Kitchen Remodeling Services That Transform Your Home

Create the Kitchen You’ve Always Dreamed About

Your kitchen is more than just a place to prepare meals. It’s where your family gathers for morning coffee, where homework gets done at the counter, where friends congregate during parties, and where some of life’s most meaningful conversations happen. When your kitchen doesn’t function the way you need it to—or simply doesn’t reflect your style anymore—everything feels a little off.

At Praiano Custom Home Builders, we understand that a kitchen remodel is about more than new cabinets and countertops. It’s about creating a space that works for how you actually live. Whether you’re dealing with an outdated layout, insufficient storage, worn surfaces, or simply a style that no longer speaks to you, our team brings the same level of craftsmanship and attention to detail to kitchen remodeling that we apply to building custom homes.

Our Kitchen Remodeling Services

Complete Kitchen Renovations From layout redesign to the final coat of paint, we handle every aspect of your kitchen transformation. This comprehensive approach means changing the footprint, relocating appliances, installing new cabinetry, upgrading plumbing and electrical systems, and selecting all the finishes that make your kitchen uniquely yours.

Cabinet Installation and Custom Cabinetry Cabinets define your kitchen’s functionality and style. We work with quality cabinet manufacturers and can also coordinate custom cabinetry solutions that maximize every inch of available space. From soft-close drawers and pull-out organizers to specialized storage for your specific needs, we help you create a kitchen that keeps everything organized and accessible.

Countertop Installation Choose from granite, quartz, marble, butcher block, or other premium materials. We guide you through the selection process, considering durability, maintenance requirements, and aesthetic appeal to find the perfect surface for your lifestyle and budget.

Kitchen Layout Redesign Sometimes the bones of your kitchen just don’t work. We can reconfigure your space to improve flow, create better work zones, add an island, or open the kitchen to adjacent living areas. Our design expertise ensures your new layout isn’t just visually appealing but genuinely functional for how you cook and entertain.

Lighting Design and Installation Proper lighting transforms a kitchen from merely functional to genuinely inviting. We design layered lighting plans that include ambient lighting for overall illumination, task lighting for prep areas, and accent lighting to highlight architectural features or create ambiance.

Flooring Installation From durable tile and elegant hardwood to practical luxury vinyl, we install flooring that withstands the demands of a busy kitchen while complementing your overall design vision.

Backsplash Installation The backsplash is where personality shines through. Whether you prefer classic subway tile, dramatic natural stone, or eye-catching patterns, we handle professional installation that protects your walls and elevates your kitchen’s aesthetic.

Plumbing and Electrical Upgrades Modern kitchens demand updated systems. We upgrade plumbing to accommodate new fixtures and appliances, and enhance electrical systems to handle today’s power requirements—from additional outlets to dedicated circuits for major appliances.

Our Kitchen Remodeling Process

Initial Consultation and Goal Setting We start by understanding your vision, frustrations with your current kitchen, and how you want the space to function. This conversation covers everything from your cooking habits and storage needs to your style preferences and budget parameters.

Design Development Our team creates a detailed design plan that addresses your functional needs while reflecting your personal style. We consider work triangle efficiency, traffic flow, storage solutions, and how the kitchen connects to adjacent spaces. You’ll see your new kitchen take shape through drawings and 3D renderings when appropriate.

We guide you through selections for cabinets, countertops, flooring, fixtures, hardware, and appliances, helping you balance aesthetics, durability, and budget to create a cohesive design you’ll love for years.

Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen Remodeling

How long does a kitchen remodel take?

Timeline varies significantly based on the scope of your project. A straightforward cabinet and countertop replacement with minimal layout changes typically takes six to eight weeks from start to completion. More extensive remodels involving layout changes, moving plumbing or gas lines, and structural modifications usually require ten to fourteen weeks. These timeframes include demolition, construction, and installation of all finishes. We provide a detailed project schedule during the planning phase and keep you informed of progress throughout. Keep in mind that material lead times, permit approvals, and unexpected discoveries during demolition can affect schedules, which is why we build appropriate contingency time into our planning.

Can I stay in my home during the kitchen remodel?

Most homeowners do remain in their homes during kitchen renovations, though you should prepare for some inconvenience. You’ll be without a functioning kitchen for the duration of the project, so many families set up a temporary kitchen in another room with a microwave, coffee maker, and mini-refrigerator. We take extensive measures to contain dust and debris, create barriers between the work zone and living areas, and maintain the cleanest possible job site. We’ll discuss strategies for minimizing disruption during your consultation. Some families find it helpful to plan a vacation during the messiest phases, but this typically isn’t necessary for the entire project.

What should I budget for a kitchen remodel?

Kitchen remodeling costs vary widely based on size, materials, and scope of work. A minor remodel updating cabinets, countertops, and appliances while keeping the existing layout differs significantly in cost from a major renovation involving layout changes and structural work. During your consultation, we discuss your budget parameters and design a remodel that delivers maximum value within your comfort zone. We provide detailed, transparent estimates that break down costs for materials, labor, and any necessary structural work. This allows you to make informed decisions about where to invest your budget for the best return in both functionality and enjoyment.

Should I choose custom or stock cabinets?

Both options have merits depending on your needs and budget. Stock cabinets come in standard sizes and are more budget-friendly with shorter lead times. They work well for straightforward layouts and offer decent quality in various styles. Custom cabinets are built specifically for your space, allowing perfect fit, personalized storage solutions, and unlimited design possibilities. They cost more and take longer to produce but deliver a truly tailored result. Semi-custom cabinets offer a middle ground with some customization options at moderate price points. We help you evaluate these options based on your kitchen’s specific requirements, your budget, and your design goals.

Will my kitchen remodel increase my home’s value?

Kitchen remodels typically offer strong returns on investment, often recouping 60 to 80 percent of costs in increased home value. The exact return depends on the quality of materials, appropriateness for your neighborhood, and overall execution. However, the real value extends beyond resale numbers. You’ll enjoy improved functionality, enhanced aesthetics, and better energy efficiency every day you remain in your home. When evaluating whether to remodel, consider both the financial return and the quality-of-life improvement. A well-designed kitchen that meets your needs provides tremendous value even if you never plan to sell.

What’s the best kitchen layout for my space?

The ideal layout depends on your kitchen’s dimensions, how you use the space, and your household’s needs. The classic work triangle connecting sink, stove, and refrigerator remains a solid foundation for efficient workflow. Islands work wonderfully in larger kitchens, providing extra prep space, storage, and casual dining. Galley kitchens maximize efficiency in narrow spaces. L-shaped and U-shaped layouts offer good work zones in various room configurations. During the design phase, we evaluate your specific space, discuss how you cook and entertain, and recommend layouts that optimize functionality while creating the aesthetic you’re envisioning.

How do I choose the right countertop material?

Countertop selection involves balancing aesthetics, durability, maintenance requirements, and budget. Granite offers natural beauty and excellent durability but requires periodic sealing. Quartz provides similar looks with virtually no maintenance and impressive durability. Marble delivers stunning elegance but needs more careful maintenance and is prone to staining. Butcher block creates warmth but requires regular oiling. Each material has distinct advantages and considerations. We walk you through samples, discuss your cooking habits and maintenance preferences, and help you select a surface that looks beautiful and performs well for your lifestyle.
