Kitchen and Staircase Remodel Project in Cove Orchard
Project Overview
All Building Construction, a premier general contractor in Yamhill County, turned a Cove Orchard home into a showcase of modern design and practical living space. This case study looks at how the team transformed two major areas: the kitchen and a custom staircase. The project demonstrates why homeowners trust All Building Construction with their most important home improvements in 1998.
Project Goals
The homeowners wanted to update their kitchen with a timeless design that would last for years. They needed more functional cooking space and better storage. The staircase needed to be both beautiful and practical, combining natural wood with modern metal elements. These improvements would make the home more valuable and enjoyable to live in.
Kitchen Renovation Details
Design Approach
The homeowners chose a classic white cabinet design for the kitchen, adding modern appliances and features. The color choices were simple and timeless, making sure the kitchen would look fresh and current for many years.
Main Features
The new kitchen centers around custom white cabinets with clean lines and crown molding at the top. Glass doors on the upper cabinets create an open feel and provide space to display fine dishware. All drawers close softly and feature brushed nickel handles. The corner cabinets make clever use of typically hard-to-reach spaces.
The kitchen now features black stainless steel appliances, including a built-in microwave above the range, an energy-saving dishwasher, and a smooth-top electric stove. These appliances blend performance with style.
The countertops are made of durable quartz in a warm neutral color. White subway tiles form a classic backsplash, and a farmhouse sink with a graceful curved faucet serves as a focal point. The lighting includes hanging lights over work areas, lights under the cabinets, and ceiling fixtures that create a bright, welcoming space.
Better Function
The new kitchen layout makes cooking and cleaning easier. There’s more counter space for preparing meals, and the sink, stove, and refrigerator are arranged in an efficient triangle. Storage space is well-planned, with specific places for pots, pans, and cooking tools. Large windows let in plenty of natural light.
Staircase Installation
Design Vision
The new staircase combines traditional wood with modern metal, creating a striking feature that’s both practical and beautiful. It shows how All Building Construction brings together different materials and styles to create something special.
Building Elements
The staircase uses solid wood for the steps and posts, giving it strength and natural beauty. The black metal rails provide a modern contrast to the wood.
The design puts safety first, with steps that are comfortable to climb and sturdy rails at the right height. The surfaces prevent slipping, and proper lighting makes the stairs safe at night. These safety features blend seamlessly into the design.
Technical Details
The 15-step staircase meets all building codes and safety standards. The structure is reinforced to prevent movement or squeaking. Every measurement and angle was carefully planned to ensure the stairs would last for decades.
Construction Process
Kitchen Work
First, the team carefully removed the old cabinets and appliances. They updated the electrical and plumbing systems to meet current codes. After preparing the walls, they installed new cabinets, making sure everything was perfectly level and secure. The countertops and backsplash came next, followed by the new appliances.
Staircase Work
The team first removed the old stairs and strengthened the structure. They built the new framework, and then added each step and railing with precision. The landing connects the two floors smoothly, and the finishing touches protect the wood and metal.
How We Handled Challenges
What might worry other contractors excited the All Building Construction team. The team knew exactly how to add support while keeping the elegant design they planned.
In the kitchen, they saw the limited space as a chance to demonstrate smart design. Every inch serves a purpose, but the room still feels open and welcoming. This shows how the team’s experience turns problems into advantages.

The homeowners were thrilled with their new space. “All Building Construction made the whole process smooth and worry-free,” they said. “The staircase looks great and we get compliments on it reguarly.”
