A kitchen remodel in Wilmington NC transforms outdated kitchens through custom cabinetry installation, countertop replacement, fixture upgrades, and layout optimization. Professional remodelers handle design planning, permit acquisition, demolition, electrical and plumbing work, material installation, and final inspections. Homeowners gain improved functionality, increased home value, and modernized aesthetics that match their lifestyle needs and design preferences.
Your kitchen should be more than just functional—it should be a space where your family actually wants to gather. But if you're avoiding cooking because your cabinets won't close properly, or you're embarrassed to have guests over because everything looks dated, it's time for a change.
At Swanson Construction and Development, Inc., we've been transforming kitchens across Wilmington NC into spaces homeowners are proud to show off. Whether you're dealing with worn-out cabinets, outdated countertops, or a layout that just doesn't work anymore, we'll help you create a kitchen that fits how you actually live. Ready to get started? Call us at 910-443-4113 for a free consultation.
Why Choose Swanson Construction for Your Kitchen Remodel in Wilmington NC?
Here's the thing—not all kitchen remodeling companies are created equal. We've heard too many stories from homeowners who hired someone who disappeared mid-project or left them with subpar work.
That's not how we operate.
Swanson Construction brings decades of construction expertise to every kitchen remodel in Wilmington NC. We're not a fly-by-night operation. We're licensed, insured, and we've built our reputation on delivering quality work that lasts—especially important in Wilmington's coastal climate where humidity and salt air can wreak havoc on poor-quality materials.
What sets us apart:
Local Knowledge That Matters
We understand Wilmington. We know which materials hold up best in our humid coastal environment. We know the permitting process. We know local suppliers. This isn't theoretical knowledge—we've been working in this area long enough to know what works and what doesn't.
Transparent Communication
You'll never wonder what's happening with your project. We keep you informed every step of the way, from initial design through final walkthrough. No surprises, no excuses.
Quality Craftsmanship
Our team takes pride in their work. We don't cut corners, and we don't rush jobs just to move on to the next one. When we're done, you're getting a kitchen built to last.
Competitive Pricing
Quality work doesn't have to break the bank. We provide detailed estimates upfront so you know exactly what you're paying for.
Comprehensive Service
From design to demolition to installation, we handle everything. You don't need to coordinate with multiple contractors—we've got it covered.
What's Included in Our Kitchen Remodel Services
A kitchen remodel with Swanson Construction isn't one-size-fits-all. We tailor every project to your specific needs, budget, and vision. Here's what we can do:
Custom Cabinetry & Refacing
Whether you need brand-new cabinets or want to give your existing ones a fresh look, we offer both custom cabinet installation and cabinet refacing options. We'll help you maximize storage and create a layout that actually makes sense for how you cook.
Countertop Installation
Granite, quartz, marble—whatever surface you're dreaming of, we can install it. We work with quality materials that stand up to daily use and look great for years.
Complete Kitchen Renovations
Sometimes you need more than new cabinets. We handle full-scale renovations including layout changes, new flooring, upgraded lighting, plumbing modifications, and electrical work.
Backsplash Installation
The right backsplash ties everything together. We install tile, stone, and other materials that protect your walls while adding visual interest.
Appliance Installation
New appliances need proper installation. We ensure everything is correctly installed and fully functional.
Lighting Upgrades
Good lighting transforms a kitchen. We install everything from under-cabinet lighting to pendant lights over islands.
Flooring Installation
Durable, attractive flooring that holds up to spills, foot traffic, and everything else your kitchen endures.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Process
We've refined our process over the years to make your kitchen remodel as smooth as possible. Here's how it works:
1. Free Consultation & Design
We start by listening. What do you love about your current kitchen? What drives you crazy? What's your budget? We'll visit your home, take measurements, and discuss your vision. This is where we figure out if you need a simple update or a complete overhaul.
2. Detailed Estimate & Planning
No vague "ballpark figures" here. You'll get a detailed, written estimate that breaks down exactly what you're paying for. We'll also establish a timeline so you know what to expect.
3. Demolition & Prep Work
Once you approve the plan, we carefully remove old cabinets, countertops, and fixtures. We protect the rest of your home from dust and debris because we know you're still living there.
4. Installation & Construction
This is where your new kitchen takes shape. We install cabinets, countertops, backsplash, flooring, lighting, and appliances. Our skilled team works efficiently while maintaining high quality standards.
5. Final Walkthrough
We don't consider the job done until you're completely satisfied. We'll walk through everything with you, address any concerns, and make sure every detail is perfect.
Most kitchen remodels take 3-8 weeks depending on the scope, though we'll give you a more specific timeline during your consultation.
Benefits of a Professional Kitchen Remodel
Why invest in a professional kitchen remodel? Because the payoff goes way beyond aesthetics. For comprehensive design inspiration and planning tips, explore our kitchen and bath design guide.
Increased home value
Kitchen remodels typically return 60-80% of their cost when you sell. In Wilmington's competitive real estate market, an updated kitchen can be the difference between sitting on the market and receiving multiple offers.
Better functionality
Smart layout changes and increased storage mean less frustration every time you cook. No more bumping into each other or searching through cluttered cabinets.
Energy efficiency
New appliances and LED lighting can significantly reduce your energy bills. Over time, these savings add up.
Improved safety
Old wiring, gas lines, and plumbing can be hazards. A remodel brings everything up to current code.
More enjoyment of your home
You use your kitchen every single day. Making it a space you actually enjoy is worth the investment.
Better for entertaining
An updated kitchen with an open layout makes hosting friends and family so much easier.
Personalization
Finally get the kitchen that matches your style and needs instead of living with someone else's choices.
