Kitchen Remodeling & Additions
You’ve likely heard the saying that the kitchen is the heart of the house, and that’s true. It’s where we have family meals together and can be a place where you and your family can bond, laugh, and share. But when a kitchen becomes outdated, working in it can become un-enjoyable and sometimes more of a chore. If this is the case, a kitchen remodel may be in order.
At Dream Design Build & Remodeling, we understand that homeowners may wish to remodel or expand their existing kitchens for many reasons. From improving their kitchen’s layout to increasing the square footage of their homes with kitchen additions, we can use our expertise in designing and building the kitchen they have always imagined.

Our expertise in kitchen design and building helps us predict potential issues and design your kitchen around them. Lighting can also impact the overall feel of the environment and is a detail we believe is important in a kitchen remodel.

Kitchen Additions
With a kitchen addition, you can update and expand your kitchen to meet your unique family’s cooking and entertaining needs. Many people today enlarge or add to their kitchens to increase counter or storage space, expand eating areas, improve the aesthetic, achieve better lighting, or update the appliances. Some popular trends in kitchen remodeling include stone countertops, double sinks, under-cabinet lighting, beautiful tile and stone backsplashes, and functional islands. Everyone has unique style preferences, and each family has its own unique needs and will benefit from particular features that align with their design preferences and family dynamics.
At Dream Design Build & Remodeling, Inc, we have the skills and experience to design, construct, and install the kitchen addition of your dreams!
Designing a Kitchen Addition
Gather Inspiration and Materials
To gather inspiration, you can browse through online images of completed kitchen expansions or peruse remodeling magazines. Collecting pictures that resonate with you will enhance your ability to visualize your desired kitchen design and effectively communicate your ideas and preferences to your designer. The more detailed and polished your ideas become, the smoother the collaboration with a designer will be in creating a tailored kitchen design.
In addition to coming up with design ideas, you should also list the materials you want for your kitchen addition before meeting with your contractor. This list can include specific materials and products and design features such as cabinet types and styles, appliances, flooring, countertop materials, and lighting.
Consider the Size and Location of Your Kitchen Addition
Home additions can be made to the ground floor and the second story of a home, and the building process will differ depending on which floor gets the addition. If you are planning a ground-floor addition, you should determine its dimensions and ensure it will fit within your yard and property. Home remodeling professionals can help you determine if your kitchen addition is within your area’s zoning regulations and obtain the necessary building permits.
Stay Within Your Budget
You should have a good idea of your budget before meeting with a design professional so we can help you create a design within your allotted budget. The average cost of a kitchen addition is much higher than that of a traditional kitchen remodel, so it is important to use your budget effectively.
Creative Ideas for Your Kitchen Addition
Kitchens are the focal point of a home, and nothing makes a kitchen feel better than a warm, inviting design. Whether you’re looking to add an island, new cabinets, or just more counter space, these creative ideas will inspire you:
Breakfast Nooks
If you have a small kitchen, consider adding a breakfast nook. You can find stylish and functional nooks that don’t take up much space, so you won’t have to worry about your kitchen feeling cramped.
Kitchen Islands
Islands are a popular kitchen addition because they provide extra counter space and storage. If your kitchen is small, an island can make a world of difference. You can use it for food prep, as a breakfast bar, or even as a place to put pots and pans. Not to mention, islands are great for entertaining.
New Kitchen Cabinets
Cabinets can make or break a kitchen. If your cabinets are old and outdated, it’s time to upgrade. Installing new cabinets will give your kitchen a fresh, new look and add value to your home. If you plan on selling in the future, new cabinets could be a selling point. Adding a backsplash when you install the new cabinets is also a good idea.
More Counter Space
If you’re short on counter space, consider expanding it. This is a great way to add more prep space to your kitchen. Furthermore, it’ll give you a place to put small appliances and other kitchen essentials. If you have the room, expanding your counter space makes a fantastic addition to your kitchen.
