Kitchen Renovations & Custom Cabinetry
Transform your kitchen into the heart of your home with expert renovations and custom-built cabinetry designed for Arizona living.
Making Life Better In Greater Phoenix & East Valley
Your kitchen is more than just a place to cook. It’s where family gathers, memories are made, and the rhythm of daily life unfolds. At Runyon Construction Group, we specialize in full-scale kitchen renovations and custom cabinetry for homeowners throughout Greater Phoenix, the East Valley, and across Maricopa and Pinal counties. With over 20 years of construction experience in Arizona, we understand the unique needs of desert living and design kitchens that are as functional as they are beautiful.
Whether you’re looking to open up a cramped layout, install granite or quartz countertops, upgrade to energy-efficient appliances, or design fully custom cabinetry that maximizes every inch of storage, our team handles every detail from concept to completion. We begin each project with an in-home consultation where we listen to your goals, assess the existing space, and present design options that fit your lifestyle and budget.
Our custom cabinetry is built to order, allowing you to choose from a wide range of wood species, finishes, hardware, and configurations. From modern shaker-style cabinets to traditional raised-panel designs, we craft solutions that reflect your personal style. Soft-close hinges, pull-out shelves, lazy Susans, and built-in organizers are just a few of the features we can incorporate to make your kitchen work smarter.
We also handle all structural modifications, plumbing and electrical upgrades, backsplash tile installation, lighting design, and flooring to ensure a seamless renovation from start to finish. Our crews are licensed, insured, and committed to keeping your home clean and your project on schedule.
Arizona’s housing market continues to grow, and a well-designed kitchen is one of the highest-return investments you can make. According to industry data, a mid-range kitchen remodel in the Phoenix metro area can recoup 60-80% of its cost at resale. Beyond financial value, a renovated kitchen improves your quality of life every single day.
We’ve completed hundreds of kitchen renovations across Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, Tempe, Scottsdale, Queen Creek, San Tan Valley, and surrounding communities. Our portfolio includes everything from modest galley kitchen updates to expansive gourmet kitchen builds with oversized islands, walk-in pantries, and professional-grade appliances.
At Runyon Construction Group, we believe great kitchens start with great communication. That’s why we assign a dedicated project manager to every renovation, ensuring you always have a single point of contact who keeps you informed and your project moving forward. From pulling permits to the final walkthrough, we make the process as stress-free as possible.

Our Work
Remodeling Services Include:
Complete Kitchen Layout Redesign
We evaluate your existing kitchen and redesign the entire layout to improve flow, maximize counter space, and create a more functional cooking and gathering area. Whether you want to open up a closed-off galley kitchen or reconfigure the work triangle for better efficiency, our team handles structural changes, plumbing relocation, and electrical updates to bring your new layout to life.
Custom Cabinetry & Built-Ins
Our custom cabinets are built to your exact specifications using premium materials and construction techniques like dovetail joinery and soft-close hardware. Choose from dozens of wood species, finishes, door styles, and interior accessories including pull-out shelves, lazy Susans, and built-in organizers. Every cabinet fits perfectly with no fillers or wasted space.
Granite, Quartz & Marble Countertops
We install premium countertop surfaces including natural granite with its one-of-a-kind patterns, low-maintenance engineered quartz, and elegant marble. Our fabrication process uses precise digital templating and CNC cutting for a flawless fit, and we offer a full range of edge profiles from simple eased edges to dramatic waterfall designs.
Backsplash Tile Installation
A well-chosen backsplash adds personality and visual interest while protecting your walls from splashes and grease. We install everything from classic subway tile in creative layouts to intricate glass mosaics, natural stone, and large-format porcelain slabs. Our tile setters deliver precise, symmetrical installations with clean corners and consistent grout lines.
Appliance Installation & Upgrades
We handle the installation of all kitchen appliances including ranges, ovens, dishwashers, refrigerators, range hoods, and microwaves. Whether you are upgrading to energy-efficient models or installing professional-grade equipment, our team manages all electrical and plumbing connections, cabinetry modifications, and ventilation requirements.
Kitchen Island Design & Build
A kitchen island serves as the centerpiece for cooking, dining, and socializing. We design and build custom islands with features like integrated sinks, cooktops, seating overhangs, wine storage, and waterfall countertop edges. Our islands are engineered to fit your kitchen's dimensions while maintaining proper clearance and traffic flow.
Under-Cabinet & Recessed Lighting
Proper lighting makes your kitchen more functional and inviting. We install energy-efficient LED under-cabinet task lighting, dimmable recessed ceiling fixtures, pendant lights over islands, and accent lighting for display areas. Our layered lighting approach ensures you have the right illumination for cooking, dining, and everyday use.
Plumbing & Electrical Upgrades
Kitchen renovations often require updated plumbing and electrical systems to support modern fixtures and appliances. We relocate water lines, install new drain connections, add dedicated electrical circuits for high-draw appliances, upgrade outlets to GFCI protection, and ensure all work meets current building codes.
