Custom Cabinets Built for Historic Spaces
Older houses often have uneven stone floors and settling walls that make store-bought cabinets look crooked. We build custom wood cabinets that fit your exact walls from floor to ceiling. As part of our full-scale kitchen renovations, we update your layout to improve the workspace between your sink, stove, and fridge.
- Fitted Storage: Built-in spice racks, deep pot drawers, and clever corner pull-outs make every inch count.
- Tough Countertops: Solid quartz surfaces resist stains and heat without needing harsh chemical sealants.
- Reliable Power: New electrical panels safely run modern cooktops and heavy-duty appliances without tripping breakers.
- Neat Work Areas: We use heavy plastic barriers and floor runners to keep dust and debris out of your living space during construction.
How We Create an Open Kitchen Layout
Many historic properties in Lisbon MD feature formal, divided floor plans with heavy partitions that completely isolate the kitchen from the rest of the main living space. Bringing these compartmentalized rooms into the modern era requires precision engineering and strict adherence to structural safety standards, especially when dealing with load-bearing walls that hold up the upper levels of your house.
- Strong Temporary Support: Before we start any demolition, our licensed builders put up sturdy temporary support walls across your main floor to safely hold up the weight from the upper levels.
- Careful Wall Removal: We slowly and systematically take out the old framing, making sure we do not cause any unnecessary damage to your surrounding ceilings, floors, or historic woodwork.
- Flush Beam Installation: We put in a strong engineered steel or wood beam, tucking it completely hidden inside your ceiling framing so you get a smooth, flat ceiling surface overhead.
- Open and Connected Living: This careful process turns dark, separate rooms into a bright, open living space while keeping your entire house completely safe and secure.
Upgrading Outdated Wiring and Old Plumbing
Older houses often have old utility setups that cannot safely handle modern, heavy-duty appliances. Our team updates your hidden lines to support your daily cooking power needs without electrical or plumbing trouble. We check every single connection to keep your home completely safe.
- Electrical Panel Upgrades: We replace old breaker panels to ensure adequate electrical current flows into your home, capable of supporting your new cooktops, double ovens, and beverage refrigerators.
- Separate Electrical Wiring: We install dedicated electrical wires for your big kitchen appliances to avoid breaker trips and voltage spikes, and provide consistent, reliable service.
- Replace Old Pipes: We remove your old steel pipes, which slow the water flow and collect minerals, replacing them with current copper or PEX pipes.
- Clean Water Pressure: We ensure you get steady water flow throughout your kitchen with plumbing upgrades to safeguard your property against costly water leaks.
Organizing Your Kitchen with Custom Storage
Factory-made cabinets leave awkward gaps, require extra filler boards, and waste space in old homes with sloped walls and uneven ceilings. We make cabinets that match the exact measurements of your unique space.
- Floor-to-Ceiling Cabinets: Each cabinet made for you goes all the way to your ceiling, providing no place for dust to settle on the top and offering additional storage space.
- Convenient Spice Shelves: Spices kept in handy shelves attached to your cabinets will be right where you need them while you cook.
- Oversized Pull-Outs: Strong drawers installed just below the cooking area will help you avoid any bending and heavy lifting.
- Recycling Shelves: Custom-made pull-out recycling shelves in the lower cabinets free your floor space and eliminate kitchen odors.
