Kitchen Remodeling and Design Services

Custom Layout and Space Planning

Many kitchens lack the right flow, especially when the original layout no longer supports your lifestyle. We begin by rethinking how the space functions. Our team can open up the floor plan, improve storage placement, and enhance access to adjoining spaces like dining rooms or living areas.

Cabinetry and Built-In Storage

Well-planned cabinetry is both functional and personal. We design custom storage that suits the way you cook, organize, and live. Whether you prefer full-height pantries, concealed appliances, or inset drawers, we will build cabinetry that brings lasting quality and visual appeal.

Lighting and Electrical Updates

Lighting design plays a major role in both atmosphere and usability. We upgrade electrical systems as needed and incorporate layered lighting strategies that include overhead, task, and under-cabinet fixtures. The result is a kitchen that feels bright, warm, and highly functional.

Countertops and Surface Selections

From quartz and granite to soapstone and marble, our clients have access to a curated range of countertop options. We guide selections based on your cooking habits, aesthetic preferences, and long-term durability goals. Integrated backsplashes, waterfall edges, and full-height wall finishes can all be incorporated.

Flooring and Material Coordination

The right flooring can tie the entire space together. We offer hardwood, tile, and luxury vinyl options that complement cabinetry and counters while holding up to moisture, heat, and daily traffic. Our designers help coordinate finishes so your kitchen feels connected and complete.

Appliance Specification and Integration

Choosing and positioning appliances is both a functional and visual decision. We help you select models that meet your cooking needs and align with the design. Built-in refrigeration, double ovens, drawer microwaves, and flush cooktops are all possible within a tailored layout.

Remodeling the Full Main Level

Many of our clients want to renovate not just the kitchen, but the entire central living space. We can help you reimagine the relationship between kitchen, dining, and family rooms. Walls can be moved or removed, flooring unified, and trim updated for a fully refreshed main floor.

Work With the Right Kitchen Remodeling Team

Working with a design-build firm gives you more than convenience. It gives you a single, aligned team that handles your kitchen remodel from start to finish. At 5stone, we manage architecture, layout design, permits, demolition, construction, and finish work in-house. That structure leads to smoother timelines, clearer communication, and a more responsive experience overall.

When design and construction are handled separately, changes often cause delays or confusion. Our model removes those gaps. Your designer is already talking to your builder, and both understand your goals from the start. That means fewer missteps, better budget control, and a finished space that matches your vision without compromise.

5stone Has Even Higher Standards Than You Do

A Collaborative and Refined Process

We believe successful remodeling begins with careful listening. You will have one point of contact and a dedicated team that collaborates internally throughout your project. Our process has been shaped to reduce stress, make timelines more predictable, and help you feel confident in every decision.

Craftsmanship That Holds Up Over Time

We build with long-term durability in mind. Whether we are installing cabinetry, refinishing hardwood, or building out structural framing, our goal is the same: to create a kitchen that will hold up to daily use and still feel right a decade from now. You will see the difference in the details.
