Project Overview

Winterlochen Kitchen Remodel

This Raleigh kitchen remodeling project was an exciting journey that transformed a cramped, outdated kitchen into a sleek, modern space perfect for everyday living and entertaining. Our team collaborated closely with the clients to fully understand their needs, vision, and preferences.

As a design-build company, we prioritized creating a plan that was both functional and budget-friendly, considering numerous variables to ensure the best outcome. The result is a warm and inviting kitchen that our clients will cherish for years to come.

Project Onboarding

Welcoming to Oak City Homes

For this Raleigh kitchen remodeling project, our adventure kicked off with a throrough understanding of the customer's pain points and needs. Our clients had a clear vision: a space they could entertain friends and family without feeling crampted and separated. A space that they enjoyed cooking in and spending time in.

From the start, we made it a priority to truly understand their vision and budget. We spent time on-site, getting to know the space and the homeowners' aspirations. By choosing Waypoint cabinetry and sleek quartz countertops, we struck the perfect balance between style and practicality, crafting a modern and cohesive look that reflected their dreams.

The end result was a stunning transformation that not only matched the designs but also exceeded our clients' expectations. They now have the open, welcoming kitchen they've always wanted, a space where they can enjoy daily life and entertain with pride for years to come!
