Your kitchen is the room you use most, and the one that adds the most value when it's done right. Remodel CLT has remodeled kitchens across Charlotte since 2019. Mary Bolous, our Project Manager, starts with your ideas, needs and budget.

Featured Project: Open-Concept Kitchen in Stonehaven
This late-'70s Stonehaven home had a closed-off kitchen with dated maple cabinets and a wall separating it from the den. We removed the wall and installed sage green and white shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, a handmade-look tile backsplash, recessed lighting and new flooring. The result is an open, bright kitchen that connects to the rest of the house.
★★★★★ "Mary, Richard, and the team did an amazing job on our kitchen renovation. They showed up every day and got the job done quickly and beautifully. They worked with us to deliver our dream kitchen within our budget and we could not be happier. They removed walls, installed all new counters and cabinets, installed lighting, and finished it off with new floors and backsplash." — Charlotte C., Stonehaven · Rated "Great price" on Google
