Kitchen Design Built Around the Home

Crain Bros Inc provides custom kitchen design and remodeling for Northeast Arkansas homes. We design the room around how the homeowner cooks, stores food, cleans, gathers with family and moves between the kitchen and adjoining spaces.

Serving Northeast Arkansas since 1984, Crain Bros Inc performs the carpentry, plumbing, electrical work and finish work required to turn the kitchen plan into a complete home remodeling project.

Kitchen Cabinets Designed for Storage and Daily Use

Crain Bros Inc provides custom kitchen cabinetry as part of residential kitchen remodeling throughout Northeast Arkansas. Cabinet depth, drawer size, shelf spacing, appliance openings, corner conditions, hardware, wall height and sink-base requirements should be planned around what the home needs to store and how often each item is used.

Kitchen Pantries and Food Storage

Crain Bros Inc provides built-in kitchen pantries and walk-in pantry improvements for Northeast Arkansas homes. Pantry cabinets, adjustable shelves, deep drawers, pull-out storage, baskets, countertop appliance space, lighting and trim can be planned around the available floor area and the homeowner's grocery-storage needs.

Kitchen Countertops and Backsplashes

Crain Bros Inc installs kitchen countertops around cabinet dimensions, sink cutouts, appliances, seating overhangs and food-preparation areas. Kitchen backsplashes protect wall surfaces and should account for receptacles, switches, upper cabinets, under-cabinet lighting, countertop edges and the cooking area.

Kitchen Islands for Preparation, Seating and Storage

Crain Bros Inc builds kitchen islands for Northeast Arkansas homes with options for preparation space, household seating, drawers, cabinets, sinks, appliances and electrical access. The island is planned around the room's dimensions so cabinet doors, appliance doors and walkways remain useful within the home.

Kitchen Sinks, Faucets, Dishwashers and Plumbing

Crain Bros Inc performs kitchen plumbing work for sinks, faucets, dishwashers, water supplies, drains and disposals in Northeast Arkansas homes. Sink location and plumbing routes are planned with the cabinets, countertops, windows, flooring and the way the homeowner prepares food and cleans the kitchen.

Kitchen Appliances, Cooking Areas and Ventilation

Crain Bros Inc installs kitchen cabinets, countertops and utility connections around the appliances selected for Northeast Arkansas homes. A refrigerator needs enough room for its doors and drawers to open without blocking a walkway. A range needs nearby workspace, the correct power or fuel connection and a hood that removes cooking exhaust. Ovens and dishwashers need room to open safely while people continue to move through the kitchen.

Range hoods and kitchen exhaust should be planned around the selected cooking equipment, duct route and surrounding cabinets. The EPA's residential cooking and indoor-air guidance recommends using a range hood that vents outdoors while cooking and continuing to operate the hood after cooking.

Kitchen Lighting and Electrical Planning

Crain Bros Inc provides kitchen lighting and electrical work for general room lighting, countertop task lighting, island pendants, switches, receptacles and appliance power. Locations should support how the homeowner prepares food, cleans, moves through the room and uses the kitchen at different times of day.

Kitchen Flooring and Transitions Into the Home

Crain Bros Inc provides kitchen flooring within a complete kitchen remodel. Flooring choices should account for household traffic, cleaning, moisture exposure, subfloor conditions, cabinet installation and transitions into dining rooms, living areas, hallways and exterior doors.

Kitchen Walls, Trim, Paint and Finished Details

Crain Bros Inc provides kitchen wall and ceiling repairs, interior painting, trim carpentry, cabinet fillers, transitions and final finish work for Northeast Arkansas homes. These details help the remodeled kitchen fit naturally with the adjoining rooms and the rest of the home.

Kitchen Remodeling Permits, Inspections and Arkansas Codes

Crain Bros Inc performs kitchen remodeling in accordance with the permits, inspections and Arkansas codes that apply to the work and jurisdiction. Arkansas lists current state building, residential, electrical, plumbing, fuel-gas and mechanical codes in its current applicable state codes. Work disturbing painted surfaces in an applicable pre-1978 home may also involve the EPA Lead Renovation, Repair and Painting Program.
