Kitchens in Matthews

Cottage kitchens and suburban ones.

Matthews has an old town center and a ring of established neighborhoods around it, and the kitchens in each want different things. Pick the setting closest to yours.

Historic cottages

Cottages and bungalows near the town center

Older Matthews houses tend to have small kitchens with low ceilings and narrow doors, often at the back of the house. Floors slope, walls aren't square, and every inch of storage counts. The charm is in the details, so we aim to keep what is worth keeping.

We fit cabinets to uneven surfaces, use space carefully, and preserve the details that make the house.

Common in this setting

  • Small rooms with narrow doorways
  • Floors that tilt under old cabinets
  • Original windows and trim that add character

What we are called for

What Matthews homeowners most often want.

  • Use a small room well

    Reconfigure cabinets, counters, and lighting to get more from the space.

  • Open the kitchen

    Remove a wall or soffit so the kitchen connects to living areas.

  • Better lighting and outlets

    Add task lighting and enough outlets for modern appliances.

  • Counters and a backsplash that are easy to clean

    Replace tile counters with surfaces that are easier to keep clean.

  • Plumbing updates

    Replace tired lines and move the sink or dishwasher if needed.

  • Sell-ready refresh

    Update the kitchen to improve how the house shows.

What happens when

A kitchen project, one stage at a time.

  1. Step 1

    Talk through how you use the room

    Where you cook, where guests gather, and what frustrates you today drive the plan. Good layouts start with habits, not catalogs.

  2. Step 2

    Draw and choose

    A layout, cabinet style, counter material, and appliance list are agreed on in writing. Long-lead items such as cabinets are ordered early.

  3. Step 3

    Clear the room

    Existing cabinets, counters, and flooring are removed with the rest of the house protected. Dust barriers and floor protection keep the mess in the work zone.

  4. Step 4

    Update behind the walls

    Plumbing, electrical, and ventilation are adjusted to the new layout. This is the best time to add outlets, lights, or a gas line.

  5. Step 5

    Build back and finish

    Cabinets, counters, tile, paint, and hardware go in, then appliances. A final walk-through lists any touch-ups.

See our kitchen remodeling guide for layouts, materials, and timelines.

Before you commit

What to plan for in a Matthews kitchen.

Plan for

In a smaller or older kitchen, a few early decisions go a long way.

  • Measure what you must keep, such as a window, a range, or a door.Assume a wall is just a partition.
  • Let us check walls, floors, and ceilings before the layout is set.Ignore permits when pipes, wires, or gas lines move.
  • Set up a temporary cooking area.Swap finishes once the cabinets are on order.
  • Give us the appliance list so circuits and ducts are right.Throw out original details before deciding what to keep.
  • Leave time for permits, inspections, and deliveries.
