Charlotte Kitchen Remodeling Project Concludes Before the Holidays!

We have remodeled and built literally hundreds of kitchens since 1978!  We thoroughly enjoy working with our clients and their kitchen remodels and upgrades because so much time is spent in these central hubs of every home.

Kitchen remodels and upgrades are totally custom and based on the desires of each client.  There are so many different styles of kitchens with everything from contemporary to traditional to French country to Shaker style.

The photos on this page are from a recent kitchen remodel in Charlotte where the client wanted some contemporary touches in their kitchen remodel.  The granite counter tops and work surfaces are the real star of this Charlotte kitchen remodeling project.  Absolutely beautiful kitchen granite work.

The contemporary and energy-saving “green” appliance package makes a wonderful decorating and functional accent.  The matching stainless appliances add a flair of class with the flow of the new kitchen remodel design.

We really like the beautiful range hood over the counter top stove top.  It is really an elegant statement to this contemporary kitchen remodel.

Did you notice how the salmon-colored paint on the walls is picked up in the granite on the counter tops?  That slight hint of salmon color really gives this kitchen remodel an heir of design and sophistication.

We thought that the segmented archway in the kitchen entry gave the kitchen a great deal of character and style.  The archway is one of our building and remodeling signatures and we really do enjoy building these stylish accents.  The segmented archway is a prominent building and remodeling feature found in homes all over Charlotte, Dilworth and Myers Park kitchens and homes!  We would like to meet with you as you consider remodeling your home’s kitchen or any interior room.

Please call master carpenter and owner Charles Brown at 704-605-9695 or email cbrown@charlotteremodelingcompany.com for a free in-person design and build consultation.  You’ll find us to be experienced, trustworthy, creative, passionate and caring for your home and property!

Charlotte Kitchen Remodeling Trends for 2011!

There are exciting new trends in 2011 for Charlotte homeowners and their kitchen remodeling plans!  The trends that we are seeing develop for 2011 and beyond appear to retain value and are more popular trends across most people’s particular interests, which bodes well for resells!

So let’s look at what we see as the top kitchen remodeling trends for 2011:

Top Charlotte Kitchen Remodeling Trends

1.  Going “Green” is the most trendy kitchen style.  And this “green” is actually the color green.  Although appliance choices are still selected with the environment and energy use in mind, the color green has emerged as the popular trend.  Shaker design (which we love in Charlotte!) is a close second trending choice.

2.  Stainless Steel is the most trendy cabinetry.  Recycled materials, maple, and then birch are the next choices for kitchen cabinetry.

3.  Reclaimed Wood is the most trendy floor.  Reclaimed wood is a great choice for giving your kitchen a warm and inviting feel.  Bamboo (very environmentally popular) and wood floors are second and third.

4.  Engineered Stone is the most trendy counter top  .  Now you get into the discussion of whether Corian or Silestone is the better choice.  We’ll let you make that decision!  Concrete was second and granite was the third choice in this trend.

5.  Pullout Spray Style is the most trendy faucet.  Second was stainless steel and third was the single-handle faucet. 

6.  Metal is the most trendy refrigeration.  By far, metal is the top trending choice in kitchen appliances.  It’s the designer look of metal that is most appealing.

7.  Induction Cook top is the most trendy cooking option.  Gas was second and the wall oven was trending in third place.

8.  Table as Island is the most trendy kitchen island.  A cooking center was second and a standard kitchen island was trending third.  The “table as island” is a great way to bring the family together in the center of the kitchen cooking action!

We have deep, extended experience in remodeling and building kitchens of all types, sizes and budgets.  Please call the Charlotte Remodeling Company and Charles Brown at 704-605-9695 for a free in-person consultation about your kitchen remodeling project!

Charlotte Kitchen Remodeling & Charlotte Jack and Jill Bathroom Remodeling Projects!

By far, the most popular rooms in any house to remodel are the kitchen and bathroom.  And if you really think about it, these two rooms contain most of your home’s unique comforts and conveniences!

A really popular remodeling trend we are seeing today is the transformation of old closet space and an existing smaller bathroom  into Jack-and-Jill type bathrooms.  These bathrooms are usually connected on both ends to smaller bedrooms. 

The Jack-and-Jill bathroom is very popular with young families who have children who need to share a bathroom, and the connecting feature of the bathroom to both rooms is ideal!  Not to mention the potential return on investment when it comes time to sell your home down the road.

Lots of common Jack and Jill bathroom designs feature a double bathroom vanity. This kind of bathroom vanity includes two sinks, which means that more than one person can use the sink area at the same time. Many of these bathrooms are set up as “couple’s bathrooms” with separate storage spaces for each member of the couple, as well as separate towel racks for monogrammed or color coded towels.

Turning an existing bathroom into a connecting jack-and-jill style bathroom is a great project!  There are many new bath fixtures and options to privacy now available in this jack-and-jill style of bathroom.  If you are thinking about remodeling an existing bathroom, or adding a new one, please call Charles Brown at 704-605-9695 or email him at cbrown@charlotteremodelingcompany.com for a free in-home consultation and estimate!
