Kitchens
The room that runs your morning. Layout first, cabinetry built to the wall — not bought to almost fit — and lighting that flatters the stone and the people.

Kitchens, additions, and whole-home remodels — designed, permitted, and built by one crew that answers the phone. You get a fixed bid before demo day and the same lead carpenter until the punch list is done.

What we build
Three kinds of project. One way of working.
Design and construction under one roof, so the drawings, the bid, and the build never argue with each other.
Additions & primary baths
More house, same address. We tie foundation to roofline so the new part never reads as a part — inside or from the curb.
From $140K · 12–20 weeks
Whole-home
One permit, one plan, one dust season. We sequence the entire house so you move out once — if at all.
From $350K · 5–9 months
The Reveal
Drag the line. Same room, nine weeks apart.
A representative Northline kitchen, shot from the same corner before demo and after punch list — because before we touch a wall, you've already seen both sides of it. Drag the brass line, or focus it and use your arrow keys.

Spec sheet — after
54% remodeled- CabinetsRift-sawn white oak, inset doors
- LightBrass pendants + a window twice the size
- LayoutWall opened — the island seats four
- CountersHoned stone, full-height splash
Nine weeks on site. One load-bearing wall opened with a flush beam. Fixed bid, held — the only change order was the homeowner's pot filler, priced before we cut a single tile.
Process
Permit to punch list, no improvisation.
Remodeling has a reputation. The fix isn't charm — it's sequence, paperwork, and showing up every Friday with the truth.
- 01Weeks 1–4
Design + a fixed bid
We measure, draw, and price the whole job before anyone swings a hammer. The number you sign is the number you pay — change orders happen when you change your mind, not when we find ours.
- 02Weeks 3–8
Permits, pulled by us
We stamp, submit, and chase the city so you never learn its phone tree. City review takes two to six weeks — demo doesn't start until the permit is taped to the glass.
- 03Weeks 8–16
The build
Same lead carpenter every day, floors protected from day one, dust walls up before demo. A schedule email lands every Friday — including the weeks that look like nothing, because inspections and cure times are real.
- 04Final week + month 11
Punch list + the 11-month walk
We walk the job with blue tape until you run out of tape. Then we come back at month eleven — before your warranty closes, not after — and fix what a year of living found.
Craftsmanship
The details are the job.
If guests need it pointed out before they notice, that's exactly the standard we build to.
Hand-cut dovetails where machine joints would have done. 
Unlacquered brass — it ages with the house, not against it. Level to 1/16″ over ten feet. Checked twice, signed once.

Cost ranges
Real numbers, before you ever call.
If these brackets feel uncomfortable, better here than three sales calls deep. Fixed bids only — no allowance games that detonate in month two.

Sanity-check my budgetOne crew
No subs
roulette.
Most remodels go sideways in the handoffs — between the salesman, the framer you never met, and whoever shows up Thursday. We deleted the handoffs.
- The lead carpenter who measures your kitchen is the one who builds it.
- Twelve people, one payroll, one standard — nobody you haven't met.
- Electrical and plumbing are our two licensed partners of nine years. We schedule them; you never chase them.
