Why homeowners choose us
A Fort Wayne kitchen remodeler who puts the whole price in writing
Golden Remodeling is a local kitchen remodeling company and kitchens are all we do. You should be able to read a quote and understand every dollar of it — that is the standard every kitchen we take on is held to.
The whole price, in writing
Most quotes are one number with allowances hidden underneath, and the price climbs from there. We list demolition, cabinets, counters, tile, appliances, labor and permits each on its own line, so you can see exactly what you are paying for — and once you approve it, that quote is what you pay for that work.
Built for Fort Wayne homes
Homes built here between the 1950s and 1990s often have galvanized supply lines, range hoods vented into the attic and floors that were never level. We plan for what is behind the wall, vent the hood outside properly and seal the kitchen against a hard Indiana winter.
Surprises discussed, not billed
If a wall comes open on water damage or knob-and-tube wiring, work stops, you get a photo, and the repair is priced in writing before anything continues. Nothing gets added without you approving it in writing first.

From our clients
What Fort Wayne homeowners say
Most of our work comes from neighbors passing our name along.
“They put the whole price in writing before we started. The new kitchen is brighter and easier to move around than the old one ever was, and the crew was polite and on time every morning.”
“We got three estimates. Golden Remodeling was the only one that put every single line on paper. That is why we hired them, and they finished when they said they would.”
“The crew covered our floors, cleaned up every day, and treated our house like it was theirs. We cooked in the dining room for a few weeks and it was honestly not bad.”
Common questions
Fort Wayne kitchen remodeling questions
The things homeowners ask us most often, answered plainly.
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Fort Wayne?
Most full kitchen remodels in Fort Wayne land between $28,000 and $75,000, depending on size, whether plumbing or a wall moves, cabinet grade and countertop material. Cabinet refacing with new counters usually runs $9,500 to $20,000. Every item is priced on its own line before you sign anything, so you can see exactly what is driving the number.
Do you pull the permits, or do I have to?
We do. Kitchen work that moves plumbing, electrical or walls needs a permit through the City of Fort Wayne or Allen County Building Department. We handle the application, the inspections and the paperwork, and we include it in your written quote.
How long does a kitchen remodel take?
Plan on five to eight weeks on site for a full kitchen once materials are in hand. Cabinets and countertops are the biggest lead-time variables, so we order everything before demolition day. Refacing and countertop-only projects take one to two weeks.
Can we still cook while you are working?
Most of our clients set up a temporary kitchen in the dining room or garage — microwave, coffee maker, fridge. The work area is sealed with plastic and swept daily, and you get a schedule before work starts so you know which days the water or power will be off.
What happens if you find a problem behind the wall?
We stop, show you what we found, and price the repair in writing before we continue. Old galvanized plumbing, a hood vented into the attic and out-of-level floors are all common in older Fort Wayne homes. Your original quote stays exactly as written — the repair is a separate item you approve first. We would rather show you a photo than hand you a surprise invoice at the end.
Are you licensed and insured?
Indiana does not issue a statewide general contractor license. Golden Remodeling is registered where required, carries general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage, and pulls every permit under the company name. We are happy to send a copy of the certificate of insurance before work begins — just ask.
Should we reface our cabinets or replace them?
If the boxes are solid, square and the layout works for you, refacing saves weeks and a lot of money. If the boxes are water damaged, the layout is wrong or you want to change the footprint, new cabinets make more sense. We look at your cabinets in person and tell you honestly which one applies.
How far do you travel from Fort Wayne?
