01 / YOUR HOME, CONSIDERED

Start with what gets in the way.

An island that interrupts the room. A peninsula that closes you in. Appliances and storage that make everyday tasks harder. Tell us what you would change—and what you love enough to keep. We consider the kitchen and its connections to the rest of your home together.

02 / YOUR HOME, CONSIDERED

Kitchen design and construction, together.

Cabinetry, work surfaces, appliance locations, lighting and seating affect one another. Your design needs to account for existing floors, walls and building systems as well as the finishes you see. We help bring those details into focus before the scope is finalized.

03 / YOUR HOME, CONSIDERED

Make room for your own point of view.

Custom is the path for a personalized kitchen, including projects that need a different layout or structural changes. Explore material choices with your designer and discuss how your priorities affect the scope and investment.

Rea Forest

Kitchen remodel · Charlotte

↗

At Rea Forest in South Charlotte, an awkward angled peninsula shaped the kitchen plan. The concrete slab and existing tile also influenced how the proposed changes could meet the rest of the home. Cabinetry, finishes and plumbing were considered together.

Brentfield

Kitchen remodel · Huntersville

↗

At Brentfield in Huntersville, the kitchen and living room needed a different connection. MUSE raised the sunken living-room floor to meet the kitchen, reorganized the pantry wall and relocated appliances. The finished space pairs a larger working island with charcoal cabinetry and a marble-and-brass backsplash.

When the kitchen is part of a larger renovation

Our Sherrills Ford lakehouse shows a kitchen moved into the former dining area as part of a broader layout change. At Hardin in Dallas, kitchen and living-space planning also connected to structural work, a laundry relocation and bathrooms. In Waxhaw’s Astrid Court kitchen, openings, utility locations and pantry storage belonged in the same plan. These projects illustrate MUSE’s design-build work across Greater Charlotte.

Planning your kitchen remodel.

What does design-build mean for my kitchen remodel?

Design-build brings kitchen design and construction planning into one coordinated process. Layout, selections and construction requirements are considered together, so decisions about the room can be connected to the scope and budget. Learn how MUSE works as a design-build remodeling general contractor, or explore our design, planning and construction phases.

Can we keep parts of our existing kitchen?

Yes, retaining features can be part of the design conversation. We need to understand their condition and how new work will meet existing flooring, windows, trim or adjacent rooms.

How do we choose between MUSE Custom and MUSE Essentials?

MUSE Custom is the path to explore for a personalized kitchen, including projects that need a different layout or structural changes. If your general footprint and major appliance locations already work, MUSE Essentials may be a good fit: a focused kitchen scope with curated selections. The kitchen layout planning guide can help you compare the two paths.

How much does a kitchen remodel in Charlotte cost?

The investment depends on what changes: the layout, cabinetry and finishes, plus plumbing, electrical work, flooring and any structural work. MUSE develops a custom kitchen budget around your home and proposed scope. If you can keep the existing layout and avoid major structural changes, Essentials offers a more focused path. Compare kitchen scopes and prepare for a budget conversation.

Can MUSE open the kitchen to an adjoining room?

That depends on your home, its structure and the scope. Design and construction planning need to consider how the rooms connect and what the existing building can support. In Flavor Fusion, MUSE transformed a closed-off kitchen with a larger structural opening and custom storage, expanding the opening while preserving the header. Explore the case study to see that project’s design decisions.

How do we start planning a Charlotte kitchen remodel?

Tell us about your project, then choose a discovery-call time. Photos of your kitchen and adjoining rooms, your must-haves and an investment range help us discuss project fit. Submitting your inquiry and booking a call are separate steps. You can send your inquiry before choosing a discovery-call time.

How long does a custom kitchen remodel take?

The schedule depends on the scope, design decisions, product availability and the work in your home. A kitchen that keeps its layout needs a different plan from one that changes walls, utilities or adjoining rooms. Our design, ordering and construction phases explain what happens before demolition; discuss temporary cooking arrangements and planned utility interruptions during planning.
