Kitchen Renovation in Charlotte & Across North Carolina
Your kitchen is the center of your home, and it should work as well as it looks. TGA Renovated delivers full-service kitchen renovations across North Carolina, from layout redesign and custom cabinetry to complete gut-and-rebuild projects. We handle every detail so you get a kitchen built around how you actually live.
Is Kitchen Renovation Right for Your Project?
Kitchen renovation ranges from targeted upgrades to complete transformations. The right approach depends on your goals, your home's current condition, and how you use the space. Here is who benefits most from working with a dedicated kitchen renovation contractor.
Get Started
Homeowners with Outdated Kitchens
Your kitchen still has the original cabinets, laminate countertops, or builder-grade finishes from when the house was built. The layout feels cramped, storage is insufficient, and the space no longer reflects your style or how your family uses it. You want a full transformation, not just a surface-level refresh.
Families Who Have Outgrown Their Kitchen
Your household has changed since you moved in. You need more counter space for meal prep, better flow for multiple cooks, a larger island for homework and gathering, or a reconfigured layout that opens to the living area. The kitchen needs to evolve with your family.
Homeowners Planning to Sell
You know the kitchen is the most scrutinized room in the house, and yours is dragging down your home's value. You want a renovation that maximizes resale appeal without over-improving for the neighborhood. You need a contractor who understands which upgrades deliver the best return.

Buyers Who Purchased a Fixer-Upper
You bought the house knowing the kitchen needed work. Whether it is a dated galley kitchen, a closed-off layout, or a space with structural issues, you need a contractor who can reimagine the room from the studs out and bring your vision to life within budget.
Homeowners Upgrading to a Dream Kitchen
You are not renovating out of necessity. You want the kitchen you have always envisioned: professional-grade appliances, custom cabinetry, a butler's pantry, statement lighting, premium countertops. You need a team that can execute high-end finishes and complex design details.
Not Sure If Kitchen Renovation Is Right?
If your project involves renovating multiple rooms or reconfiguring your home's entire floor plan, our Whole Home Renovation service may be a better fit. We will help you determine the best approach during your consultation.

Kitchen Renovation FAQs
How long does a kitchen renovation take?
Timeline depends on scope. A kitchen renovation that keeps the existing layout and updates finishes typically takes 6-10 weeks. Projects involving layout changes, wall removal, or structural work usually run 10-16 weeks. We provide a detailed construction schedule during the design phase so you know exactly what to expect.
How much does a kitchen renovation cost in North Carolina?
Kitchen renovation costs vary based on scope, materials, and layout complexity. Mid-range kitchen renovations in the Charlotte and Raleigh markets typically run $35,000-$75,000. High-end or large-scale projects with custom cabinetry, premium materials, and structural changes can range from $75,000-$150,000 or more. We provide transparent, itemized estimates after our design phase.
Can I stay in my home during the kitchen renovation?
Yes, most homeowners stay in their home during a kitchen renovation. You will lose access to your kitchen for the duration of construction, so we recommend setting up a temporary kitchen area with a microwave, mini-fridge, and basic supplies. We plan the work to restore water and essential services as quickly as possible and minimize disruption to the rest of your home.
Do you handle the design, or do I need to hire a separate designer?
We provide full design services in-house, including space planning, material selection, 3D renderings, and cabinetry design. If you are already working with an interior designer or architect, we are happy to collaborate with them. Either way, you will see a detailed visualization of your kitchen before any construction begins.
Can you remove a wall to open up my kitchen?
In most cases, yes. Many kitchen renovations involve removing walls to create open-concept layouts. If the wall is load-bearing, we install a properly engineered header or beam to carry the structural load. We evaluate wall conditions during the discovery phase and include any structural requirements in the project plan and budget from the start.
What permits are needed for a kitchen renovation?
Most kitchen renovations require building permits, especially when the scope includes electrical work, plumbing changes, structural modifications, or gas line work. We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our standard service. Permits protect you by ensuring work meets code and is properly documented for insurance and resale purposes.
What countertop and cabinet materials do you recommend?
Material selection depends on your priorities and budget. For countertops, quartz is the most popular choice for durability and low maintenance, while natural stone like granite and marble offers unique character. For cabinets, we work with semi-custom and fully custom options in a range of wood species, finishes, and door styles. We walk you through the pros, cons, and cost differences during design so you can make an informed decision.
How does kitchen renovation affect my home's value?
Kitchen renovation consistently delivers one of the highest returns on investment of any home improvement project. In the North Carolina market, a well-executed mid-range kitchen renovation typically recoups 60-80% of its cost at resale. Beyond the financial return, an updated kitchen often makes the difference in how quickly a home sells.
What is a butler's pantry, and should I add one?
A butler's pantry is a secondary prep and storage area between the kitchen and dining room. It typically includes additional counter space, cabinetry, a sink, and sometimes a beverage station or wine storage. If you have the square footage and frequently entertain, a butler's pantry adds both function and resale value. We can assess whether your floor plan supports one during the design phase.
