A kitchen renovation in Vermont often begins with the same realisation. The home was built in the 1970s or 1980s, the kitchen was done on the cheap somewhere along the way, and neither the layout nor the cabinetry has held up.
Brick homes are common across Vermont, and many homeowners are quietly living with kitchens that no longer suit them. A better layout and smarter storage can change how the whole home feels. Our kitchen renovation services are built around what your home and your lifestyle actually need.
A full kitchen remodel covers more ground than many Vermont homeowners expect. Layout design, custom cabinetry, benchtops, splashbacks, and hardware are all part of the process. For homeowners in Vermont, we also extend the same work to bathroom renovations, laundries, and living areas, so every room feels considered and consistent.
At The Kitchen Design Centre, design, manufacturing, and installation all come from the same team. Every Vermont kitchen is built and fitted by qualified cabinet makers and certified tradespeople, with nothing handed off mid-project.
A full TKDC kitchen renovation typically includes:
Most kitchen companies design in a showroom and outsource the build. At TKDC, every custom kitchen is measured, built, and tested in our own factory in Bayswater. Our cabinet makers use precision machinery and bring decades of experience to every project. Every component is custom-measured and built for the specific space, with no adaptations from a standard range.
Our factory has been running since 1994, and the workmanship shows. Every piece is tested for fit and function before it leaves, so the craftsmanship you see in our showroom is exactly what arrives in your home.
Kitchen size plays the biggest role, but it’s rarely the only one. The cabinetry finish you choose, your benchtop material (also known as countertops in other parts of the world), and your hardware selections all shift the final figure. So does any structural work your home needs.
A larger layout with engineered stone benchtops and custom storage costs more than a compact kitchen with laminate finishes. Quality materials pay off over time too. A custom kitchen built properly is designed to last 20 to 30 years. A lower-cost renovation often needs revisiting within a decade, which makes it a more costly home renovation decision over time.
TKDC works in the mid-to-upper investment range. We build kitchens designed to last, not to compete on price alone.
Vermont homes aren’t heritage properties. They’re solid brick family homes built for practical, everyday living, and the kitchen design choices that work best reflect that. Clean lines, soft matte cabinetry, neutral palettes, and integrated appliances suit these spaces well. Modern designs that open toward living areas make a real difference to how the kitchen feels day to day.
TKDC’s designers bring 60+ years of combined experience to every project, guiding Vermont homeowners toward personal style choices designed to feel right in ten years, not just right now.

Vermont’s brick homes from the 1970s and 1980s suit clean, contemporary kitchen styles well. Soft matte cabinetry, neutral colour palettes, and integrated appliances complement the architecture without competing with it. Layouts that open toward living areas also work particularly well in these floor plans, improving flow without structural changes.
A full custom kitchen renovation costs more than a flat-pack or off-the-shelf option, since every part is designed and built around your space. Your investment depends on the scope of work and the finishes you choose, and we talk through this in detail at your Project Consultation.
