Tearing Down a Wall to See the Living Room From the Kitchen

This family wanted to see the living room from the kitchen. We removed the wall, set a structural beam, split a cramped pantry-laundry closet into two real rooms, moved the sink into a new island, and ran new flooring through every connected room.

From Our Clients

What Northshore Homeowners Say

“

His crew came in and completely gutted our tiny bathroom and put it back together with inside plumbing fixed and everything that I asked for. Ryan understood the aesthetic that I wanted and worked with me to make it happen. He even found an old cypress door that goes perfectly with the room.

Common Questions

Kitchen Renovation FAQs

How much does a kitchen renovation cost?

Most kitchen renovations fall between about $15,000 for a cosmetic refresh and $50,000 and up for a full layout change with custom cabinetry and wall removal. A remodel with new cabinets typically runs $25,000–$50,000. See our kitchen cost guide for the full breakdown.

How long does a kitchen renovation take?

Most kitchen renovations take 8–14 weeks from planning through completion, with about 6–10 of those weeks in construction. Projects involving layout changes, wall removal, or custom cabinetry may take longer.

Do you remove walls to open up a kitchen?

Yes. Opening a closed-off kitchen to the living room is one of our most common projects, including the structural beam work it requires.

Which areas do you serve?

We renovate kitchens across the Northshore, including Mandeville, Covington, Madisonville, and Abita Springs.

Do you handle permits and inspections?

Yes. As a licensed Louisiana residential contractor (License #886155), we handle permits and inspections as part of the project.
