We know Kannapolis kitchens
Mill-village character. Modern kitchen.
Near downtown and the old Cannon Mills village, most homes were built between 1920 and 1955. Out toward Rowan County, the subdivisions are twenty years old. Both deserve a kitchen designed for the house.

In mill-era homes we keep the scale and proportion true to the house instead of dropping in a suburban package.

What if you find problems once the cabinets come out?
We stop, show you photos and give you a written price before doing any extra work. Nothing is ever added silently.

A refresh typically takes 1–3 weeks, a full remodel 4–6 weeks, and a premium custom kitchen 6–10 weeks. You get a firm timeline with your quote. More in how long a kitchen remodel takes.
Can you save the original hardwood floors?
Often, yes. In many mill-village homes there’s original hardwood under the vinyl; we check it at the visit and plan the kitchen around it when it’s worth keeping.
