are energy-efficient appliances and durable and stylish countertops.
Remodeling a kitchen is, in most cases, worth the time, money, and effort. For starters, a great new kitchen can improve the livability and functionality of your home. Additionally, research shows that a kitchen remodel can return up to 60% to 80% of the money put into it, depending on the size of the remodel and location of the home or neighborhood.
