We know Charlotte kitchens
Charlotte isn’t one kitchen market. It’s three.
A 1930s bungalow, a 1970s ranch and a 2010s build need three different plans. We measure and model your real kitchen — not a template.
DilworthPlaza MidwoodNoDaMyers ParkSouth EndBallantyneUniversity CitySteele Creek
1920s–1940s
Historic bungalows
Dilworth, Plaza Midwood and NoDa kitchens are small and closed-off, with original trim and hardwood worth protecting — and plumbing and wiring behind the plaster that usually need updating.
1960s–1980s
Mid-century ranches
East and south Charlotte galleys that need one wall gone. Opening them up is usually the single highest-impact change you can make.
1990s–2010s
Newer builds
Ballantyne and University City homes already have the space. The layout works — the builder finishes are simply dated.

How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Charlotte, NC?
Charlotte kitchens run $18K–$30K for a refresh, $30K–$70K for a full remodel with semi-custom cabinets and quartz or granite, and $70K–$150K+ for a premium custom kitchen with a layout change. Your exact price is fixed in writing after a free visit. See the line-by-line cost guide.
Do you work on historic Charlotte homes?
Yes. Bungalows in Dilworth, Plaza Midwood and NoDa need a different approach: we protect the original trim and hardwood, and plan for the plumbing and wiring behind the plaster before we quote.
Can I open up my galley kitchen?
In most Charlotte ranches, yes — and it’s usually the highest-impact change you can make. You’ll see the open layout in 3D before any wall comes down.
Do you work in Ballantyne and south Charlotte?
Yes. Ballantyne, Steele Creek and south Charlotte homes usually have the space already — most projects there are finish upgrades or a bigger island rather than moving walls.
How long does a Charlotte kitchen remodel take?
A refresh typically takes 1–3 weeks, a full remodel 4–6 weeks, and a premium custom kitchen with a layout change 6–10 weeks. You get a firm timeline with your quote. More in how long a kitchen remodel takes.
Quartz or marble for a historic Charlotte kitchen?
Many bungalow owners want the look of marble; quartz and quartzite can give it with less upkeep. You see each option in 3D, in your real kitchen, before choosing. Compare quartz vs. granite vs. quartzite.
Where exactly do you work?
Across the Charlotte metro: Dilworth, Plaza Midwood, NoDa, Myers Park, South End, Ballantyne, University City and Steele Creek — plus Huntersville, Cornelius, Davidson, Matthews and Mint Hill. No travel fee anywhere in our area. See all service areas.
