Monroe's kitchens run from rooms in century-old houses near the courthouse square to farmhouse kitchens built for big families. We measure, plan in writing, and build the whole project, including plumbing, wiring, cabinets, counters, and finishes.

Kitchens in Monroe

Courthouse-square houses and farmhouse kitchens.

In Monroe, the kitchen is often the room the whole household uses, from morning coffee to Sunday dinner. That shapes what owners want here, whether the house is in town or out in the country.

Near downtown

Houses near the courthouse square

Older Monroe houses have kitchens that have been remodeled more than once, often leaving a mix of materials, uneven floors, and wiring that has been added to rather than replaced. Ceilings may be high, windows tall, and original trim worth saving.

We open the room carefully, update systems behind the finishes, and protect the details that give the house its character.

Common in this setting

  • Layers of old floors and wall finishes
  • Wiring that has been extended over decades
  • Tall windows and trim that deserve to stay

What we are called for

What Monroe homeowners most often want.

  • Connect the kitchen to the rest of the house

    Connect the cook to the family room by opening a wall where the structure allows it.

  • More storage

    Add a pantry, deep drawers, and better corner cabinets.

  • Updated wiring

    Bring old circuits up to current standards and add outlets.

  • Durable counters

    Choose surfaces that resist heat, stains, and daily wear.

  • New plumbing

    Replace old lines and relocate the sink or dishwasher.

  • Resale refresh

    Update the kitchen to improve how the house 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.

  • Have us look inside walls and ceilings before you fix the layout.Start work that changes utilities before a permit is issued.
  • Put a refrigerator and microwave in another room for the duration.Rethink the layout once the walls are open.
