About us
A Granite Falls team that starts with the drawings.
Granite Falls, WA, is home to some of the most charming older homes in the region, think thick brick walls, original masonry fireplaces, and the kind of craftsmanship that turns a kitchen into a family’s heart. At Mendoza Kitchen Remodeling Corp, we specialize in breathing new life into these spaces without losing what makes them special. Whether it’s restoring a 1920s brick-lined kitchen or updating a 1970s galley to modern standards, we handle the quirks of older homes like we’ve lived in them. Our team knows that a kitchen remodel in Granite Falls isn’t just about cabinets and countertops; it’s about respecting the history of the house while making it work for today’s needs. We’ve seen how a well-planned kitchen renovation can double a home’s value, especially in a town where character matters as much as function.
What sets us apart isn’t just our eye for detail, it’s our hands-on experience with the specific challenges of older homes in this area. Granite Falls’ climate, with its wet winters and dry summers, can take a toll on wood, masonry, and even the structural integrity of a kitchen’s layout. We’ve fixed everything from sagging brick fireplaces to water-damaged subfloors, and we know how to future-proof your remodel so it lasts. Our process starts with a no-pressure consultation where we walk through your space, point out potential pitfalls (like hidden plumbing or load-bearing walls), and give you a clear plan with no surprises. No generic blueprints here, just practical solutions tailored to your home’s bones.

Why choose us
Four things on our checklist for every job.
This is how Mendoza Kitchen Remodeling Corp runs every project, from the first site visit to the final walk-through.
Talk to us about your projectWe Understand Granite Falls Homes
Not all kitchen remodelers know how to work with older brick fireplaces, masonry liners, or the quirks of pre-1980 construction. We do. Our team has spent years fixing and updating homes in Granite Falls and nearby towns like North Bend, where older homes with character are the norm. We know which materials hold up in our climate, how to reinforce original brickwork, and when to modernize without losing what makes your home special.
No Surprises: Just Honest Plans
You’ll get a detailed estimate upfront, with no hidden fees for fixing problems we uncover during your kitchen remodel. If your masonry liner needs relining or your original plumbing can’t handle modern appliances, we’ll tell you before we start. Our goal is to give you a kitchen that works for your life, not one that leaves you with regrets. And if you’re also tackling a bathroom remodel, we’ll coordinate both projects so you’re not dealing with two different crews.
Permits, Insurance, and Guarantees: Covered for Your Masonry Kitchen
We’re fully licensed to work in Washington, insured for your protection, and we stand by our work with warranties on labor and materials. That means if your new cabinetry starts to warp from Granite Falls’ humidity or your masonry repair fails, we’ll fix it, no excuses. We also offer free estimates, so you can see exactly what your kitchen remodel will cost before we break ground. And if you’re unsure about a repair, we’ll explain your options in plain terms.
Fast Response for Local Homeowners
We know how frustrating it is to wait for a contractor, especially when you’ve got a leak or damaged masonry that’s getting worse. That’s why we offer same-day estimates for emergencies and prioritize Granite Falls homeowners. Whether you need a quick fix or a full kitchen remodel, we’ll treat your project like it’s our own home, because it is. And if you’re also considering a bathroom renovation, we’ll schedule both projects efficiently so you’re not dealing with multiple crews.
How it works
From site visit to sign-off
Schedule Your Free In-Home Estimate
Call or book online, and we’ll come to your Granite Falls home to inspect your kitchen and discuss your goals. No pressure, no sales pitch, just a honest assessment of what’s possible. We’ll measure your space, check your existing masonry and plumbing, and give you a clear estimate with no surprises. If you’re also thinking about a bathroom remodel, we’ll note that for later. We’ll walk you through this first visit at no cost, with no pressure to book anything.
Design & Material Selection
We’ll create a custom plan tailored to your home’s layout, your budget, and your lifestyle, whether that means relining a brick fireplace, upgrading your appliances, or fixing moisture issues in your cabinetry. You’ll choose materials that fit your style and our climate, like moisture-resistant cabinetry or high-efficiency appliances that handle Granite Falls’ humidity. We’ll also coordinate with your bathroom remodel if you’re doing both, so everything flows together.
Licensed Installation with Local Crews
Our team handles everything, demolition, plumbing, electrical, masonry, and finishing, so you’re not dealing with multiple contractors. We’ll protect your home during the process, especially if we’re working around original brickwork or historic features. Every step follows code, and we’ll clean up thoroughly. If you’re also remodeling your bathroom, we’ll schedule both projects to minimize disruption to your home.
Final Walkthrough & Warranty Coverage
Before we leave, we’ll walk you through your new kitchen, explain how to care for it, and answer any questions. We’ll also provide documentation for your warranty, so you’re covered if any issues arise with your cabinetry, masonry, or appliances. If you’re happy with the results, we’ll send you a thank-you note, and if not, we’ll make it right. And if you’ve also done a bathroom remodel, we’ll do the same walkthrough for that project.

FAQ
Questions homeowners ask us first
I’ve got a 1950s brick kitchen in Granite Falls, how do you handle the original masonry when remodeling?
We preserve the brickwork whenever possible. If the mortar’s crumbling or the bricks are damaged, we’ll match the original style with new materials so the character stays intact. For fireplaces or exposed brick accents, we’ll clean and seal them to highlight their charm while ensuring they’re structurally sound. Older brick can also hide moisture issues, so we inspect for water damage behind the walls before starting any work.
My kitchen’s layout feels cramped for modern living, can you expand it without tearing down walls?
Many older homes in Granite Falls have load-bearing walls that can’t be removed, but we often find ways to open up space by relocating plumbing or creating clever storage solutions. For example, we might turn a narrow pantry into a walk-in by extending the countertop or adding a butler’s pantry off the dining area. We’ll always check for structural limitations first, no surprises, just smart adjustments.
How do you handle water damage in older kitchens, especially with the wet winters here?
Granite Falls’ climate means water intrusion is a real concern, especially in homes with original plumbing or poor sealing around windows. We start by identifying the source, leaky pipes, cracked tile grout, or even a sagging subfloor, and fix it before remodeling. For example, we’ve replaced subfloors under vinyl in basements or added vapor barriers in crawl spaces. Prevention is key, so we also upgrade ventilation and use moisture-resistant materials where needed.
I love the original hardwood floors in my kitchen, will you refinish them or replace them during a remodel?
We almost always refinish original hardwood if it’s structurally sound. Older floors in Granite Falls homes often have beautiful character, wide planks, deep stains, or even inlaid patterns, that refinishing can restore. If the subfloor is damaged, we’ll replace just the affected sections and blend the new wood with the existing finish. We’ll also seal the edges properly to prevent future moisture issues, which is critical in this area’s climate.
