Kitchen Remodeling in Somerset, MD

Somerset Kitchens: Good Space, Dated Everything

Somerset's homes came up in the late 80s and 90s, and their kitchens have the space families want — but the finishes of the era: honey oak or whitewashed cabinets, speckled laminate or early granite, brass-and-glass light fixtures, and tile counters with grout lines that have seen things. The square footage is there. Everything else is ready for a second act.

Somerset remodels tend to be full refreshes rather than layout surgery: new cabinets with modern storage (the originals have fixed shelves and cavernous corners), quartz or granite counters, a real tile backsplash, and lighting designed in layers instead of a single ceiling fixture. The result keeps the kitchen's generous footprint and updates everything you touch and see.

Sight Lines to the Family Room

Many Somerset kitchens sit adjacent to the family room with only a partial opening — a wide cased opening or a half-wall that stops the connection. Widening that opening, or replacing the half-wall with a proper island or peninsula, connects the cook to the household. We check the structure first, then open it up.

The Desk Nook Problem

These kitchens often came with a built-in desk nook — a 90s must-have that became a mail pile by 2005. We convert dead desk nooks into the things families actually need: a coffee bar with a beverage fridge, a pantry cabinet, a charging station, or extra counter with storage below. It is one of the highest-satisfaction changes we make.
