Complete Kitchen Renovations
A full kitchen renovation gives you the opportunity to reimagine your entire space from the ground up. We handle everything from reconfiguring the layout to maximize workflow and storage, to relocating plumbing and electrical systems, installing new flooring, upgrading lighting, and selecting all new cabinetry, countertops, and appliances. This comprehensive approach is ideal if your current kitchen layout doesn't work for your needs, if you're dealing with outdated systems, or if you want to completely change the style and feel of the space. Our team coordinates all trades—plumbing, electrical, HVAC, carpentry, and finishing—to deliver a seamless renovation that transforms your kitchen into the centerpiece of your home.
Cabinet Refacing & Replacement
Cabinets define your kitchen's style and functionality, and updating them can dramatically transform the entire space. We offer both cabinet refacing—where we replace doors and drawer fronts while keeping existing cabinet boxes—and complete cabinet replacement with custom or semi-custom options. Whether you prefer classic shaker style, modern flat-panel designs, or traditional raised-panel doors, we help you select cabinetry that matches your aesthetic while maximizing storage with features like soft-close hinges, pull-out shelves, lazy Susans, and specialized organizers. Our installation ensures cabinets are level, secure, and built to handle daily use, while our finish options range from painted to stained wood in virtually any color.
Countertop Installation & Upgrades
New countertops can refresh your kitchen's entire appearance while providing a durable, functional work surface for meal preparation. We install a wide range of materials including granite, quartz, marble, quartzite, butcher block, and solid surface options, each with unique benefits for durability, maintenance, and aesthetics. Our process includes precise templating to ensure perfect fit, professional fabrication, and expert installation with properly sealed seams. We help you choose the right material based on your cooking habits, maintenance preferences, and budget, and coordinate countertop installation with sink cutouts, faucet placement, and backsplash design for a cohesive, polished look.
Kitchen Island Installation
Add valuable workspace, storage, and seating to your kitchen with a custom island that becomes the functional and social center of the room. We design islands tailored to your space and needs—whether you want additional prep area with a second sink, casual seating for quick meals, built-in appliances like a wine fridge or microwave, or simply more cabinet storage and drawers. Our installations include proper electrical and plumbing as needed, coordinated countertop materials, and careful attention to traffic flow to ensure your island enhances rather than hinders movement through the kitchen. From compact rolling islands to large multi-level showpieces, we create islands that work as hard as they look good.
Kitchen Lighting Upgrades
Proper lighting transforms how your kitchen looks and functions, combining ambient, task, and accent lighting for a space that's both beautiful and practical. We design and install layered lighting systems including recessed can lights for overall illumination, under-cabinet LED strips for countertop tasks, pendant lights over islands and dining areas, and decorative fixtures that add style. Our electrical work ensures adequate circuits for your lighting needs, and we can incorporate dimmer switches and smart controls for adjustable ambiance. Good kitchen lighting eliminates shadows in work areas, highlights your design features, and creates a welcoming atmosphere for cooking and entertaining.
Backsplash Installation
A beautiful backsplash protects your walls from cooking splashes while adding visual interest and personality to your kitchen. We install tile, stone, glass, and other backsplash materials in patterns ranging from classic subway tile to intricate mosaics, herringbone designs, or dramatic full-height statement walls. Our skilled installers ensure perfectly aligned grout lines, clean cuts around outlets and windows, and proper sealing to prevent water damage. Whether you want a subtle neutral backdrop or a bold focal point behind your range, we help you select materials and patterns that complement your countertops and cabinetry while reflecting your personal style.
Appliance Installation & Integration
Modern appliances enhance your kitchen's functionality while contributing to its overall design. We coordinate the selection and installation of all major appliances including ranges, refrigerators, dishwashers, microwaves, and specialty items like wine coolers or beverage centers. For a seamless, high-end look, we're experienced with integrating panel-ready appliances that blend with your cabinetry, as well as properly venting range hoods and ensuring adequate electrical and gas connections. Our installations meet manufacturer specifications and local codes, and we coordinate delivery timing to align with your remodel schedule so everything is ready when you need it.
Kitchen Flooring Replacement
Durable, easy-to-clean flooring is essential in the kitchen where spills and heavy foot traffic are daily occurrences. We install flooring options specifically suited for kitchen use including luxury vinyl plank, porcelain or ceramic tile, hardwood, and natural stone, each offering different benefits for durability, comfort, maintenance, and style. Our installation includes proper subfloor preparation, moisture barriers where needed, and careful attention to transitions between rooms and around cabinets and appliances. We help you select flooring that complements your overall kitchen design while standing up to the demands of this high-use space, and our professional installation ensures a level, long-lasting result.
