Feller Contracting transformed this 1970s closed-off kitchen into a bright, modern open-concept space. This full kitchen remodel features a large center island with black granite countertops, custom ceiling-height cabinetry for maximum storage, and a layout designed to improve flow, functionality, and overall home value.
This late-1970s home featured a traditional eat-in kitchen that was closed off from the main living space. Large soffits and an inefficient layout — with the stove positioned directly next to the refrigerator — limited both functionality and visual appeal. The outdated design failed to showcase the home’s vaulted ceilings and decorative beams in the adjoining living room.
The primary goals of this full kitchen renovation were to remove structural walls to achieve an open-concept floor plan, eliminate existing soffits, and install custom cabinets to the ceiling for a modern, cohesive design. A key element of the remodel was incorporating a large, functional kitchen island to enhance storage, workspace, and everyday usability.
Structural wall removal presented a major challenge and required detailed planning and professional execution to preserve the home’s stability. The island placement and size were carefully designed to optimize traffic flow and functionality. This renovation successfully delivered a modern kitchen that improved both livability and resale value.
The result of this kitchen renovation is a modern open-concept kitchen anchored by a large island with black granite countertops. Ceiling-height 41" upper cabinets offer generous storage while enhancing the streamlined design. By opening the kitchen to the surrounding living areas, the space now feels larger, brighter, and significantly more functional. This project showcases Feller Contracting’s expertise in full-service kitchen remodeling and structural renovations.
