Kitchen Remodeling in Malden, MA

What this looks like in Malden

Interior work in Malden is shaped by what the buildings are. Two- and three-family houses from the 1890s through the 1920s, brick apartment blocks near the centre, and a scattering of Victorians on the higher ground. Small landlords and owner-occupants living in one unit of a two- or three-family.

Our process

Most kitchens don't need gutting. Refinished cabinets and fresh surfaces get you most of the way for a fraction of the cost.

Most kitchens we're called for don't need gutting. Cabinet boxes are usually sound, the layout is fixed by the plumbing, and what's actually dated is the finish. Refinished doors, new hardware, fresh walls and trim gets you most of the way at a fraction of the cost.

The mistake we get called to fix

Spending the budget on cabinetry and running out before the walls, ceiling and trim get done. The new cabinets then sit against tired surfaces and the room still reads dated.
