Kitchen Styles

Six directions we build most often, with an honest note on what each one costs and who it suits.

Classic White Shaker

The most requested kitchen in Florida, and the safest choice if resale is anywhere in your thinking.

  • Five piece or slab shaker doors
  • Bright, neutral and timeless
  • Pairs with almost any countertop
  • Strongest resale appeal
  • Easiest to update later with hardware
  • Available across all budget levels

Modern Two Tone

Darker base cabinets with lighter uppers. Visually grounds the room and hides the wear that base cabinets take.

  • Contrasting base and upper cabinets
  • Flat panel or slab doors
  • Minimal or integrated hardware
  • Works well with waterfall islands
  • Hides scuffing on lower cabinets
  • Popular in newer construction

Warm Wood & Natural

Stained oak, walnut and natural tones with matte finishes. The clearest move away from all white kitchens.

  • Stained oak, walnut and rift cut options
  • Matte and low sheen finishes
  • Warmer and softer than painted white
  • Shows grain and character
  • Pairs with quartz that has movement
  • Excellent for open plan spaces

Transitional

The middle ground. Enough detail to feel finished without committing to traditional or fully modern.

  • Simple raised or recessed panel doors
  • Neutral painted finishes
  • Mixed metal hardware
  • Broad appeal across buyers
  • Works in almost any home age
  • The most flexible starting point

Coastal & Light

Built for Florida light. Soft whites, sand tones, pale blues and finishes that hold up near the water.

  • Light painted and washed finishes
  • Sand, sea glass and soft blue accents
  • Glass front upper cabinets
  • Moisture resistant construction
  • Bright under natural light
  • Popular in waterfront properties

Traditional

Detailed door profiles, applied moulding and furniture style islands for homes where the architecture calls for it.

  • Raised panel and mitred door styles
  • Applied moulding and corbels
  • Furniture style island detailing
  • Glazed and distressed finishes
  • Crown moulding stacked to ceiling
  • Suits older and custom homes

Not sure which direction is right? That is exactly what the free consultation is for. We will bring samples and talk through what suits the house, the light and the budget.

Choosing

What actually drives the cost of a style

Homeowners often assume the look they want is the expensive part. Usually it is not the style itself but a handful of construction decisions hiding inside it.

  • Door construction. A five piece shaker door costs more to build than a slab, and a mitred raised panel costs more again.
  • Finish type. Painted finishes cost more than stained on the same box, because they show every imperfection and need more prep.
  • Custom colors. Standard factory colors are dramatically cheaper than a custom match, and the difference is rarely visible in the finished room.
  • Glass and detail. Glass fronts, applied mouldings, corbels and stacked crown all add real labor.
  • Two tone. Two finishes means two production runs, which typically adds 8 to 15 percent.
  • Hardware. Handles range from a few dollars to over sixty each. Across a kitchen that is a meaningful line.

Feedback

What clients say

"They quoted three versions and talked us out of the most expensive one. The middle option was exactly right and we put the difference into appliances."

Homeowner, Valrico

"Refacing took five days. Our neighbors think we replaced the whole kitchen."

Homeowner, Riverview

"The pull outs and the pantry system changed how we cook more than the new counters did."
