  • Suburban Kitchen & Bath Remodel Planning: Storage, Lighting, and Layout Upgrades That Matter

In the Huntingdon Valley area, homeowners want remodels that do more than look nice—they want spaces that feel easier to live in every day. If you’re in Huntingdon Valley, Elkins Park, Jenkintown, or Abington, the biggest wins usually come from layout, storage, and lighting—not just new finishes.

Step 1: Plan the “Daily Use” Layout

For kitchens:

  • Create landing zones near the fridge and stove
  • Add prep space where you actually cook
  • Improve traffic flow for families and guests
    For bathrooms:
  • Plan clear entry space, towel storage, and mirror lighting
  • Decide if you want a walk-in shower, tub, or both

Step 2: Choose Cabinets and Vanities That Fix Storage Problems

Smart storage beats bigger rooms. Consider:

  • Deep drawers instead of lower cabinets
  • Pantry pull-outs and corner solutions
  • Medicine cabinets and vanity organizers
  • Linen storage that keeps counters clear

Step 3: Tile + Waterproofing Done Right

Bathrooms succeed or fail in the “invisible” layer:

  • Proper waterproofing systems
  • Correct slope and drain placement
  • Clean transitions and sealed corners
  • Ventilation planning to prevent moisture damage

Step 4: Lighting Changes Everything

A remodel can feel brand new with:

  • Under-cabinet lighting in kitchens
  • Vanity lighting that eliminates shadows
  • Warm, consistent color temperature choices
  • Better switches and placement

What We Typically Build

  • Full kitchen remodels (layout, cabinets, counters, backsplash tile)
  • Bathroom renovations (tile showers, tubs, waterproofing, ventilation)
  • Flooring and tile installation
  • Drywall, paint, trim, and finish carpentry
  • Project coordination that keeps timelines clean

If you want a remodel that feels brighter, cleaner, and easier to maintain—planning is the real upgrade.
