Planning a kitchen remodel in Cedar Hills, Oregon? Cedar Hills was built out from 1946 through the early 1970s as one of the most ambitious suburban developments in the Pacific Northwest. Those mid-century ranch homes remain beautifully livable today, with one exception: the original closed-off galley kitchens were designed for a different era of cooking and entertaining.
Opening a galley into an open-concept layout, adding a large island, and bringing in custom cabinetry and quartz countertops transforms the most-used room in the house. It changes how you cook, how you host, and how the home feels from the moment you walk in the door.
Because Cedar Hills is unincorporated Washington County, kitchen permits route through Washington County Building Services rather than the City of Portland. Woodland Construction Group handles every permit application, county inspection, and coordination with Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue, keeping your project on schedule from day one.
A kitchen remodel in Cedar Hills typically runs $150 to $500 per square foot, with total project investments landing between $45,000 and $150,000+ depending on layout changes, cabinetry, appliances, and countertop selections.
According to the 2024 Cost vs. Value Report, Pacific Division homeowners recoup approximately 38 to 77 percent of a kitchen remodel at resale, with mid-range projects delivering the strongest percentage return. A kitchen remodel also delivers the single highest daily-livability impact of any home upgrade – a primary reason Cedar Hills homeowners choose to remodel rather than move.

A well-built kitchen turns a closed-off utility room into the social center of the home. In Cedar Hills, where 1950s and 1960s ranch homes were designed with compartmentalized floor plans, removing a wall to connect the kitchen to the living area is often the single highest-impact change a homeowner can make. The kitchen becomes part of every gathering rather than separate from it.
The 2026 kitchen leans on honest materials and purposeful storage: quartz and quartzite countertops that stand up to daily use, two-tone cabinetry that grounds the room visually, large islands with deep drawers and seating, and integrated pantry systems that keep counters clear. Walk next door to Cedar Hills Crossing for inspiration at New Seasons or Powell’s, then bring that same thoughtfulness home.
Pair the daily improvement with the resale data above and a kitchen remodel delivers both an immediate lifestyle upgrade and a measurable return when Cedar Hills homes trade in the competitive Washington County market. See how a kitchen fits into a larger project on our whole-home renovation page.
Woodland Construction Group – 18 Years Experience – Cedar Hills and Washington County, Oregon
Our team of licensed contractors specializes in kitchen renovations across Cedar Hills and the west-side Washington County suburbs, combining expert craftsmanship with design that fits the scale and character of mid-century ranch and newer custom-build homes.
The kitchen is the highest-impact room in any home remodel. In Cedar Hills ranch homes with original galley layouts, an open-concept kitchen conversion typically increases usable social space by 30 to 50 percent without adding a single square foot to the structure.
Six features appear in nearly every kitchen remodel we build in Cedar Hills. Each one is designed for how the room actually gets used by real families, not just how it photographs in a listing.
Semi-custom and full-custom cabinet lines built to your kitchen’s exact dimensions and storage priorities, with soft-close hardware, pull-out shelves, and finishes that last decades.
Quartz, quartzite, and natural stone surfaces selected for durability, aesthetics, and how they pair with your cabinetry – templated, fabricated, and installed by our own crew.
Waterfall-edge and panel islands with seating, deep drawers, and integrated outlets, sized properly for the room and anchored to satisfy Washington County structural requirements.
Built-in refrigerators, gas and induction ranges, integrated dishwashers, and speed ovens from top-tier brands, installed with the proper venting, clearances, and utility rough-ins.
Layered pendant, under-cabinet, and recessed lighting with scene control, paired with open-concept layouts that connect the kitchen to dining and living areas in Cedar Hills ranch homes.
Walk-in pantries, butler pantries, and tall pull-out pantry cabinets with custom organizational systems that keep countertops clear and every item accessible where you need it.
How We Work
One team, one contract, from the first measurement to the final walkthrough, with no handoffs between designer, builder, and trades: design and 3D layouts, material selection, permitting and inspections, careful demolition, licensed construction, and a final walkthrough, all backed by our 1-year craftsmanship warranty.

They took my outdated kitchen and transformed it into a beautiful, functional space. I love the new cabinets, countertops, and backsplash, and the pendant lights over the island get so many compliments. They listened the entire way and stayed within my budget.
We hired Woodland for our kitchen renovation and the result is nothing short of spectacular. Professional, punctual, and highly skilled, they took our outdated kitchen and turned it into the heart of our home.
We wanted a floor-to-ceiling pantry that looked original to the kitchen, and the match to our existing cabinetry is absolutely perfect. The custom pull-out drawers and hidden coffee bar are incredible. You truly cannot tell it was added after the home was built.

A typical Cedar Hills kitchen remodel takes 6 to 12 weeks from demolition to final walkthrough. A full open-concept conversion with custom cabinetry, new appliances, and a large island runs 10 to 14 weeks. Cosmetic refreshes with cabinet refacing and new countertops can finish in 3 to 5 weeks. We set a detailed timeline during design and hold to it through construction.
In Cedar Hills and the Washington County west-side suburbs, kitchen remodels range from $45,000 to $150,000+ depending on scope, layout changes, appliance selections, and cabinetry. Mid-range projects with semi-custom cabinets and quartz countertops average $55,000 to $90,000. Full open-concept conversions with custom cabinetry and professional appliances are typically $90,000 to $150,000+. You get an itemized estimate during your consultation.
Yes. Cedar Hills is unincorporated Washington County, so kitchen permits are issued through Washington County Building Services – not the City of Portland. Projects that move plumbing, electrical, or structural walls require permits and county inspections. Woodland Construction Group handles every Washington County permit application, inspection coordination, and sign-off, keeping your project on schedule.
Cedar Hills homeowners in 2026 are prioritizing open-concept layouts that remove galley walls, large waterfall-edge islands with seating, quartz and quartzite countertops, two-tone cabinetry (white uppers, stained wood lowers), integrated appliance panels, smart lighting with scene control, and walk-in pantries with built-in storage systems. Ranch-home kitchen expansions opening to living areas are especially popular in Cedar Hills mid-century homes.
During a full kitchen renovation, the kitchen is out of service for most of the project – typically 6 to 12 weeks. We set up temporary kitchen stations and sequence demolition and installation to limit disruption. A design-build contractor is better for most homeowners because design, engineering, permitting, and construction stay under one contract and one team. That eliminates the handoffs between separate designers and contractors where budget overruns and miscommunication most often occur.
Yes. The 2024 Cost vs. Value Report shows Pacific Division homeowners recoup approximately 38 to 77 percent of a kitchen remodel at resale, with mid-range projects delivering the strongest percentage returns. A kitchen remodel is also the single highest-impact upgrade for daily livability – Cedar Hills ranch homes with original closed-off galley kitchens open up dramatically when walls come down and the layout connects to the living area. Many homeowners remodel rather than relocate and give up their neighborhood, Beaverton School District access, and proximity to Cedar Hills Crossing.
Family-owned and based in Northwest Portland, we remodel kitchens across Cedar Hills, Beaverton, Raleigh Hills, and the broader Washington County and Portland metro.
