Kitchens in Cottonwood Heights

Kitchens from the 1960s and 1970s.

Half the homes in Cottonwood Heights were built between 1960 and 1980. That makes most kitchens 45 to 65 years old, unless someone has already redone them.

A kitchen that age usually needs more than new doors. Alpha Homes rebuilds the layout, the cabinets, the counters, the lighting and the electrical behind it.

How we do it here

Our Cottonwood Heights kitchen plan.

  • Plan the new layout around how you cook and gather now, not how kitchens were drawn in 1970.
  • Budget to update the electrical behind the walls. New appliances often need more circuits than an old kitchen has.
  • File plans online through iWorQ with the residential remodel checklist.
  • Book inspections a day ahead, before 3 p.m., so the crew keeps moving.

We remodel kitchens in Butlerville, near Golden Hills Park, around the Old Mill on Big Cottonwood Creek and in the Top of the World neighborhood toward Little Cottonwood Canyon. The city incorporated in 2005, decades after most of these kitchens were built.

Kitchen questions from Cottonwood Heights.

Do I need a permit to remodel my kitchen in Cottonwood Heights?
Almost certainly. Only things like floor coverings, paint and wall coverings are exempt. We file it online with full plans.
How old are most kitchens in Cottonwood Heights?
Half the homes were built from 1960 to 1980, so many kitchens are 45 years old or more unless they have been redone.
