Kitchen Design
Kitchen design is the planning stage that determines how the rest of the project will go. It covers layout planning, cabinet placement, countertop placement, appliance placement, and whether a kitchen island fits the available space.
Custom Cabinet Installation
Custom cabinets are built to the exact dimensions of a kitchen rather than pieced together from standard sizes. This matters in kitchens with irregular wall lengths, corners, or ceiling heights, which are common in many Murray homes with older construction.
Backsplash Installation
Backsplash options include ceramic tile, porcelain tile, glass tile, natural stone, and mosaic designs, each with different maintenance needs and price points. Ceramic and porcelain are generally the most budget-friendly and easiest to clean, while natural stone offers a more textured, higher-end look that typically requires sealing.
Kitchen Island Installation
A kitchen island adds counter space, storage, and often seating, but it only works if the kitchen has enough clearance around it. Island dimensions and layout need to account for walkways on all sides so the kitchen doesn’t feel cramped during cooking or entertaining.
Kitchen Flooring Installation
Flooring options include porcelain tile, ceramic tile, luxury vinyl, natural stone, and hardwood where the layout and moisture exposure make it appropriate. Each material differs in durability, moisture resistance, slip resistance, and day-to-day maintenance.
Countertops Installation
Countertop materials include quartz, granite, marble, porcelain, and other options, each with different durability, stain resistance, and heat tolerance. Quartz is engineered for consistent durability and low maintenance, while granite offers natural variation and strong heat resistance. Marble has a distinct look but is more prone to staining and etching, and porcelain countertops are increasingly used for their heat and scratch resistance.

Kitchen Remodeling in Murray — What Homeowners Should Know
Murray sits near the center of the Salt Lake Valley in Salt Lake County, bordered by Millcreek, South Salt Lake, Taylorsville, and Holladay. It’s a well-established, largely built-out community with a mix of older, long-standing neighborhoods and newer infill development.
Utah’s Salt Lake Valley climate includes cold, snowy winters and hot, dry summers, which is a practical factor in scheduling remodeling work, particularly anything involving venting, windows, or exterior-adjacent access. Murray’s terrain is relatively flat valley floor, which generally makes home access for remodeling work straightforward.
Because Murray includes a meaningful share of established housing alongside newer construction, kitchens across the city vary widely — some retain original cabinets, counters, and layouts, while others have already been updated at some point. That range means no two Murray kitchen projects look exactly alike.

Local Home and Kitchen Considerations
Kitchen layouts in Murray vary based on when a home was built and whether it has been previously updated. Cabinet conditions, countertop wear, and flooring age all differ from home to home, which is why a remodel should start with an honest look at the existing space rather than assumptions based on the neighborhood.
Storage, lighting, electrical capacity, and plumbing all need to be evaluated individually, especially in older homes where systems may not have been updated in some time. Ventilation and kitchen size are additional factors that shape what’s realistic for a given project.
Why Homeowners in Murray Remodel Kitchens
Outdated kitchens, limited storage, and poor layouts are recurring reasons homeowners in Murray start a remodel. Worn countertops and old cabinets are often the most visible signs that a kitchen needs attention, while flooring replacement and backsplash upgrades round out a more complete update.
Kitchen islands are a common addition where space allows, adding storage and prep space along with a more functional layout. Ultimately, most Murray remodels come down to better functionality and a more modern, comfortable design — not a guaranteed change in home value, which depends on many factors outside of the kitchen itself.

Kitchen Remodel Costs in Murray

Updating an Older Kitchen in Murray
Murray is its own city, so kitchen remodel permits come from the City of Murray’s building department. Many Murray homes date from the mid-twentieth century, and an older kitchen remodel is often about what’s behind the walls as much as the new cabinets.
- Wiring. Older kitchens often have too few circuits for modern appliances and may lack the GFCI-protected countertop outlets current code expects. New circuits and outlet changes are permitted electrical work.
- Plumbing. Older galvanized supply lines and drains are often replaced once the cabinets come out, which is far easier than doing it later.
- Layout. Moving the sink or opening a wall to the dining room means plumbing and structural permits; keeping the existing footprint keeps the project simpler.
