Kevin is on site at a kitchen remodel in Hicksville, and the new exposed beams are now set over the main cooking and gathering space.
The solid wood beams run across the ceiling where the old closed-in kitchen used to stop at the dining room wall, giving the room the open feel the homeowner wanted while keeping the structure exactly where it needs to be. Recessed lighting is wired and in place between the beams, and the white shaker cabinetry is starting to go up along the back wall. The cabinet boxes are being leveled and secured before the crown molding and trim details tie everything together at the ceiling line.
Projects like this are where Kevin's background matters most. He handled the structural side of opening this space first, checking load paths before anything came down, and now the same hands are on the finish carpentry. That combination is what separates a kitchen remodeling contractor who also does real carpentry work from one who subs every detail out.
Still a work in progress here, but the room is taking shape fast heading into fall. Kevin offers a free in-home assessment for kitchens like this one.
