Kitchen remodeling in Charlotte
Cabinets, countertops, islands, backsplashes and full rebuilds.
What a kitchen project can include
A kitchen remodel can be as small as new counters and a backsplash or as big as moving walls and rebuilding the whole room. We help you decide which one your kitchen actually needs, then build it.
- Cabinets
- New cabinets, or new doors and paint on boxes that are still sound.
- Countertops
- Quartz, granite or other stone, templated after the cabinets are set.
- Islands
- A new island, or a bigger one with seating, storage or a sink.
- Backsplash
- Tile from the counter to the upper cabinets, or to the ceiling behind a range.
- Flooring
- Tile or other hard flooring, laid before or after the cabinets depending on the material.
- Full rebuilds
- Layout changes, new lighting and appliance moves.
How it runs
Call and visit
We measure, look at what's behind the walls where we can, and talk about how you use the room.
Choices and estimate
You pick cabinets, counters and tile; we put scope, materials and price in one written estimate.
Demolition and rough work
The old kitchen comes out; any plumbing, wiring or wall changes happen now, with permits where the law requires them.
Install
Cabinets, then countertop templating, then counters, backsplash and fixtures.
Walkthrough
We go through the finished kitchen with you and fix anything on the list.
Permits
North Carolina does not require a building permit for most cosmetic work costing $40,000 or less in a single-family home: new cabinets, counters, tile and fixtures swapped like for like.
A permit is required when the work changes load-bearing structure, adds or changes plumbing design, adds or changes heating, air conditioning or electrical wiring (other than like-kind swaps of devices and light fixtures), or uses materials the building code doesn't allow.

Questions homeowners ask
Can I keep my cabinets and just change the counters?
Often, yes. If the boxes are solid and level, new counters and a backsplash change the room a lot for much less.
Do I have to move out?
Usually not. You'll be without a working kitchen for part of the project, so we plan a temporary setup with you before demolition.
