//SPECS

Materials & Finishes

  • Cabinetry: Custom inset Shaker-style cabinets with soft-close hardware, precision-built for seamless integration with wall and appliance layouts.
  • Countertops: LG Viatera Lumina quartz — a luminous, marble-inspired surface offering durability and elegance.
  • Flooring: Natural oak hardwood floors, installed in wide planks with a satin finish for coastal warmth and modern texture.
  • Paint: Full interior repaint using Benjamin Moore’s designer-grade line, including moisture-resistant formulas ideal for coastal conditions.
  • Lighting: Under-cabinet LED illumination and upgraded ceiling fixtures enhance light balance and depth.
//SUMMARY

The Transformation

Before the remodel, the kitchen was compartmentalized and lacked natural flow.
The new design reimagines the space as an open, cohesive environment that connects cooking, dining, and social spaces seamlessly.

Highlights:

  • Expanded workspace and improved traffic flow
  • Increased natural light through finish reflectivity
  • Custom island design with waterfall quartz detail
  • Neutral palette accentuated by wood tones and soft grays

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!
