Kitchens in Charlotte

Every Charlotte kitchen starts from a different house.

The age and style of the home decide what is easy, what is hard, and what needs approval. Pick the setting closest to yours to see how we usually approach it.

Dilworth, Plaza Midwood, Elizabeth

Bungalows and cottages in the older neighborhoods

Kitchens in houses from the 1920s through the 1940s are often small, closed off from the dining room, and tucked into one corner. Walls may be plaster over lath, floors may have been patched over decades, and wiring often needs an update when appliances and lighting change.

We plan around what is worth saving, open the room carefully where it helps, and update wiring and plumbing to current code.

Common in this setting

  • Small galley layouts with little counter space
  • Plaster walls that are hard to chase for new wiring
  • Original windows and trim worth keeping

What we are called for

What Charlotte homeowners most often want from a kitchen.

  • Open the room up

    Remove a wall or widen an opening so the kitchen connects to dining and living areas.

  • More storage and counter space

    Reconfigure cabinets, add an island or pantry, and make better use of corners.

  • Updated wiring and lighting

    Add circuits for modern appliances and layered lighting over work areas.

  • New counters and backsplash

    Choose durable surfaces that match how the kitchen is used.

  • Fix plumbing issues

    Replace old supply lines and drains while the walls are open.

  • Prepare a house for sale

    Update the kitchen to improve how the house shows and sells.

How a remodel runs

From first measurements to the last cabinet door.

  1. Step 1

    Visit and measure

    We walk the kitchen, measure everything, and listen to how you cook and live in it. We note walls, plumbing, and wiring that limit what is possible.

  2. Step 2

    Plan and price

    You get a written scope with layout, cabinets, counters, and appliances spelled out. Changes are easier on paper than after demolition.

  3. Step 3

    Demolish and rough in

    Old cabinets come out, and plumbing and electrical are moved or updated. Inspections happen at this stage where required.

  4. Step 4

    Install the structure

    Drywall, flooring, and cabinets go in, followed by templates for countertops. Countertops are cut to the installed cabinets, so templating comes after they are set.

  5. Step 5

    Finish and hand over

    Counters, backsplash, paint, and fixtures are completed, and we walk through it with you. Small adjustments are made before we call it done.

For a longer explanation of each phase, read our kitchen remodeling guide.

Local context

What shapes a kitchen project in Charlotte.

Houses and buildings

  • Older homes need careful work around plaster, old wiring, and original features.
  • Mid-century ranches often have a wall worth opening, but it must be checked first.
  • Condos have rules about hours, deliveries, and what can change.
  • Newer homes often need better storage and finishes, not a new layout.

Rules and approvals

  • Changes to plumbing, electrical, gas, or structure usually need a permit.
  • Homes built before 1978 may need lead-safe work practices.
  • Some neighborhoods review exterior changes, though interior work is generally not reviewed.
  • Condo and HOA approvals can take time, so apply early.

Before you commit

What to plan for in a Charlotte kitchen.

Plan for

A few decisions made early make the whole project smoother.

  • Check whether your neighborhood or building has approval rules before you set a design.Assume a wall can come out without checking what it carries.
  • Decide on cabinets and counters early; they have the longest lead times.Skip permits for plumbing, electrical, or gas changes.
  • Plan a temporary kitchen with a fridge, microwave, and a small prep area.Change the layout after demolition, when changes are costly.
  • List every appliance, since each one affects circuits and venting.Throw out original materials that could be reused or matched.
  • Leave room in the schedule for inspections and deliveries.
