The cost includes Bellevue's 10.3% sales tax. The Washington Department of Revenue lists that rate for October to December 2026.
The goal
The owner wanted the kitchen to look new without paying for new cabinet boxes. The layout worked well, and the boxes were dry and square.
The City describes Crossroads as having "established single-family neighborhoods" next to its large apartment complexes. This was one of those houses.
Work done
- Moisture check of every sink base and cabinet bottom.
- New shaker doors and drawer fronts, with matching veneer on the box faces.
- New soft-close hinges and drawer slides.
- Quartz counter with an undermount sink in the same spot.
- Subway tile backsplash.
- New range in the same location on the existing circuit.
Permits
This job needed no permit. The City of Bellevue says "A building permit is not required for replacing kitchen cabinets or countertops," and it requires no permit "for replacing an appliance with a similar appliance in the same location." Both rules are on the City's permit FAQ.

What made it work
Refacing only works when the boxes are sound, so we checked every base cabinet with a moisture meter first. The house was built after 1978, so no lead-safe setup was needed for the painted trim.
What the client said
I wanted to keep my budget under control, so they helped me reface the cabinets instead of replacing them. It looks new and we spent the savings on a better range.
