Kitchen Remodeling Charlotte NC
A Kitchen Remodel Experience Centered on You
Many Charlotte homeowners are choosing to renovate instead of move, especially in established neighborhoods close to Uptown where the location is hard to beat but the kitchen hasn't been touched in decades. We understand that transforming a kitchen is a major undertaking, so we prioritize clear communication, transparency, and respect for your home from day one, whether that's an older Charlotte property needing a full layout overhaul or a newer build that just needs updated finishes.

Clients Love Us, You Will Too
Custom Kitchens Designed to Inspire
Whether you envision a sleek, modern kitchen or a warm, inviting space with timeless character, our design team collaborates closely with you to bring your vision to life. Older Charlotte homes often require creative layout solutions to open up smaller original footprints, sometimes removing walls to connect the kitchen to a dining or living space, while newer construction gives more flexibility for larger islands and open concept living. From layout planning and cabinetry design to materials, lighting, and finishes, every detail is intentionally selected to create a cohesive kitchen tailored to your home's era and the way you cook, gather, and live.
Full Design Build Kitchen Remodeling
A kitchen remodel with DGK Design & Build can be as focused or as complete as your home needs. Common projects include removing walls to open a closed off kitchen into adjoining living space, replacing dated cabinetry and countertops, adding or expanding an island, upgrading appliances and lighting, and reworking plumbing and electrical in homes where it has never been touched. Every project includes design, material selection, and construction under one team, so you are not managing separate designers and contractors yourself.
What Does a Kitchen Remodel Cost in Charlotte?
The cost of a kitchen remodel in Charlotte depends heavily on the scope of the project and the age of the home. A cosmetic refresh with new cabinet fronts, counters, and finishes typically falls on the lower end of the range, while a full kitchen renovation involving a layout change, custom cabinetry, and high end appliances runs higher. Older Charlotte homes sometimes carry additional cost if plumbing, electrical, or structural walls need to be addressed to open up the space. We provide a realistic budget range on our first call, so you are not waiting weeks for a quote that misses your budget.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Charlotte, NC?
Cost depends on the size of the kitchen, the scope of work, and the age of the home. A cosmetic update costs less than a full renovation involving a layout change, custom cabinetry, and high end finishes. We give you a realistic ballpark on your first call.
How long does a kitchen remodel take?
Most kitchen remodels take several weeks to a few months from the start of construction to final walkthrough, not including the design phase. Projects involving structural changes or moving plumbing and electrical take longer. We give you a project timeline before the build agreement is signed, so there are no surprises.
Do I need a permit to remodel a kitchen in Charlotte?
Most kitchen remodels involving plumbing, electrical, gas line, or structural changes require a permit from the City of Charlotte or Mecklenburg County. DGK Design & Build handles the permitting process for you as part of the design build service.
Can you remove a wall to open up my kitchen?
In many cases, yes. Many Charlotte homes, especially older ones, were built with closed off kitchens. We evaluate which walls are load bearing and design a solution, often including a support beam, to safely open your kitchen to adjoining spaces.
Can you remodel a kitchen in an older or historic Charlotte home?
Yes. We regularly work in Charlotte's older neighborhoods, including homes in historic districts with design review requirements. We are familiar with the guidelines and can navigate approvals while still delivering a modern, functional kitchen.
Do you handle both design and construction?
Yes. DGK Design & Build is a full design build firm, meaning the same team handles your design, material selection, and construction from start to finish, so you are not coordinating between separate designers and contractors.
