A Kitchen Remodel Built Around Quail Hollow Homes
A kitchen touches everything else in the house. It's where the morning starts, where homework gets done, and where everyone ends up during a party no matter how nice the living room is. In a lot of Quail Hollow homes, though, the kitchen is tucked behind a wall, and whoever is cooking spends the evening facing away from everyone else.
We start by asking how you use the space. Who cooks, and how often? Do you host a crowd during tournament week, or is it mostly weeknight dinners for the family? Where does the mail, the backpack, and the dog leash land when you walk in? Those answers shape the layout before we ever talk about cabinet colors.
Because we're a design-build firm, the same team that designs your kitchen also builds it. Nothing gets lost between a designer's drawing and a contractor's bid, and you have one point of contact the whole way through.
Designing a Kitchen That Fits Your Home and Your Routine
It starts with an intro call. You tell us what's not working, and we give you a realistic range on that first call so you can decide whether to keep going before anyone comes out.
Next, we visit your home in Quail Hollow. We measure, look at what's behind the walls, and figure out which walls are load-bearing, where the plumbing and gas lines run, and whether the electrical panel can handle a modern kitchen. In homes from the 1970s, those answers decide what's possible, so we get them early.
From there, we design layout options. That might mean opening the kitchen to the family room, adding an island, moving the range to a better wall, or turning an unused breakfast nook into a pantry. Every kitchen we design is modeled in 3D, so you can see the cabinet layout, the island, and the light from the windows before construction starts. It's a lot easier to move an island on screen than after the cabinets are in.
Once the design is set, you pick cabinetry, counters, tile, fixtures, and appliances with our team. Then we pull the permits and get to work.
Full Design Build Kitchen Remodeling in Quail Hollow
A Quail Hollow kitchen remodel with DGK covers everything from the first layout sketch to the final backsplash tile.
The most common project we see here is opening a closed kitchen to the family room. That usually means taking out a load-bearing wall and replacing it with a properly engineered beam, so the room opens up without anything sagging later. We also add islands with seating, carve out walk-in or cabinet pantries, build drop zones by the garage door, and add beverage or bar areas for people who like to host.
We take out the old soffits and run cabinetry to the ceiling where the space allows. When the kitchen faces a wooded backyard, we often enlarge the windows or add a door to the deck so the trees become part of the room.
Behind the walls, we bring older homes up to date. That can mean a new electrical panel or added circuits for today's appliances, new plumbing and gas lines when the sink or range moves, and a range hood ducted to the outside. Custom cabinetry, counters, tile, lighting, flooring, and appliance installation are all part of the scope, and we tie new flooring into the rest of the house so the kitchen doesn't look like an island of its own.
What Does a Kitchen Remodel Cost in Quail Hollow?
Scope matters most. Refreshing a kitchen in its current footprint is a very different project than opening it to the family room, moving the sink and range, and adding an island.
The age of your home matters too. A 1970s house may need panel, wiring, or plumbing updates once the walls are open, and we'd rather plan for that from the start than surprise you halfway through.
Cabinetry, counters, and appliances are the other big factors. We give you a realistic range on the first phone call, and our 2026 Pricing Guide shows typical ranges by project type.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Quail Hollow?
It depends on the scope, the cabinetry and finishes you choose, and the condition of your home. Updating a kitchen in its current layout costs far less than opening walls and moving plumbing and gas. We give you a realistic range on the first call, and our 2026 Pricing Guide shows typical ranges by project type.
How long does a kitchen remodel take?
Design and selections usually take several weeks, and construction typically runs a few months depending on scope. Custom cabinetry lead times are often the biggest factor. You'll get a full timeline before construction starts.
Can you remove the wall between my kitchen and family room?
Usually, yes. Many walls in Quail Hollow homes are load-bearing, so we work with a structural engineer to size a beam that carries the load. Sometimes a post or a dropped beam is needed, and you'll see exactly how it looks in 3D before we commit.
Do I need a permit for a kitchen remodel?
Most kitchen remodels that change walls, plumbing, gas, or electrical need Mecklenburg County permits and inspections. DGK handles the entire permitting process for you.
Can we live in the house during a kitchen remodel?
Most families do. We seal off the work area to control dust and help you plan a temporary kitchen setup somewhere else in the house. Your project manager will walk you through what each phase looks like.
Can my new kitchen match the rest of my house?
Yes. We design the cabinetry, trim, and finishes to suit your home's style, and we plan how new flooring meets the existing floors so the kitchen feels connected rather than added on.
Do I have to pick everything before construction starts?
Most selections, yes. Cabinetry, counters, appliances, and fixtures are chosen during design so we can order them on time and keep the schedule moving. Our design team guides you through every selection.
