Kitchen Remodeling
At Interstate Custom Kitchen and Bath, we truly believe the Kitchen is the “heart” of the home. It is the place we often gravitate to throughout the day. It is where memories are made as we share stories with friends and family, teach little ones how to make their first batch of cookies, celebrate birthdays, holidays, and so much more! That’s why we offer custom kitchen remodeling services!
Here at Interstate, we work with our clients to create the perfect kitchen space for them. Each Client is unique in how they intend to use the space, and the finished project should reflect that. There is no “one right answer” to what a kitchen renovation should look like. The staff at Interstate works directly with the Client to learn their individual needs, desires, and design styles to help them coordinate a beautiful kitchen remodel that is perfect for them.
