Cabinetry is the heartbeat of your home. It sets the pace for style, color, and functional aspects of your lifestyle. There are traditional and trendy designs available with unique paint colors and stain selections. We always suggest walking the models and noting features in the kitchen.

COUNTERTOP SELECTIONS
Countertops add the perfect accent to your cabinet choices with unique options in both granite and quartz. Each material has its specific functional aspects in style. You will select your countertops for the kitchen and baths, along with an edge style.
Granite is a natural product and every slap cut for your home has unique character. The natural properties can be more refined or very exotic. A small sample cannot fully represent all the natural characteristics and variations that a fully installed kitchen may contain.
Quartz selections are engineered and offer the appearance of natural stone materials in a consistent manner.

KITCHEN BACKSPLASH SELECTIONS
Your home will receive a tiled backsplash in the kitchen. There are many tiles and stone selections that enhance your style. It is also very important to pick a selection that is functional for your lifestyle. Some backsplash material is more prone to stains and cleaning challenges, so be sure to think that through before your design appointment. There are small mosaic patterns, tiles with patterns, and larger tiles which can be laid square, staggered, or on the diagonal. There are many selections to take into consideration and your designer will help you achieve your style and preference.

Sink selections are all undermount style, which means the sink is installed below the countertop. Sink material type is important in satisfying needs for durability, functionality, and aesthetics to match your lifestyle and expectations.

FLOORING SELECTIONS
Flooring plays a very large role in the durability and beauty of a home. There are many opportunities to personalize your flooring using different materials, styles, color, and locations.

Tile, Wood, or Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring are hard surfaces, and are typically best in high traffic areas.
Carpet is normally chosen in the bedrooms and on the stairs.
