Luxury Kitchen Renovations.
The kitchen is the most-renovated room in any home and the one that pays back most clearly in resale. Forest Heart Builders rebuilds kitchens to the same standard as a new-construction custom-home kitchen, with cabinetry built in our own shop, appliances integrated invisibly, and the kind of detail that production kitchens cannot deliver.
What a Forest Heart Kitchen Renovation Includes
- Custom inset hardwood cabinetry built in our own shop, finished with the 22-step finish system.
- Integrated appliances from Sub-Zero, Wolf, Miele, Thermador, Gaggenau, La Cornue, and BlueStar.
- Quartzite, marble, or honed-stone countertops slab selection coordinated with the client.
- Custom range hoods built in-house plaster, paneled, or hammered-metal.
- Lighting designed by the lighting designer, not bought from the lighting catalog Visual Comfort, Hudson Valley, and architectural integration.
- Plumbing fixtures from House of Rohl, Waterworks, Brizo, and Newport Brass.
FAQ Kitchen Renovations
What is the price range for a Forest Heart kitchen renovation?
Forest Heart kitchen renovations typically begin in the upper-five-figure range for compact kitchens and run into the mid-six-figures for primary kitchens with paneled appliances, custom hood surrounds, butler’s pantries, and full appliance suites. Pricing is project-specific.
What is the difference between custom and semi-custom cabinetry?
Custom cabinetry Forest Heart’s standard is built to your kitchen’s exact dimensions, in any wood species, in any finish, with any joinery. Semi-custom is built from a manufacturer’s stock door styles and box sizes with modifications. The difference is most visible at transitions where cabinetry meets walls, ceilings, and appliances and in the joinery.
Do you do kitchen-only projects, or only as part of larger renovations?
Both. Kitchen-only renovations are a meaningful portion of the Forest Heart practice. Often the kitchen becomes the entry point to a larger conversation but the kitchen project stands on its own.
