Loray Mill and downtown
Small older houses near Loray Mill and downtown
Kitchens in mill-era houses are compact, often at the back of the house, with narrow doorways and low ceilings. Making them work well is about smart layouts, good storage, and updated wiring, not necessarily more square feet.
We plan storage and counter space carefully, upgrade wiring, and choose appliances that fit the room.
Common in this setting
- Tight layouts with little counter space
- Older wiring with few outlets
- Narrow doorways that limit appliance size

How a remodel runs
From first measurements to the last cabinet door.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
