Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Charlotte
We offer a full suite of services to transform your kitchen space. Some of our most in-demand remodel options include:
Kitchen Design & Layout Optimization
We work with you to reimagine your kitchen’s footprint—repositioning islands, expanding into adjacent rooms, optimizing flow, and enhancing natural light.
Custom Cabinetry & Millwork
From frameless modern styles to classic raised-panel designs, we facilitate custom and semi-custom cabinetry, hardware, soft-close systems, and fine finishes.
Countertops, Backsplash & Surface Materials
Choose from quartz, granite, marble, solid-surface, or composite materials. We guide you in matching durability, aesthetics, and maintenance requirements.
Flooring, Lighting & Fixtures
Whether it’s hardwoods, tile, luxury vinyl tile, or stone, we craft a flooring scheme that balances beauty and durability. We integrate effective task, accent, and ambient lighting to bring your kitchen to life.
Structural & Layout Changes
If your project involves removing walls, adding windows, or reconfiguring load-bearing elements, our structural engineering and permitting experience ensures safety and compliance.
Integrated Appliances & Smart Kitchen Tech
From built-in ovens and induction cooktops to smart refrigerators and undercabinet charging systems, we integrate appliances seamlessly into your kitchen’s design.
Plumbing & Electrical Upgrades
We ensure your plumbing and wiring remain up to code and capable of supporting modern loads—from pot filler faucets to multi-outlet islands and undercabinet power.
Final Finishes, Trim & Detailing
The finishing touches—trim, crown molding, paint, hardware, caulking, and transitions—are essential to the polished look. We sweat the small things so your kitchen feels luxurious down to every detail.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Process (Charlotte Projects)
Consultation & Site Assessment: We begin with a no-obligation home visit in Charlotte or neighboring communities, measure the space, assess structural or mechanical constraints, and discuss your goals, style preferences, and budget.
Concept & Design Proposal: Our design team generates one or more layout options, including 3D renderings, finishes suggestions, and material selections. You get a clear vision before committing.
Budgeting & Contract Agreement: We provide an itemized proposal with transparent costing. Once you approve, we finalize scope and schedule, securing permits and ordering long-lead items.
Demolition & Rough-In Stage: Existing cabinetry, flooring, or walls are removed carefully. We install mechanicals (plumbing, HVAC, electrical) and make any structural modifications, while protecting adjacent rooms.
Construction & Installation Phase: Cabinets, countertops, appliances, flooring, lighting, plumbing, and tile work are installed sequentially. Our project management ensures coordination and mitigates delays.
Finishing & Walkthrough: Trim, hardware, caulk, paint touch-ups, and final clean-up complete the job. We perform a detailed walkthrough with you to confirm satisfaction and ensure every detail aligns with expectations.
Post-Completion Support: We stand by our work with warranty support and post-project followups to address any adjustments or questions.

Absolutely. We offer both partial and full-scale remodels, whether you want a new island, fresh cabinetry, or just updated finishes.
