About Us: Artisan Kitchen Works
What We Do
We help Tacoma homeowners transform their kitchens from functional spaces to stunning, efficient, and lasting centers of their homes. Artisan Kitchen Works blends expert design consultation, transparent project management, and high-quality local craftsmanship so your remodel stays on budget, on schedule, and exceeds your expectations. We plan around permitting schedules, local vendor supply chains, and the unique architectural styles of Tacoma homes—from Proctor to the North End.
Our Mission
To make the kitchen remodeling process predictable, enjoyable, and financially sound by focusing on clear communication, superior materials, and reliable execution. We want you to feel excited about your new kitchen, confident in our process, and happy with the value delivered.
How We Make Things Better
1) We Start with the Right Design (Function First)
A great kitchen isn’t just beautiful—it works. We treat your kitchen remodel as a problem-solving exercise. We find the root causes of poor flow, lack of storage, and outdated systems, then build a design that solves those challenges.
- Lifestyle Assessment: Mapping daily flow (cooking, eating, entertaining, working).
- Space Optimization: Finding solutions for awkward corners, poor lighting, or limited storage.
- Materials Specification: Guiding you through local, durable options for cabinets, countertops, and flooring.
- Budget Alignment: Creating a design that matches your aesthetic goals to your financial limits.
2) Exclusion Beats Overruns (Precise Project Planning)
Our detailed project planning minimizes time-wasting gaps, prevents material shortages, and ensures tradespeople arrive on time, keeping your project moving smoothly.
3) Targeted, Quality Craftsmanship
We rely on a trusted network of licensed and insured Tacoma-area sub-contractors who share our commitment to precision. Work is done to code, using time-tested methods, ensuring your kitchen lasts for decades.
4) Follow-Ups That Actually Follow Through
After substantial completion, we conduct a detailed final walkthrough and promise to address the Punch List promptly.
What Changes After We Work
