Farmingdale Kitchen Remodel

Sep 2014

This was an original kitchen with minimal updating throughout the years. Cabinet space, counter space and design function were major issues along with inadequate electric and deteriorating plumbing. We redesigned the kitchen by removing the dinette table, replacing it with a seating area that included an L-shaped countertop area, base and wall cabinets. The wall cabinets featured a middle open faced cabinet to feature ornamental kitchenware. Since we more than doubled the counter space, the last thing we wanted to do was put a microwave on top of it, so one of these base cabinets also houses the microwave. Our design included beautiful Cherry cabinets with light rail molding underneath the wall cabinets and crown molding above. We used varied height wall cabinets to draw the eye. The doors are drawers all featured "soft-close" hinges and mechanisms, as did the pull-outs. We also more than doubled the cabinet space. It included a trash bin in an end cabinet to maximize floor space, several large cabinets to house pots and pans, many more drawers for utensils and extra wall cabinets for dishes, glasses and pantry items...which many formerly resided in the customer's basement. This kitchen features large rectangular porcelain floor tiles and an intricate travertine and slate backsplash design featuring a beautiful over the range tile design, all conceived and designed by CDI for this customer based on their taste. The countertops are Cambria Quartz. The customer was sold on this product after they learned it was harder and more durable than granite, stainproof and virtually mantenance free. The stainless steel appliances we used are all GE Café which give the restaurant style look at a fraction of the price. We used the French Door fridge with Freezer Draw bottom complete with a filtered water & ice maker that can also make hot water for a cup of tea or hot chocolate. The dishwasher is whisper quiet with hidden controls, many configurations and cycle options. The electric stove has a glass cooktop above and a bake and convectiion oven below. Above the range we have a powerful rangehood that would make any home cook envious! The microwave was modest but very functional as they are not big microwave users. This kitchen remodel was a full gut down to the studs and subfloor. It required all new plumbing as the existing was at the end of its lifespan. All new PVC DWV and Pex Tubing were installed. We also had to remove a long L-section of baseboard heating to accomodate the redesign, so we installed a hydronic toe-kick heater underneath the microwave cabinet to take its place. We also updated the electric...over the years additional lighting and outlets were connected to the existing resulting in flickering lights and circuit breakers being tripped since electric from the hallway, den, dining room and kitchen were all on the same circuits. We abated and seperated everthing from the kitchen and added all new dedicated circuits...as required by code to serve all the various appliances, recessed lighting, under the cabinet countertop lighting and backsplash outlets. Every aspect of this remodel was planned and accounted for, the result...a very happy customer and a job we are very proud of! We hope you enjoy!
