Serving St. Louis Since 1985
In a city as small and residential as Glendale, the kitchen is rarely the biggest room in the house — but it's almost always the busiest. The early-to-mid-century homes here came with kitchens sized for a different era: enough room to cook, but short on the storage, counter space, and flow a household actually wants today. A full remodel is the chance to fix all of that within the home's real footprint.
We don't approach a Glendale kitchen by assuming bigger is better. The goal is smarter: a layout that lets two people work without bumping elbows, storage that finally has a place for everything, and — where the home allows — borrowing a bit of space from an adjacent room or chimney chase to relieve a pinch point. A full remodel makes sense when the layout truly fights you or the cabinets are past saving; when it doesn't, we'll say so.
Everything — the cabinetry, any built-ins, the finish carpentry — is designed and built by hand in our own shop, and we coordinate trusted trades for plumbing, electrical, flooring, and countertops. In a close-knit community where word gets around, we run a clean, considerate job site from first day to last.

What's Included in a Glendale Kitchen Remodel
A Layout That Fits the Footprint
We design around the space you have, not the space you wish you had — reworking the work triangle, reclaiming dead corners, and, where it's possible, opening a wall or pinch point to make a modest kitchen feel and function bigger.
Cabinetry Built to the Inch
In a smaller kitchen, stock sizes waste space. Every cabinet is built to your exact dimensions in our shop, with interior fittings, roll-outs, and dividers tailored to what you actually keep.
Storage That Punches Above Its Size
Tall pantry pull-outs, toe-kick drawers, corner solutions, and full-extension hardware are how a compact Glendale kitchen ends up holding more than the larger one down the street.
Right-Sized Islands and Seating
Not every Glendale kitchen has room for a full island — sometimes a peninsula or a slim prep counter is the smarter move. We design seating and prep space that fits without choking the walkways.
Appliances That Fit the Scale
We help you choose and integrate appliances sized for the room — counter-depth and panel-ready options, custom hood surrounds, and built-ins detailed so they don't overwhelm a smaller space.
Built, Finished, and Coordinated by Us
All cabinetry is finished in our shop and installed by our own crew, and we coordinate the electrician, plumber, and countertop fabricator so you have one team accountable for the whole project.

Why Glendale Families Choose Us for Kitchen Remodels
Specialists in Making Space Count
A great big kitchen is easy. Getting a modest Glendale kitchen to feel generous takes design discipline — and that's exactly the problem we most enjoy solving.
A Good Name in a Small Town
Glendale is tight-knit, and our work here spreads by word of mouth. That keeps us honest, tidy, and easy to deal with — your neighbors are watching, and so are we.
Hand-Built in Our Shop
Every cabinet and built-in is made to measure in our St. Louis workshop. No catalog boxes forcing compromises in a room that can't afford wasted inches.
One Team, Start to Finish
You deal with the same person from first visit through final walkthrough, and we coordinate the trades — so a remodel in a small home doesn't turn into a parade of strangers.
Considerate on a Tight Lot
Glendale's homes sit close together. We plan deliveries, debris, and daily cleanup with the neighbors in mind, and keep the on-site phase as short as the project allows.
How a Glendale Kitchen Remodel Works
- 01
We Visit and Listen
We come to your Glendale home, measure carefully, and talk through how you really use the kitchen and what frustrates you about it. In an older, compact home, this is also where we scout the structural and mechanical realities that decide what's possible.
- 02
We Design Around the Space
We develop a layout that wrings the most out of the footprint, then specify every door style, wood, finish, hardware choice, and storage fitting. You see it all and weigh in before anything is built.
- 03
We Build It (6–8 Weeks)
Your cabinetry is built by hand at our shop while your kitchen stays intact. You're welcome to stop by and watch it take shape — it's a short drive and a satisfying one.
- 04
We Install and Coordinate (2–3 Weeks)
On-site work runs about 2–3 weeks, with the countertop template, appliances, plumbing, and electrical all coordinated. We stay until every detail is finished and you've signed off.
A Word from Our Clients
Dave was very courteous and did an amazing job on my kitchen. The transformation of the cabinets was night and day, and he was very patient with all of our decisions. He made a dull kitchen into our dream kitchen. His team worked hard, took care with their craft, and cleaned up every time. This is craftsmanship at its best.
Designing a Bigger-Feeling Kitchen in a Small Home
The defining challenge of a Glendale kitchen remodel is rarely budget for square footage — it's ingenuity within square footage. We spend real design time on the moves that make a modest kitchen feel open: trimming a bulkhead, taking cabinetry to the ceiling, choosing light and reflective finishes, and pulling every bit of dead space into service. Done well, a remodeled Glendale kitchen feels far larger than its dimensions suggest.
We also weigh whether a small structural change is worth it. Sometimes relocating a doorway, removing a non-bearing wall to a dining room, or capturing an unused closet completely changes how the kitchen lives. We'll lay out those options honestly — including when the simpler, layout-only remodel is the smarter spend — so the plan fits both your home and how long you intend to stay in it.

Our name is on every piece we build.
Every project runs through our own shop, our own finishers, and our own install crew — no subcontractors, no handoffs, no catalog cabinets arriving in a box. The cabinetry you approve on paper is the cabinetry that arrives at your door. And we've been easy to find since 1985 — still are.
Frequently Asked Questions
Usually, yes — and it's our specialty here. Taking cabinetry to the ceiling, removing a bulkhead, choosing lighter finishes, and reclaiming dead corners can make a compact kitchen feel dramatically more open. Where the home allows, removing a non-bearing wall or relocating a doorway opens it up further. We'll show you which moves give the most impact for your specific home.
It depends on your goals. If you're happy with the layout and the boxes are sound, refacing is the smarter, less disruptive choice. A full remodel earns its keep when the layout genuinely fights you, the cabinets are failing, or you want to change the footprint. We'll give you an honest read at the consultation rather than push the larger project.
Most run 10–14 weeks from design approval to final walkthrough: 2–3 weeks to finalize design, 6–8 weeks for the cabinet build, and 2–3 weeks on-site. The shorter on-site window matters in a close-together neighborhood, and we work to keep it tight.
We keep it contained. Cabinets are built off-site, so the noisy, dusty work is minimal, and we plan deliveries, dumpsters, and parking with your neighbors in mind. In a community Glendale's size, being a good guest on the street is part of the job.
Yes. We manage the cabinetry build and installation and coordinate trusted partners for demo, plumbing, electrical, flooring, and countertops — so you have a single point of contact rather than a stack of separate contractors to juggle.
