How Do I Know If I Need a Kitchen Remodel?
You don’t need a “terrible” kitchen to justify a remodel. Most of our St. Louis clients come to us because of one or more of these:
The layout makes cooking or entertaining stressful
Storage is never enough (or never where you need it)
Finishes feel dated, dark, or worn down
Appliances are crammed together or spread out in odd places
You’re hosting more family, but your kitchen can’t keep up
You’re planning to stay in your home and want it to match your lifestyle
If you’re constantly working around your kitchen instead of with it, it’s usually time to talk to a design-build team and see what’s possible.
Curious if your kitchen needs a full remodel or just a smart refresh?

Our Kitchen Remodeling Process
A well-planned process is the difference between “we’re surviving this remodel” and “this was worth it.”
Consultation and In-Home Visit
We start with a conversation about how you use your kitchen, what’s not working, and what your goals are. Then we visit your home, take measurements, and look closely at the existing space.
Design and Selections
Our team develops layout options, cabinet plans, and recommendations for materials. We guide you through:
Cabinet styles and storage
Countertops, backsplash, flooring, and fixtures
Appliance placement and lighting
The goal: a design that fits your budget, your home, and your lifestyle.
Construction and Updates
Once everything is approved and materials are ordered, we schedule construction. Our crews:
Protect adjacent areas of your home
Keep the job site as clean as possible
Communicate clearly about what’s happening each week
You’ll know who to contact, what’s happening next, and when milestones will be completed.
Final Walkthrough and Warranty
When work is complete, we walk the space with you, confirm details, and address any final touch-ups. We stand behind our craftsmanship and are available if you have questions after the project wraps.
