As the holidays approach, the heart of the home becomes the space where family gathers, meals are prepared, and memories are made. If your space feels a little dated or crowded, you don’t need a full renovation to give it new life. Sometimes, a kitchen refresh is all it takes to make your home look and feel brand new.
We specialize in helping homeowners throughout Raleigh and the surrounding areas update their homes in ways that fit their lifestyle, budget, and timeline. We understand that not every kitchen needs a full overhaul. That’s why we offer a kitchen refresh, conserving what can be reused and focusing on improvements where they make the greatest impact. The result is a space that feels renewed and more functional.
What is a Kitchen Refresh?
A kitchen refresh focuses on the elements that make the biggest visual and practical impact. Most often, that means installing new countertops and backsplashes—two updates that can instantly modernize your space. We can also replace sinks and faucets, upgrade appliances, or even install a new range hood exhaust vent to improve air quality. Nearly 40% of our customers previously had range hoods that simply recirculated air, rather than venting steam, odors, and grease outside—something we’re always glad to correct.
Kitchen Cabinets: Refinish or Replace?
Cabinets are almost always part of the conversation—should you refinish the ones you have or start fresh with new cabinetry? We offer both options and help you determine what makes the most sense for your space, your budget, and your goals.
If your cabinets are structurally sound but simply dated or worn, then refreshing kitchen cabinets is often the ideal choice. We use a professional cabinet refinishing process—repainting rather than “refacing.” Refacing means gluing a thin laminate veneer over the old surface, which we don’t recommend for long-term results. Refinishing provides a durable, high-quality finish that restores the beauty of your cabinets and gives your cabinets a completely renewed appearance.
Sometimes we install new cabinet doors on the existing framework, but because doors alone can account for roughly 50–65% of the cost of brand-new cabinetry—and when you factor in overlay, hardware, and minor layout changes—the total cost often approaches that of a full replacement. For this reason, many of our clients ultimately choose new cabinets.
Design Options for Every Style and Budget
We offer a wide spectrum of cabinetry and kitchen design options to suit every budget and style—from stock and semi-custom lines to fully bespoke designs. Whether you’re planning a kitchen refresh or a high-end remodel, our team works closely with you to find the perfect fit for your home. Visit our Kitchen Design page for a helpful overview of selections for cabinets, countertops, backsplashes, sinks, appliances, and more—so you can start envisioning a space that’s beautiful, functional, and uniquely yours.
Small Changes, Big Impact
Even minor upgrades can make a big difference during holiday entertaining. A new or extended countertop provides a more functional workspace, a deeper sink or upgraded faucet makes cleanup easier, and improved ventilation keeps the space comfortable for cooking and conversation.
You can also create more functional space without major construction. Clearing counters, organizing the pantry, or adding a rolling prep cart opens up work areas for serving and plating. Some homeowners even use a cutting board that fits over the sink to gain extra prep space. With a few thoughtful tweaks, your Raleigh kitchen refresh can help your home feel warm, efficient, and ready to welcome family and friends.
