Kitchen remodel in Western NC — design-build under one contract, 2-year warranty

Kitchen remodels are the highest-volume residential renovation category in the US — and the most rewarding to design well in a mountain-home context. The National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) reports kitchen projects represent approximately 29% of all remodeling activity by dollar volume.

In Western NC, a mid-range kitchen remodel (new layout, semi-custom cabinetry, quartz counters, tile backsplash, mid-tier appliance package) runs $60,000-$95,000; a full custom gut-and-reconfigure with structural wall removal, premium soapstone counters, and high-end appliances reaches $100,000-$160,000. Cosmetic refresh projects (cabinet refinishing, new counters, new appliances, no structural work) run $30,000-$55,000.

Our process: in-home consult to walk the space; 3D rendering and material board within 2-3 weeks; written estimate with scope options; permit pull and construction schedule confirmation; 10-22 week construction window depending on scope; final walkthrough and 2-year craftsmanship warranty registration. For historic-district projects, HRC approval coordinated by our preservation specialist.

Kitchen Remodel — common questions

How long does a kitchen remodel take?
10-22 weeks depending on scope. Cosmetic refresh (cabinet refinishing, new counters, no structural): 10-12 weeks. Mid-range remodel (semi-custom cabinets, layout unchanged): 12-16 weeks. Full custom gut with wall removal: 16-22 weeks. Historic-district projects add 4-6 weeks for HRC approval cycles.
Can I live in the house during a kitchen remodel?
Yes — most clients stay home. We set up a temporary kitchen (mini-fridge, microwave, coffee setup) in another part of the home. Full kitchen demolition phase (1-2 weeks) is the most disruptive; once cabinets and trades work begins, it is manageable.
Can you preserve historic features (beams, fireplaces, original built-ins)?
Yes — preservation of original features is a StoneRidge specialty. Original chestnut and oak beams, river-rock fireplaces, built-in china cabinets, and period millwork are routinely preserved during kitchen remodels. We coordinate with the Asheville HRC when historic features fall under preservation requirements.
What is the difference between custom, semi-custom, and stock cabinets?
Stock (IKEA, big-box): pre-built sizes, lowest cost. Semi-custom (Diamond, Kraftmaid, Wellborn): pre-built carcass with custom modifications. Custom (local cabinetmaker — our partner is Asheville Cabinet Co): built to exact specifications, highest cost, no compromises. Most WNC mid-range remodels use semi-custom.
