New Day Construction Reports Growing Demand for Modern White Kitchens and Larger Remodels in 2026
Oct 12, 2026
Bellevue-based New Day Construction reports growing demand for modern white kitchens, LED lighting, and larger home renovations in 2026. The company is seeing fewer inquiries for projects under $80,000 and more interest in remodels ranging from $150,000 to $300,000.
Bellevue, United States, October 12, 2026 -- The Bellevue remodeling contractor reports fewer inquiries for projects under $80,000, while more prospective clients are planning renovations in the $150,000 to $300,000 range.
New Day Construction, a family-owned design-build remodeling contractor based in Bellevue, reports that modern white kitchens with LED lighting are among the most frequently requested designs in its 2026 projects. The company has also seen a shift toward larger renovation budgets among homeowners in the Seattle Eastside area. White cabinetry paired with white countertops has become a recurring choice in the company's kitchen projects. Homeowners are also incorporating LED lighting into their designs, while higher-end projects may include European-style flat-panel cabinets with integrated pulls.
“A lot of people just go modern. White countertops, white cabinets, and then they add LEDs,” said Sam Brenich, Chief Marketing Officer at New Day Construction.
New Day Construction has also observed a shift in project budgets alongside changing design preferences. The company reports fewer inquiries for renovations costing $80,000 or less compared with previous years. More prospective clients are discussing larger projects in the $150,000 to $300,000 range, including whole-home renovations and remodeling work involving multiple rooms. “The people that used to do projects below $80,000, they're kind of completely gone,” Brenich said. “It's mostly people doing bigger projects now.”
Kitchen and bathroom remodeling remain the company's most requested services, followed by full-home renovations. The larger project budgets do not necessarily reflect higher prices for the same work, but rather the scope of renovations that clients are currently considering.
Cabinet selection is one of the biggest cost variables in kitchen remodeling. Based on the company's September 2026 estimates, a small kitchen remodel starts at approximately $40,000, a medium-sized kitchen costs around $60,000, and larger projects generally start at $80,000. These figures are planning estimates, with final pricing depending on the project scope and material selections. For a kitchen remodel estimated at $60,000, cabinetry alone may account for $20,000 to $25,000. Semi-custom cabinets can cost approximately $20,000, while fully custom cabinetry may reach $50,000 to $60,000. High-end European-style cabinets with flat panels and integrated pulls can cost as much as $80,000 for the cabinetry alone, depending on the design.
The company also reports that homeowners sometimes expand their remodeling plans after updating their kitchens and bathrooms. New finishes can make adjacent rooms look dated by comparison, prompting clients to consider coordinated flooring, cabinetry, and other design changes throughout the home.
New Day Construction recommends evaluating material selections and the overall renovation scope before establishing a final project budget. Homeowners can learn more about the company's remodeling services and request a free estimate at newdayconstruction.co.
