Located in the heart of the Sixth Ave West Neighborhood, our clients approached us with a vision to rejuvenate their dated 1978 kitchen, reflecting their affinity for a monochromatic aesthetic while fostering a space for hosting friends and family gatherings. Despite their children no longer residing at home, they cherished entertaining friends and family for special occasions. However, their existing kitchen, encumbered by a drop ceiling and partitioned from the dining room, hindered their hosting aspirations.

During our initial consultation, the clients expressed a clear vision for the project's outcome: Remove the dividing wall between the kitchen and dining area, relocate the sink to a larger window overlooking the expansive backyard with a view of their custom water feature. Additionally, they sought to repurpose the underutilized formal sitting room at the front of the house as their new dining space, allowing for an extensive kitchen expansion spanning over 20 feet.

In addressing the design challenges, we discovered that the drop ceiling concealed all second-story plumbing supply and drains, as well as the HVAC supply. The partitioning wall to be removed encumbered the main floor HVAC return as well. However, through strategic planning and innovative solutions, we seamlessly integrated lighted wall niches to showcase the clients' artwork while concealing utility elements in the middle, enhancing the overall ambiance. To optimize both space and aesthetics, we raised the drop ceiling and discreetly relocated the main plumbing stack into a small soffit above the existing kitchen window and behind a tall pantry cabinet.

By ingeniously designing two smaller islands side by side, we fulfilled the client's desire for an expansive island, ensuring accessibility and visual appeal, and a new location for the HVAC return. The space incorporated over 40 cabinets in total, ensuring the client didn't miss out on storage.

The result is a functional and inviting kitchen perfect for entertaining, boasting sleek transitional finishes harmonizing with natural elements. We sourced luxury appliances from Monogram and SKS, complemented by semi-custom cabinets from Diamond with custom three-piece crown molding. Super White Dolomite countertops add an elegant touch, completing the sophisticated retreat envisioned by our clients.

We can’t say enough wonderful things about our experience with VL Builders! From day one they communicated what their process would be and what we could expect. From start to finish, design to final product, we couldn’t be happier. It was clear by the workmanship of everyone involved that they care about their work product and want their clients to be satisfied. We’ve heard horror stories of friends and their renovation projects, but we couldn’t have had a better experience. VL Builders actually made our process enjoyable! We truly loved having them in our home and will absolutely, without hesitation be calling them for our next project.

We had heard all the horror stories about the remodeling experience but working with VL Builders was the exact opposite of that. We wouldn't hesitate to use VL Builders again or recommend them to others. Special thank you to Nick, Ken and Alex - Nick for amazing project management and Ken and Alex for superb craftsmanship. Everyone who works for VL was fantastic to work with. We are in love with our new kitchen and look forward to using it for a very long time.

I recommend VL Builders to anyone who wants a remodel job done professionally. They took care of everything. Kaitlyn expertly guided us through the design and materials selections. Nick did a superb job of scheduling and oversaw the project. Jason our carpenter was onsite the most and his work is impeccable, a real eye for detail. All of their subcontractors showed up on time and performed quality work. The Owner, Victor worked quietly in the background assuring a beautiful functional design. There was no punch list needed. VL is worth every dollar spent.

So, we've all had horror stories with contractors, right? I can tell you honestly that I've never had a better contractor experience than we had with VL Builders. From the first estimate, to the design phase, to the pricing, to the options to the work, invoicing and follow through...these folks were EXACTLY what you want from a contractor.

VL did our extensive kitchen remodel in late 2023 and we are thrilled with the results as well as with the process. Kaitlyn expertly guided us through the design phase and was extremely helpful in answering any and all questions during this phase. Nick was our project manager who dealt with the day-to-day running of the project. There were no surprises. The VL tradesmen (truly craftsmen) showed up when they were supposed to show up. They did outstanding work and left the area clean every day. They were conscientious with our time and treated our home with respect. I would recommend VL Builders without hesitation for any project you are contemplating.
