Project story
A working family off Church Road had lived with the original 1980s kitchen for eighteen years. Oak cabinets, laminate counters, vinyl floor, and a wall separating the kitchen from the dining room that made it impossible to be in the kitchen while kids did homework at the table.
The scope: remove the dividing wall (structural — a new engineered LVL beam was designed and installed), replace all cabinetry with painted shaker in a soft white, install quartz counters, upgrade to induction cooktop and wall oven, add a large peninsula with seating for four, and re-floor the whole kitchen and dining area in luxury vinyl plank.
Cabinet lead time was nine weeks. During that time we handled demo, wall removal and beam install, updated electrical and plumbing rough-in, and prepped floors. Once cabinets arrived the install and finish work took just under six weeks. The family had a temporary kitchen set up in the adjacent laundry room and cooked through it without moving out.
