Full-Service Kitchen Remodeling Across Connecticut
Every kitchen project is different. A 1980s ranch in Berlin needs different work than a 1920s Colonial in West Hartford or a new build in Cromwell. We don't do template kitchens. Every job starts with a real conversation about how you cook, who eats together, where the appliances should actually live, and what you can afford. Then we design and build accordingly.
Custom Kitchen Design
Layout, work-triangle, traffic flow, lighting plans, and 3D renderings. We design around how you actually use the space — not how a magazine photo looks.
Custom Cabinetry & Millwork
Semi-custom and fully custom cabinetry sourced from established Connecticut and New England suppliers. Built to last decades, not the 7–10 year lifespan of big-box stock.
Countertops & Backsplashes
Quartz, granite, soapstone, butcher block. Professional template, fabrication, and install — including the trickier stuff like waterfall edges, integrated sinks, and full-height stone backsplashes.
Plumbing, Electrical & Appliances
Coordinated permits, licensed sub-trades, and appliance install. We handle the trades so you talk to one project lead, not five different vendors.
Layout Changes & Wall Removals
Open up that closed-off galley to the dining room. Move the refrigerator wall. We handle structural, framing, and the inspector visit — not just cosmetics.
Lighting & Finishes
Recessed cans, under-cabinet, pendant placement, and the modern dimmer/scene controls clients ask for in 2026. Plus paint, hardware, fixtures, and the small details that make a $50k kitchen feel like a $100k one.

Why Connecticut Homeowners Pick Us
There's a reason most of our work comes from referrals: we don't cut corners, we don't disappear mid-project, and we don't pad the bill at the end.
25+ Years of Connecticut Craftsmanship
Two-and-a-half decades of remodeling work across central CT means we've seen every quirky 1900s framing situation, every pre-war electrical surprise, and every "the previous contractor did what?" moment.
Transparent, Itemized Quotes
You'll see exactly what each line item costs — cabinetry, countertops, sub-trade labor, our labor, materials, permits. No surprise upcharges at the end. If we hit something hidden behind a wall, we stop and talk to you before adding to the bill.
One Point of Contact, Whole Project
Jay or another project lead is your single contact from quote through final walkthrough. Subcontractors don't communicate with you separately. You don't get bounced between five vendors.
Connecticut Kitchen Remodel FAQs
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Connecticut?
It depends heavily on scope. A cosmetic refresh (new paint, hardware, countertops over existing cabinets) can run from $8,000–$20,000. A standard mid-range remodel with new cabinets, counters, appliances, and lighting typically lands $35,000–$75,000 in central Connecticut. Full-gut renovations with layout changes, custom cabinetry, and luxury finishes run $80,000–$180,000+. Every quote we write is itemized so you can see exactly where the dollars go.
How long does a Connecticut kitchen remodel take?
For a typical mid-range project — demo, new cabinets, counters, appliances, paint, fixtures — expect 5–10 weeks from demo to walkthrough. Custom cabinetry often adds 2–4 weeks of lead time before demo even starts. Full-gut renovations with structural work can run 12–16 weeks. We give a written timeline with the quote and update it weekly during the project.
Do you handle permits and inspections?
Yes — for any project requiring electrical, plumbing, or structural permits, we pull them, coordinate with your town's building department, and schedule inspections. For Berlin, Newington, West Hartford, Cromwell, and the surrounding towns, we already have working relationships with the inspectors.
Will I have a kitchen during the remodel?
Honestly — not really, during the demo and rough-in phase. We help clients set up a "temporary kitchen" in another room (often basement or laundry room) with a microwave, mini-fridge, and a hot plate. That setup typically lasts 4–7 weeks during a standard remodel. Most families plan around it; some take a vacation in the middle.
Do you offer free quotes?
Yes — free, written, itemized quotes with a real on-site visit. We'll measure, talk through your goals, and email you a written proposal within a few business days. No pressure to commit on the spot.
Are you licensed and insured for Connecticut remodeling work?
Yes. We're a fully licensed Connecticut home improvement contractor with comprehensive liability insurance. License and certificate of insurance available on request before any work starts.
