Setting up a temporary kitchen
Pick a room near a sink, such as a laundry room or bathroom, and move a microwave, a kettle and a small fridge there. Keep a short list of easy meals, and use paper plates on the busiest weeks.
Pack the kitchen by zone and label boxes. Keep one box of daily items, like a pan, a knife, a cutting board and a few plates. Freeze a few meals before demolition starts.
How we keep the house livable
We build zipped dust walls at the kitchen door, protect floors from the entry to the work zone, and clean at the end of each day. Bellevue's City Code sets the hours when construction noise is allowed.
BCC 9.18.020 covers those exemptions. We keep loud work to weekday daytime hours and tell you a day ahead before a loud or messy day.
Permits and timing for an Eastgate kitchen
A same-layout kitchen needs no building permit for cabinets or counters in Bellevue. Moving a sink, adding a circuit or changing a gas line needs a trade permit, and work must be inspected before walls are closed.
The City's permit FAQ lists each case. A same-layout remodel often takes about three to five weeks on site after cabinets arrive. Read how long does a kitchen remodel take for the full timeline.

FAQ
Eastgate kitchen FAQs
Can I live at home during my Eastgate kitchen remodel?
Most families can. Set up a temporary kitchen in another room, plan simple meals and expect a few loud, dusty days at the start.
How long will I be without a sink?
Usually from demolition until the counters and sink go in. The fabricator templates after cabinets are set, so plan for a gap. A laundry or bathroom sink helps.
Will the dust spread through my house?
Not much, with dust walls and daily cleanup. We seal the kitchen doorway and protect the floors along our path.
Is my Eastgate home old enough to need lead-safe work?
If it was built before 1978, plan for it. Washington requires certified firms for paid work that disturbs paint in pre-1978 homes. Read our kitchen remodel for older homes page.
