Kitchen remodeling in Salem Township for large custom homes

Kitchen RemodelingA full kitchen remodel suits 1990s and 2000s Salem custom kitchens that need lighter finishes and a better-organized plan, often while keeping the footprint, the plumbing runs and any cabinet boxes still worth saving.Kitchen CabinetsFurniture-grade kitchen cabinets are Nick's specialty, a match for large rooms off Six Mile Road where cabinetry is most of what you see from the great room, the foyer and the stairs.Kitchen Island Design & InstallationKitchen islands split into a working island and a seating island, the usual fix when one oversized Salem island has pushed the sink, range and refrigerator too far apart.Custom Range HoodsCustom range hoods scaled for kitchens that open into two-story great rooms, where a small insert disappears visually and cooking smells drift straight up to the balcony.Kitchen DesignKitchen design for new custom homes still going up on Salem's open parcels, drawn alongside the builder's plans so outlets, windows and plumbing land where the cabinetry needs them.Wine Cellar & Home BarFinished lower levels in Salem's custom homes are natural spots for a wine cellar or home bar, planned with the septic system and the walkout's daylight in mind.Bathroom RemodelingBathroom remodeling for primary suites with the same dated travertine and jetted tubs, which owners usually trade for a curbless walk-in shower, heated tile floor and a furniture-style double vanity.

Raised-panel cherry, travertine and two-story great rooms off Six Mile Road

Salem's custom homes were built over several decades, but the largest wave came in the 1990s and 2000s. Kitchens from that period share a look: raised-panel cherry or maple, crown molding stacked on crown, tumbled travertine backsplashes and dark granite with a heavy ogee edge. They were costly and well built, which makes owners hesitant to tear them out. Our approach is to keep what is worth keeping, often the footprint and plumbing, and replace what dates the room.

Scale also creates problems that smaller houses never face. A single giant island can push the sink, range and refrigerator far apart. Two islands, one for work and one for gathering, often solve it. Two-story great rooms next to the kitchen make lighting and hood ventilation harder, and private wells and septic systems remain the norm across the township.

A Salem project, from the first walk-through to final punch list

The process starts in your kitchen. Nick interviews you about how the house works on a weeknight and during a party, notes what you want to keep, and measures. If you are building new, he meets you and your builder over the plans instead. A design retainer covers the design phase, with layout exploration, renderings in 3D, cabinet elevations and technical drawings, ending in a pricing presentation.

Finish choices happen at the house, by the hour or under a package fee. Cabinetry for a room this size can take a while to arrive, so Kitchen NV places that order as soon as you sign the purchase agreement; construction then passes to partner contractors. Nick remains involved through installation and the punch list.
