Full Custom Kitchen Remodel in Centennial Hills, Las Vegas

This Centennial Hills kitchen remodel was a full custom kitchen renovation, not a cosmetic cabinet-and-countertop update. The original kitchen was completely removed, the layout was aggressively reworked, the sink and drain were relocated, both islands were built new, and the finished design was rebuilt around how the homeowners cook, prep, entertain, and store everyday kitchen items.

The page supports the main kitchen remodeling in Las Vegas hub by showing one completed project in detail. It is a project case study, not a new service page and not a replacement for the kitchen cost or permit guides.

The Challenge: A Massive Original Kitchen With Poor Flow

The biggest issue was not the size of the kitchen. It was how poorly the original kitchen used that size. The homeowners had a massive kitchen area, but the original builder layout had a small island, limited prep space, outdated cabinets, poor flow, wasted square footage, and not enough storage for the way they cook and entertain.

For a household that loves food and hosts guests, the kitchen needed to perform differently. The clients wanted more usable surface area, better traffic flow, a larger pantry, more storage, stronger task lighting, and separate work zones that could support cooking and entertaining at the same time.

The Plan: Two New Islands, Custom Cabinets, And Better Work Zones

The design solution was to rebuild the kitchen around two brand-new islands. Nothing was retrofitted from the old kitchen. The two-island layout created more usable prep space, improved storage, and gave the homeowners multiple work zones for cooking, serving, cleanup, and entertaining.

Technical Scope: Plumbing, Electrical, Slab Scanning, And Permits

This remodel involved hidden-system work, so it was planned and executed as a permitted custom kitchen remodel. The sink and drain were relocated, which required breaking into the concrete slab. Because the home had a post-tension slab, Big Horn Remodeling scanned the slab before concrete work to help identify post-tension cable locations and reduce risk before relocating plumbing.

For homeowners planning a similar scope, the permit triggers are explained further in the kitchen remodel permits in Las Vegas guide.

Materials And Finish Selections

The finish package balanced warmth and brightness. Stained white oak cabinet areas gave the islands a furniture-style feel, while white HDF shaker cabinetry kept the back wall timeless. Calacatta White Quartz was used for countertops and slab backsplash areas, and LVP flooring with moisture barrier underlayment helped support the first-floor concrete installation.

Cost Analysis: Approximate $50,000 Custom Kitchen Remodel

This completed Centennial Hills custom kitchen remodel was approximately $50,000. This is a real project example, not a fixed price menu. A similar kitchen could cost more or less depending on cabinet complexity, slab requirements, appliance changes, plumbing, electrical, permitting, and existing site conditions.

For broader pricing education, use the Las Vegas kitchen remodel cost guide rather than treating this case study as a universal estimate.

Timeline: 4-Week Active Construction Schedule

The active construction timeline was approximately 4 weeks after planning, selections, material coordination, and permit readiness. Custom cabinets and slab selections should be planned before active construction begins, so this timeline describes the active field period rather than the full design, fabrication, procurement, and permit process.

Finished Result: More Storage, Better Entertaining, And A True Custom Kitchen

The finished kitchen now matches the size of the home and the way the homeowners use the space. The two new islands created more prep space and better hosting flow. The enlarged pantry with rollout trays improved storage. The stained white oak cabinetry added warmth, while the white shaker back wall helped keep the kitchen bright and timeless.

The clients especially liked the additional storage and the new island layout because they now have room to cook, entertain, and gather without the old kitchen's wasted space and poor flow. The final result feels built for the homeowners instead of a builder-grade layout with upgraded finishes.
