Open the walls. Build the island everyone gathers around. Add the light, the quartz, the finish work that makes people stop in the doorway. One crew, 30+ years, start to finish — with no surprises on the bill.
Most Marietta kitchens were built decades ago — a wall between the stove and the family, a too-small island, storage that stops a foot short of the ceiling, one sad light over the sink.
We take that wall down, run a beam you'll never see, pour in a 10-foot quartz island with seating for five, layer the lighting (recessed, pendants, under-counter), and finish every edge with the trim carpentry that made our name. Your kitchen goes from the room you cook in to the room everyone lives in.
"Same footprint. Completely different house." — that's the reaction we build for.
Marietta has more kitchen variety than anywhere in Cobb County: 1960s ranches and split-levels around the Square with small closed kitchens, 1980s and 1990s two-stories off Johnson Ferry and Roswell Road with dated oak and tile counters, and larger newer homes where the kitchen just needs to be brought up to the rest of the house. Each one calls for a different plan, and we have done hundreds of them.
A typical Marietta project: open the wall between a galley kitchen and the living room, reroute the plumbing for a sink in a new island, replace the tile counters with quartz, add a range hood and pendant lighting, and refinish or replace the hardwoods so the whole main floor matches.
Load-bearing walls out, beams in, sight lines to the family room and the backyard. This is the change that makes people say "wow."
Waterfall quartz, seating for the whole family, prep sink, hidden outlets, storage on every side. The heart of the new kitchen.
Quartz, granite, marble and butcher block — templated and installed to the millimeter, with slab or tile backsplashes that line up.
Recessed cans, pendants over the island, under-counter LEDs and dimmers — a kitchen that looks as good at 9 PM as it does at noon.
Hardwood and tile flooring, coffered or beamed ceilings, crown molding and custom range hoods — the finish carpentry that separates good from unforgettable.
Walk-in pantry conversions, pro ranges, panel-ready appliances and pot fillers — installed, vented and wired right the first time.
