Kitchen Remodels | K DeWall Construction

Modern kitchen remodel in Minneapolis. — Job site: Minneapolis. Copyright K DeWall Construction.

As arguably one of the most important rooms in your home, a kitchen has several roles: to facilitate the preparation of nourishing food, to provide a cozy spot for entertaining guests, to serve as the gathering place for family meals. A well-designed, well-equipped kitchen with an optimized layout will be the beating heart of your home for years to come.

Reasons to remodel

Simply put, a modern kitchen with an optimized layout and ergonomic design will make meal prep, cooking, cleaning, and food storage easier, more efficient, and more enjoyable. Some of the reasons our clients choose to remodel include the following:

Convert to an open layout, increasing usable space
Increase and maximize storage space in cabinets/pantries
Improve accessibility of stored items
Update to more modern, efficient appliances

There are innumerable options that together add up to increased efficiency. Dead space or blind space in corner cabinets can be called into service by converting to a lazy susan, “Magic Corner” cabinet, or diagonal cabinets. Opening up the kitchen layout can allow for installation of an island, ramping up efficiency and convenience. Cabinets and pantries can be equipped with pull-out shelves, improving access to those hard-to-reach back items, or with “soft-close” doors, eliminating the sudden, unpleasant thunk when cabinet doors are released. Countless innovations intended to optimize efficiency, organization, and functionality combine with smart design to build the kitchen of your dreams.

Step by step

Minneapolis kitchen — Originally styled from the ’50s, we doubled the square footage of this kitchen and gave it a sleek, modern style, including glass door fronts on the center cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, and new modern pendants over the island. For a beautiful contrast, the island was stained dark and the perimeter cabinets given a bright enamel, with a granite island and countertops.

From project design and planning to installation, K DeWall is equipped to handle every aspect of your kitchen remodel. Our 6-step process is designed to ensure your complete satisfaction at every stage, from beginning to completion.

Design. The first step on the road to your dream kitchen is to meet with our designer to discuss your goals and expectations, as well as establishing a budget for the project. We’ll work within these parameters to ensure that any surprises along the way are good ones.
Layout. During this phase we’ll measure the available space and present you with some suitable design layouts, revising as necessary to ensure consistency with your vision.
Selection. Next we’ll narrow down your options for appliances, cabinetry, countertops, and flooring. Once you make your final selections, we’ll source the materials and order the appliances well in advance.
Demo. During the demolition of your existing kitchen, we’ll isolate the work area so you can continue to function as normally as possible with minimal interruption. Dust will be contained with secure plastic sheeting wherever necessary.
Installation. The longest phase, but we’re almost there! We’ll keep you informed of our progress and timeline. We’ll check in periodically about options, including hardware, drawer fronts, door slabs, etc.
Walk-through. On project completion, we’ll do a final walk-through with you, making sure you’re 100% happy with every aspect of the project. We’ll discuss how best to maintain your new kitchen and answer any questions you have.

Recent projects

Maple Grove kitchen before remodel — **Before:** This kitchen in Maple Grove had a style from the ’80s that needed a makeover, including golden oak recessed-panel cabinets, tile over vinyl flooring, a tiffany lamp over the table, and boxed fluorescent ceiling lights that were common during this period.

Maple Grove kitchen after remodel — **After:** We updated the look by changing the cabinetry from oak to enameled, and the appliances from white to stainless steel, also adding an attractive tile backsplash. Ceiling lights were updated to LED recessed cans, as well as a modern iron fixture over the informal dining area. Flooring was updated to our favorite go-to: luxury vinyl plank.

Coon Rapids kitchen before remodel — **Before**: This kitchen in Coon Rapids had a style dating back to the ’70s and was in need of a makeover. The kitchen was crowded and tight on space, and the area near the sink was not well-lit.

Coon Rapids kitchen after remodel — **After:** Our team removed the dated cabinetry and replaced it with enameled, bringing the cabinets up to the ceiling for increased storage. Glass panels were added to the back cabinets, as well as accent lights and under-cabinet lighting to brighten up that space. An island was added for more prep room, and pendants overhead add a splash of color. Old appliances were switched out for stainless steel, including a sleek modern range hood.

Dellwood kitchen before remodel — **Before:** This kitchen in Dellwood was in a ’70s split-level home. The layout was crowded and the design outdated, including vinyl sheet flooring and shutter-style cabinet doors.

Dellwood kitchen after remodel — **After:** Our team removed a wall to give this kitchen the open concept. A little pizzazz was added with a Cambria Bentley quartz backsplash. The dishwasher was changed to a 2-drawer stainless steel to improve efficiency, and the homeowner, who did lots of cooking, requested a deep, farm-style, single-bowl sink, perfect for cleaning large pots. To avoid cutting into the exquisite backsplash, strip outlets were installed under the cabinetry.
