//INTRODUCTION

The Andrews Apartment Kitchen Remodel

The Andrews Apartment Kitchen Remodel in Gloucester, MA presented a unique challenge: a small-space kitchen that needed to feel open, modern, and beautifully crafted.

WORKS by JD designed, built, and installed fully custom cabinetry to maximize storage, improve flow, and bring coastal sophistication to this Gloucester home.

Key design objectives included:

  •  Maximize storage and space efficiency

  •  Incorporate light-reflective tones for natural illumination
  • Achieve a gallery-level finish for cabinetry surfaces

What Our Clients Say

Everyone I worked with on the team was terrific. Communication was excellent, prompt and timely, giving us nudges as needed to keep the project moving. They accommodated with schedule changes and changes to the project. We were able to keep track of daily progress in the Works by JD Portal while we were away. We would use them again and certainly recommend them. Our kitchen is beautiful, everyone loves the transformation. We are very happy with the end results!
