Ready for a kitchen renovation in Tennessee? We serve Memphis and the surrounding areas. Tennessee experiences distinct seasons, from hot summers to cool winters. While kitchen remodels can happen year-round, planning for warmer months for any exterior work or deliveries is practical. Indoor comfort is maintained throughout the year.
Tennessee's housing market, especially in cities like Memphis, features a wide range of home styles, including historic homes and more contemporary builds. Older properties might have unique structural considerations. We specialize in updating these homes, ensuring your kitchen remodel respects the existing architecture while incorporating modern functionality and design. Our expertise aims to enhance your home's appeal and livability.
Permitting in Tennessee is handled at the county or city level, and we manage this process for you.

For an expensive look in your Tennessee kitchen, consider deep, rich colors. Navy, charcoal, or a deep forest green can add sophistication. Pairing these with high-contrast white or light wood cabinets creates a timeless, elegant feel. These color palettes work well in both historic and modern Tennessee homes.
Both quartz and granite are excellent choices for your kitchen remodel. Quartz is engineered, making it non-porous and highly resistant to stains and scratches, requiring minimal upkeep. Granite is a natural stone offering unique patterns and durability, though it needs sealing. Both are great options for Tennessee kitchens.
The main disadvantage of granite countertops is their porosity, which can lead to staining if not sealed properly. They also require periodic resealing to maintain their protective qualities. While visually stunning, chips or deep scratches can be challenging to repair seamlessly. We ensure your granite is well-maintained.
The material often called 'fake granite' is typically engineered quartz. It is made from natural quartz crystals blended with resins and pigments. This creates a consistent, durable surface that mimics the look of natural stone. It's a popular, low-maintenance alternative for kitchens.
The cost of a 10 ft piece of granite countertop depends on several factors. The specific type of granite, its rarity, and the required edge detailing or cutouts all influence the price. Installation costs are also a significant part of the total. A free phone quote will provide an accurate estimate for your project.
For Memphis homes, consider updating older cabinetry and improving lighting to brighten the space. Adding functional storage solutions can maximize usability. Incorporating elements that reflect the local charm can also be a great touch. We help create kitchens that are both practical and stylish for Memphis residents.
