Kitchen Remodeling in Brunswick + Sagadahoc County

Design and Layout Consultation

Every kitchen remodel starts in the kitchen itself. We walk the space with you, talk through what you like, what you avoid, and where the room falls apart during a normal day. That might mean not enough prep space, poor storage, awkward appliance placement, or traffic piling up when more than one person is cooking. Layout decisions come first because they affect everything that follows. Cabinet sizes, aisle widths, lighting, and appliance clearances all hinge on getting this right early. This is also where we start pressure testing ideas so the plan makes sense beyond a drawing.

Detailed Quote and Timelines

Once we agree on scope, we put real numbers to it. The quote reflects the actual work involved, including materials, labor, cabinetry, tile, countertops, and any specialty trades required. There are no placeholder allowances meant to be figured out later. We also lay out a clear timeline so you know what happens when and how long each phase typically takes. That clarity matters, especially when you are planning around a kitchen being out of service for a stretch of time.

Demo and Construction

Demolition and construction are planned, not improvised. We protect the rest of the home, manage dust and debris, and keep the site organized. Trades are scheduled in a sequence that makes sense so work does not overlap or slow progress. Carpentry, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical work are coordinated deliberately. You know who to contact, and you know where the project stands as it moves forward.

Final Installation and More

The final phase is where details matter most. Cabinets need to sit correctly. Countertops need to fit the space, not just the template. Fixtures need to work the way they should. We take time to review the finished work, make adjustments, and address issues before calling the project complete. We then walk the kitchen with you and make sure everything looks right and functions the way it was intended.

Layout changes often have the biggest impact on how a kitchen feels. Removing a wall, widening an opening, or shifting an appliance can change the entire flow of the room. These decisions also carry structural and mechanical consequences. We look closely at framing, load paths, and existing systems so changes improve function without creating new problems or unnecessary cost.

Material choices affect how the kitchen looks on day one and how it holds up years later. We walk through countertop options, flooring materials, and tile selections with durability, maintenance, and daily use in mind. Some materials demand more care than others, and some perform better in busy kitchens. We talk through those tradeoffs before anything is ordered.

Cabinetry drives both storage and proportion. Drawer layouts, cabinet depth, pantry planning, and internal organization matter just as much as door style. We focus on how cabinets will actually be used and how they fit the scale of the room. Whether the project involves fully custom cabinets or a more streamlined solution, function stays at the center of the decision making.

Lighting affects how the kitchen actually works, not just how it looks in photos. We plan lighting around where you prep, cook, clean, and gather, and we think about how those needs change from morning to night. Trim and finish work follow the same logic. If those details are rushed or treated as an afterthought, the kitchen never quite feels right. When they're handled properly, the room feels intentional instead of pieced together over time.

This is where many projects quietly drift off course. Hardware, sinks, backsplashes, ventilation details, appliance clearances, even where switches land on the wall all matter more than people expect. None of these choices are huge on their own, but they stack quickly. We help you slow that part down, talk through the tradeoffs, and make decisions that won't cause headaches later once cabinets are installed and walls are closed up.
