Kitchen remodeling · American Fork, UT
American Fork kitchens come in two ages: a big batch from the 1970s and a newer wave from the 2010s. Opening up an older kitchen often means taking out a wall, and the city wants an engineer's stamp on that. We get the engineering done before demo day.
Kitchens in American Fork
If your kitchen is closed off, taking out that wall is often the biggest choice in the whole remodel. Census numbers show about 4,000 American Fork homes were built before 1980. That is roughly 1 in 3.
American Fork's remodel checklist asks for the size and type of any beam added or removed, wet stamped by a Utah licensed structural engineer. Moving or removing a wall, door or window takes a licensed engineer's stamp as well. That engineering is its own line on the price, and it should be there from the start.
The plans also show the project value, the general contractor's license number, and every sub on a filled-out list. The city turns away incomplete plans, so that packet gets built before anyone asks for a permit date.
"Best experience I've ever had with a contractor. This included a kitchen remodel, 2 bathrooms remodeled, flooring throughout the house, and paint. The quality was very high, and the communication with Dakota was excellent."
Jason Gamett · Kitchen remodelWhat's included
New cabinets built to fit your space, with the storage and look you want.
Hard stone counters that last. We help you pick quartz or granite to match your style.
Add an island for more counter space, more seating, and a place everyone gathers.
Take out a wall to open the kitchen up to the living room and let in more light.
Bright overhead lights and under-cabinet lights so you can see what you cook.
A clean, easy-to-wipe backsplash that pulls the whole kitchen together.
Tough, good-looking floors built to take spills, traffic, and busy mornings.
We set and hook up your sink, stove, hood, dishwasher, and fridge the right way.

American Fork kitchen permits
A kitchen touches plumbing, gas, wiring and sometimes the structure. Here is what the American Fork building department asks for along the way.
The city's 2026 checklist says a remodel needs no Zoning Clearance Letter. Push the kitchen out into a new addition, though, and that letter comes first.
A new range, double ovens or an induction cooktop can mean a bigger electrical service. American Fork treats a meter upgrade as its own permit, with the panel rating, make and model, and a site plan showing where the meter goes.
Inspectors come Monday through Friday, mornings 7:30 to 11:30 or afternoons 1:00 to 4:30, and never from noon to 1. If the rough-in is not ready, the city can charge $175 to come back. So the call goes in only when the work is done and still open.
Since July 1, 2025, American Fork's plan review fee on residential work is 65% of the permit fee. It is paid on top of the permit, so both belong in your budget.
"We had a wonderful experience working with Dakota and his subs. He will actually do what he says he will do and does a great job. I would highly recommend him!"
Brent MolenHow it works
Dakota comes to your American Fork kitchen, talks through the layout, and gives you one honest price in writing.
We lock the layout, help you pick cabinets and counters, and pull any permit with American Fork City.
Demo through finish work, on schedule, site kept clean, and you updated the whole way.
We hook up your appliances, walk the kitchen with you, and stand behind the work.
