Modern Colonial Kitchen

Lexington, Massachusetts

Kitchen Remodeling

We achieved much better function for cooking and storage as well as bringing more natural light and updated lighting to the kitchen.

The old layout was a struggle with fragmented storage spread out around the kitchen. It was difficult for two people to be in the kitchen at the same time and it didn’t flow well when cooking as the island was positioned as an obstacle on one end near the stove.

The ceilings are high, and original wall cabinets were low with a soffit above them and this made the kitchen look dated. The new wall cabinets include transom cabinets and take full advantage of the high ceiling. By reconfiguring a soffit over the windows, we were able to include a transom window that brings more light into the kitchen.

The client was careful about making decisions and took a long time to go through our process because any other project they hired someone to do in the past felt too rushed and they always had regrets and buyer's remorse after. We took our time and it was well worth it.

The cabinets are Plato cabinets, full inset. The island top and wall inset behind the stove are special features-the stone is Blue Fusion Quartzite while the perimeter Silestone Tebas Black.

The new space is more beautiful, bright and has high function for the client's lifestyle in the kitchen.

Top-Notch Outfit Blackdog is a top notch outfit... we had a major renovation at our home.

Integrity, professionalism and craftsmanship If you're looking for a truly full-service contractor, I cannot recommend Blackdog Builders highly enough! Blackdog is the perfect combination of integrity, professionalism, and craftsmanship. Susan S. North Andover, MA
VERY happy with the result! This was a complete kitchen overhaul — strip back to the studs and start new. Blackdog did the design and build. On the whole, we had a very good experience with Blackdog. The work was finished within the proposed cost, and the three-month schedule was kept — work went over… David K. Boxford, MA
We had shopped around for a while, talking with other contractors and design services before landing on Blackdog for their full service capability under one roof for our garage and primary bedroom suite addition. We have a 100 year old house and it was of the utmost importance that not… Nichole H.
