Kitchen Remodeling Built for Smyrna Homes

Smyrna is two housing markets at once. Around the historic downtown and Commerce Street you have late-1800s and early-1900s homes with small back kitchens, tall ceilings, and additions layered over a century. Out along Route 13 and the newer developments toward Duck Creek you have twenty-year-old and newer builds with open plans and stock cabinetry.

In the older homes we're usually annexing a back porch or pantry to get a workable footprint, leveling floors that have moved, and building cabinetry that reads period-appropriate while functioning like a modern kitchen, inset doors, a farmhouse sink, a real range with an exterior-vented hood. In the newer ones the work is straightforward upgrade: island reconfiguration, plywood-box full-overlay cabinetry, stone counters, and lighting. Smyrna is about forty minutes from our Newark shop, and we run full-day crews there.

Smyrna kitchen permits run through the town, and for homes near the historic district we schedule the work so the street-facing character is untouched. In the older farmhouses we also check the panel early, since a century of additions often leaves the kitchen sharing a circuit with everything else.
