A Kitchen Remodel That Fits How You Actually Cook

A kitchen touches more trades than any other room in the house: framing for any wall that moves, drywall, cabinets, counters, trim, paint, and the floor under all of it. When one crew handles those pieces and the crew talks to itself, the schedule tightens and the finished room looks like one project instead of five.

Many homes around Maxton and Lumberton are single-story brick or frame houses with kitchens laid out decades ago: closed off from the living room, short on counter space, with cabinet boxes that no longer close square. Opening a wall, rebuilding the cabinet run, or simply replacing worn finishes can change how the whole house feels.

We start by finding out how you use the room, then work backward to a layout, a materials list and a schedule. You will know which parts of the job we handle and which parts, like major plumbing or electrical changes, need a separate licensed tradesperson.

Signs It Is Time to Remodel the Kitchen

Cabinet doors that sag, drawers that stick, or boxes swollen from years of humidity
Counters that are chipped, stained, or too short to prep a meal on
A layout where two people cannot work at once without bumping into each other
Water damage under the sink or around the dishwasher that has soaked the cabinet base or subfloor
A wall between the kitchen and living space that you would like to open up
Finishes you plan to live with for years but dislike every day

How a Kitchen Remodel Goes, Start to Finish

Walk-through and measurementsJorge measures the room, checks where walls, plumbing and electrical sit, and talks through what you want to keep and what has to go.
Layout and written scopeWe agree on cabinet runs, counter material, flooring and what gets demolished, then put the scope and price in writing.
Demolition and rough workOld cabinets and counters come out, any framing or drywall repair is done, and problems hidden behind the walls are dealt with before new work goes in.
Cabinets, counters and trimCabinets are set level and tight, counters are templated and installed, and trim and paint go on last so nothing gets scuffed.
Final walkthroughWe check every door and drawer with you, touch up what needs it, and clean up before we call the job done.

What Drives the Cost of a Kitchen Remodel

Every kitchen is priced from its own scope. These are the choices that move the number the most.

Cabinet typeStock, semi-custom and fully custom cabinets are priced very differently, and cabinets are the biggest line item in most kitchens.

Counter materialLaminate, butcher block, granite and quartz each have a different material and fabrication cost, plus edge profiles and cutouts for sinks and cooktops.

Layout changesKeeping the footprint keeps cost down. Moving a wall or relocating the sink adds framing, drywall and plumbing work.

What is behind the wallsOld wiring, past water damage or uneven floors found at demolition can change the scope. We flag them as soon as we see them.

Why Choose Martinez Construction for Your Kitchen

In a kitchen the order of work matters. Jorge’s background in framing and drywall means wall changes, soffit removal and patching are done by the same hands that finish the room, which avoids the common problem of a cabinet installer waiting on someone else’s drywall.

We keep the plan simple enough to explain on one page, and we tell you early if something on your wish list needs a specialist. Large plumbing, gas or electrical changes are outside what Jorge does on bigger projects, and we would rather say that plainly than overpromise.

Kitchen Remodeling FAQs

How long does a kitchen remodel take?

It depends on the scope. A cabinet-and-counter refresh in the same layout moves faster than one that opens a wall. Counters usually need a template visit and a fabrication wait after the cabinets are set, which is often the longest gap. We give you a schedule with the quote and tell you right away if lead times change it.

Can you move or remove a wall in my kitchen?

Yes, framing is core work for us. First we figure out whether the wall carries load from the roof or floor above. A load-bearing wall needs a properly sized beam and support, and your town or county may require a permit. We explain the options before you commit.

Do I need a permit for a kitchen remodel in Robeson County?

Cosmetic updates often do not need a permit, while structural, electrical or plumbing changes usually do. The permit office for your town or county sets the requirement, and we will tell you what we expect your plan to need before work begins.

Will I be without a kitchen the whole time?

You will lose full use of it during demolition and installation. Many families set up a small prep area with a microwave, coffee maker and cooler in another room. We plan the order of work to keep the kitchen out of service for as short a stretch as we can.

What happens if you find water damage under the sink or floor?

Old leaks are common behind dishwashers and under sinks. We stop, show you the damage, and price the repair as a change to the scope before moving on. Rotted subfloor is replaced, not covered up with new flooring.

Can you install cabinets I already bought?

Often yes. Bring us the cabinet plan or the delivery list and we will review it before the job starts, because missing filler pieces or wrong-handed doors are much easier to fix before installation day.
