How we run kitchen remodels.

Kitchen RemodelingEdina kitchens reward layout work and finish discipline more than they reward bigger cabinet brands. The kitchens we do well here are the ones where structural openings, cabinetry tier, stone selection, and lighting all get planned in the same conversation — and the house gets a kitchen that belongs to it, not to a showroom.
The Edina kitchen project
Most Edina kitchens we’re asked to look at fall into one of two patterns. Either the kitchen sits behind a wall from the family room or dining room and needs a structural opening to function the way families gather today — or the kitchen is in the right place but was built to a finish standard the rest of the house has long since outgrown. Both patterns can produce strong projects. They have different starting points.
The structural-opening project starts with engineering: beam pocket, load path, mechanical reroutes if HVAC or plumbing runs through the wall, lighting layout that respects the new sight lines, and cabinet planning that knows where the new vertical surfaces will be. The finish-standard project starts with cabinetry tier and stone. Both then converge into the same conversation: how does the kitchen sit with the rest of the house?
Edina kitchens age best when the finish language reads as part of the home. Inset cabinetry on a Country Club Tudor speaks the right vocabulary. Slab-front European cabinetry on a 1928 brick Cotswold does not. The right finish standard isn’t about absolute quality — it’s about coherence with the trim, the floors, the windows, and the architectural era the house is honestly working in.
Investment ranges
Most Edina kitchen remodels land $130,000 to $300,000, with significant variation driven by the four levers that move the budget on any kitchen project: structural changes, layout-driven mechanical and electrical work, cabinetry tier, and finish selections.
Country Club, Rolling Green, Indian Hills, and Highlands homes often push beyond the $300,000 line when the project includes inset custom cabinetry, panel-ready refrigeration and dishwasher, integrated coffee, layered lighting with multiple scene controls, real stone with substantial counter and backsplash runs, and trim work that matches the original house. None of those are unusual selections in this market — they’re common because the rest of the house can carry them.
The honest budget conversation starts before drawings get expensive. We sit down with allowances, structural assumptions, and cabinet tier all on the table before selections start hardening. That’s the proposal that holds together; the one built on optimistic allowances usually doesn’t.
Where we work in Edina
Country Club, Indian Hills, Rolling Green, the Highlands, Edina Heights, Morningside-adjacent streets, White Oaks, and the older blocks along Browndale and France Avenue come up most often. Each has its own architectural conversation. The Country Club Tudor and the 1960s Rolling Green rambler ask different things from a kitchen remodel; we’d rather walk the house before we propose scope.

Cost guideEdina kitchen questions we hear often
Most Edina kitchen remodels land $130,000 to $300,000. Custom cabinetry, higher-tier stone, integrated appliances, and structural work can push higher. Country Club and similar projects often run beyond $300,000 when the finish standard matches the rest of the house.
The finish standard expected in Edina homes is higher: custom or higher-tier semi-custom cabinetry, stone with real movement, integrated appliance panels, layered lighting, and trim work the rest of the house can carry. The kitchen has to belong to the house, which costs more than a generic refresh.
Often. Many Edina homes have closed-off original kitchens that benefit from a wider cased opening, a half-wall, or a full structural opening to the family room or dining room. The right opening varies by house — a 1960s rambler handles differently than a 1928 Country Club Tudor.
Country Club, Indian Hills, Rolling Green, the Highlands, Edina Heights, and the Morningside-adjacent streets come up most often. Each tends to have its own architectural language, and the kitchen plan should respect it.
Next step
Start with a scope conversation before the design conversation gets expensive. We can pressure-test the structural opening, the cabinetry tier, and the finish standard against the rest of the house.
