Kitchen Remodeling in Bryn Mawr, PA
Design-build kitchen renovations for Bryn Mawr’s stone colonials, Tudors and center-hall homes — custom cabinetry, opened-up layouts and pro-grade kitchens, planned and built by one accountable team.
What a Kitchen Remodel Costs in Bryn Mawr
Most of the kitchens we renovate in Bryn Mawr land between $60,000 and $110,000, and a full-custom kitchen with structural changes runs $110,000 and up. A mid-range remodel that keeps the existing layout typically comes in at $30,000–$60,000.
The spread is driven less by the size of the room than by what happens to it: whether walls come down, whether the sink and range move, whether the cabinetry is semi-custom or built for the room, and how much of a century-old house has to be brought up to code once it is opened.
Full ranges, per-square-foot figures and where the money goes are in our kitchen remodel cost guide.
Types of Kitchen Remodels We Do in Bryn Mawr
Full Gut Kitchen Renovation
Taken back to the studs: new layout, plumbing, electrical, cabinetry, stone and appliances. The most common project we build on the Main Line.
Opening the Kitchen to the Family Room
Removing or opening a bearing wall so the kitchen works with the rest of the first floor. Engineered beam, permits and finish work handled in-house.
Custom Cabinetry & Islands
Inset and full-overlay cabinetry, furniture-style islands, butler’s pantries and built-in coffee and bar stations made for the room rather than ordered off a chart.
Kitchen Built Into an Addition
When the existing footprint cannot hold the kitchen you want, a rear addition can. See home additions in Bryn Mawr.
Renovating Kitchens in Bryn Mawr’s Older Homes
Many Bryn Mawr kitchens were designed as service rooms — closed off from the rest of the house, with a separate pantry and a back stair. Making them the centre of the house usually means reworking walls, not just replacing cabinets.
Opening those walls on a hundred-year-old home reliably finds something: knob-and-tube or undersized wiring, galvanized supply lines, plaster over lath that has to be patched to match, and floors that are out of level. We look for it before we quote, so the number you approve is the number you build to.
We also design to the house. Inset cabinetry, plaster-style walls, period-appropriate trim and lighting that suits the architecture are what most Bryn Mawr homeowners ask for — with a kitchen that works like a modern one.
How a Bryn Mawr Kitchen Renovation Works, Step by Step
Consultation
We walk the kitchen and the rooms around it, look at what sits behind the walls, and talk honestly about scope and budget.
Design & selections
Layout, cabinetry, stone, appliances and lighting are locked before demolition. Choosing mid-build is the biggest cause of delay.
Permits
Plumbing, electrical and any structural work is permitted with the township — Bryn Mawr spans Lower Merion, Radnor and Haverford. We file and manage inspections.
Build
One crew and a published schedule, with dust protection and a temporary kitchen plan so the house keeps working.

Bryn Mawr Kitchen Remodeling FAQ
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Bryn Mawr?
Most Bryn Mawr kitchen renovations we build land between $60,000 and $110,000. A full-custom kitchen with structural changes runs $110,000 and up, and a mid-range remodel that keeps the existing layout typically costs $30,000–$60,000.
How long does a kitchen renovation take?
Design and selections usually take four to eight weeks. Construction on a full gut kitchen typically runs eight to twelve weeks once cabinetry is on site; custom cabinetry lead times and structural work extend that.
Can you remove the wall between the kitchen and the family room?
Usually, yes. Most of those walls are bearing, so we engineer a beam, permit the work and handle the structural and finish work in-house so the change looks like it was always there.
Do I need a permit for a kitchen remodel in Bryn Mawr?
If plumbing, electrical or structural work is involved — which it nearly always is — yes. Depending on the address that permit comes from Lower Merion, Radnor or Haverford Township. We prepare and submit it and manage inspections.
Can we live in the house during the remodel?
Yes. We seal the work area, protect floors and walkways, and set up a temporary kitchen so the rest of the house stays usable.
Do you design the kitchen as well as build it?
Yes. Design, selections, engineering, permits and construction are handled by one team, so there is one schedule and one point of accountability.
