In kitchen remodel projects, the largest share typically goes toward custom cabinetry and statement materials. These foundational elements define both the function and feel of the kitchen. At Jackson Carter Design Build, we emphasize selecting durable surfaces like quartz or marble and pairing them with appliances that balance beauty with performance. The goal? Ensuring every inch of your investment enhances your space for the long run.
Maintenance becomes essential after the dust settles and your dream kitchen is complete. For your new kitchen, we recommend using surface-safe, non-abrasive cleaners tailored to your specific finishes and scheduling seasonal appliance check-ins.

Jackson Carter Design Build helps clients choose innovative, design-forward options that match the kitchen’s style and future-proof it with modern tech and sustainable performance.

In Elk Grove Village, we recommend engineered wood for moisture resistance or sealed natural hardwood for a more organic look. These options provide warmth underfoot and visual continuity across open-concept layouts while standing up beautifully to everyday life in the heart of your home.
