Most Conway homeowners don’t start thinking about a kitchen remodel because everything is fine. They start because the cabinets are swollen from years of Horry County summers, the countertops have seen better days, or they bought a home in Rivertown Landing or Conway Plantation and the builder-grade kitchen just never felt like theirs. Whatever got you here, the outcome you’re after is the same a kitchen that functions well, holds up, and actually looks like someone thought about it.
Here’s what changes when the work is done right. You get cabinets built from all-wood construction not particleboard which matters more in Conway’s humid subtropical climate than most contractors will tell you. South Carolina summers push humidity well above 80% for months at a stretch, and cheap cabinet boxes warp, swell, and delaminate faster than you’d expect. Quality materials paired with proper installation means your kitchen looks the same in year ten as it did on day one.
If your home sits near the Waccamaw River or in a lower-lying part of Conway, water-resistant flooring isn’t a luxury it’s the right call. Luxury vinyl plank handles moisture in ways that hardwood and laminate simply can’t. You stop worrying every time it rains hard, and your kitchen floor stays looking clean and solid regardless of what the weather does.
We’ve been in the home improvement business for over 25 years, and our Myrtle Beach showroom at 2294 Glenns Bay Rd puts us about 12 miles from Conway via US-501 close enough to be a real local option, not just a name on a website. Conway homeowners can walk through our showroom, compare materials in person, and leave with a clear picture of what their kitchen will actually look like.
What makes the difference for most customers is our single-team model. Cabinets, countertops, backsplash, flooring it all runs through one crew with one point of contact. That matters in Conway, where juggling multiple contractors across a single remodel is how projects stall, budgets stretch, and accountability disappears. We’re a BBB A+ accredited company with 322+ verified reviews, we install named brand cabinets from J&K and JSI, and our team already knows Conway’s permitting process and what the local climate does to materials over time.
It starts with a free in-home estimate. We come to your Conway home, look at your actual kitchen the layout, the current materials, the subfloor condition and give you a real number. Not a ballpark. Not a range that triples by the time demo is done. An accurate, project-specific price based on what’s in front of us.
From there, you pick your materials. If you want to see options in person before committing, our Myrtle Beach showroom is a straight shot down US-501. If that’s not convenient, our shop-at-home service brings samples to you. Cabinet finish, countertop material, backsplash tile, flooring you see everything together in your own space before anything gets ordered.
Once the project starts, the same team handles everything through to completion. If there’s a subfloor issue underneath old flooring which comes up regularly in Conway’s older homes and in any home that’s had water intrusion near the Waccamaw River corridor we repair it before new flooring goes down. No surprise charges, no stopping the job until you find someone else to fix it. Horry County permit requirements are handled for any work that needs them, and the project moves forward on a clear timeline. When we leave, the kitchen is done.

Kitchen remodeling in Conway covers a wide range depending on what your home actually needs. For homes in the Downtown Historic District some of which date back to the early 1800s that might mean working around non-standard cabinet dimensions, uneven subfloors, and layouts that were never designed for a modern kitchen. For newer construction off SC-905 or SC-22, it’s usually about upgrading the builder-grade materials that came with the home and making the space feel intentional.
On the cabinet side, we install J&K and JSI lines both all-wood construction, available in contemporary, transitional, and traditional styles. These aren’t anonymous “quality cabinets.” They’re brands you can research independently, with their own warranties and track records. For countertops, backsplash, and flooring, we choose options that hold up in South Carolina’s climate which means materials that don’t buckle under humidity, don’t show wear after a few summers, and don’t fall apart if water ever finds its way in.
Kitchen and bathroom remodeling can also be coordinated together under one project. For Conway homeowners who bought a home with dated finishes throughout, combining both scopes with our single team means less disruption, better design consistency, and a cleaner process overall. If you want to know what a full kitchen renovation would cost for your specific home, the free estimate is the right first step.
Kitchen remodel costs in Conway generally fall between $10,000 and $40,000 depending on the scope of the project. A minor refresh new cabinet fronts, updated countertops, and fresh flooring sits at the lower end. A full gut renovation with new cabinets, countertops, backsplash, flooring, and subfloor repair runs higher, especially in older Conway homes where there’s more to address underneath the surface.
Conway’s median home value sits around $288,000–$295,000, which means most homeowners are investing in a kitchen that makes sense for the home’s overall value not over-improving, but not cutting corners either. The most reliable way to get a real number is through a free in-home estimate, where we look at your actual kitchen and give you a project-specific price rather than a range that shifts once work begins.
It depends on what the project involves. Cosmetic updates replacing cabinet doors, swapping countertops, installing new flooring generally don’t require a permit. But if the remodel includes moving plumbing, updating electrical, relocating HVAC, or making any structural changes, a permit is required under South Carolina’s residential building code.
If your home is within Conway city limits, the City of Conway’s building department handles permitting. If you’re in unincorporated Horry County, permits are administered through the Horry County Building Codes Department at 1301 Second Avenue Ste. 1D09, Conway, SC 29526. Working with a licensed contractor who knows the local process means permits get pulled correctly the first time and you don’t end up with unpermitted work that creates problems when you sell.
Luxury vinyl plank is consistently the best-performing kitchen flooring option for Conway homes. South Carolina’s humid subtropical climate with summer humidity regularly above 80% is hard on materials that absorb moisture. Hardwood can cup and gap. Laminate can swell at the edges. LVP is 100% waterproof, dimensionally stable in high humidity, and handles the temperature swings that come with long South Carolina summers without warping or shifting.
For homes near the Waccamaw River or in lower-lying parts of Conway where water intrusion is a real possibility not just a theoretical one LVP is the practical choice. It performs the same whether the humidity is high or whether water actually gets in, which gives homeowners a level of durability that other flooring materials simply don’t offer in this climate.
Conway’s Downtown Historic District contains homes that date back to the early 18th and 19th centuries, and they come with remodeling challenges that newer construction doesn’t. Cabinet openings are often non-standard. Subfloors have been patched, re-patched, and layered over decades. Plumbing and electrical may not be where a modern kitchen layout would put them. And in some cases, there’s water damage from past flooding events that was never fully addressed.
The right contractor for a historic Conway home is one with enough experience to identify these issues before they become mid-project surprises. That means a thorough assessment upfront, subfloor repair built into the scope when needed, and cabinet options that can be adapted to fit existing openings rather than forcing a standard layout into a non-standard space. The goal is a modern, functional kitchen that respects what the home already is not one that fights against it.
In most cases, yes especially for minor to mid-range updates. The 2024 Cost vs. Value Report puts the average return on a minor kitchen remodel at 96.3%, and most real estate professionals in the Horry County market will tell you that a dated kitchen is one of the first things buyers notice and one of the first things they use to negotiate the price down.
Conway’s market has been growing steadily the Myrtle Beach–Conway–North Myrtle Beach metro ranked third in the country for population growth in 2024 at 3.8% which means buyer competition is real and first impressions matter. A kitchen with updated cabinets, clean countertops, and fresh flooring photographs better, shows better, and justifies a higher asking price. The key is investing in updates that make sense for the home’s value and the neighborhood, not over-spending on a renovation that won’t come back at resale.
A straightforward kitchen remodel cabinets, countertops, backsplash, and flooring in a home without major underlying issues typically runs two to four weeks from the start of installation. The planning and material selection phase adds time upfront, but that’s time well spent. Choosing materials in person at our Myrtle Beach showroom or through our shop-at-home service before ordering means fewer delays once the project starts.
Where timelines extend is when unexpected conditions show up during demo subfloor damage, water intrusion that was hidden under old flooring, or structural issues in older Conway homes. This is more common than most homeowners expect, particularly in established neighborhoods like University Forest, Elmhurst, or the Downtown Historic District. A thorough upfront assessment catches most of these issues before work begins, which is why the free in-home estimate matters. It’s not just about price it’s about knowing what you’re actually working with before the first cabinet comes down.
