Why Remodel Your Kitchen With Veteran Grains?

We Have Experience With Many Homes and Styles

We’ve remodeled kitchens in traditional homes, contemporary designs, colonials, tudors, multi-family units and more – we are comfortable working within any aesthetic boundary. Whether you think that shiplap would complement your home, or you want to introduce stainless steel accents into your kitchen design, let us know. We are happy to accommodate.

We Work On Time and Within Budget

We’re aware of the dangers of “project creep,” and we pride ourselves on completing projects within budget and within the proposed time frame. Remodeling a kitchen can be invasive, and we know that eating out every night can be tedious when all you want to do is use your beautiful new kitchen. We discuss details like trim, countertops, and tile material early in the process, so there are no budgetary surprises along the way.

Integrity is a Core Value

Our veteran owned and operated small business is local, and we enjoy helping our neighbors in the Lehigh Valley improve their homes and lifestyles. We treat our clients with respect, and we are always transparent during both the quoting and execution phases of every project. We would be happy to speak with you about our process and what you can expect.

Call Us Early in the Process

Some homeowners spend a great deal of time looking at materials, calling designers, and getting the cart ahead of the horse in general. Here is the problem with that strategy.

You may pay the designer $2K-$3K for their hard work, and that will include things like countertop selections, tile decisions, lighting fixtures, cabinet styles, paint colors, and more. It will likely include the appliance decisions as well. And the designer may tell you that the kitchen will cost $40K or so to demolish and renovate.

With design plans in hand, you then start calling contractors and getting quotes. And you get the bad news -- that you actually designed a $70K kitchen, and you don't have the budget for it. At this point, homeowners then have to start sacrificing features they've already fallen in love with, and in a worst case scenario, they have to start the design process all over again.

By calling Veteran Grains first, you have a partner throughout the kitchen design process. We will talk about your budget right at the beginning, and we'll make sure design occurs within your budget. If you need any structural work done, like a load-bearing wall removal to open up your floorplan, we can connect you with an engineer as well. Call the actual remodeling contractor first -- this is the best way to make sure your project happens on time, and within budget.

Allentown's Experts in the Many Facets of Kitchen Remodeling

Kitchen remodeling is about creating a space that reflects your style and improves your kitchen’s function to better serve you. From custom trims to sleek countertops, every detail plays a role in transforming your kitchen into the heart of your home.

Custom Trims and Cabinets in Your Kitchen

Custom trim can bring character to your kitchen, and it can blend the different elements of your kitchen together in perfect harmony. Complex trims may work well for some designs, while other homeowners need a simple trim to match the rest of your home. From crown molding to scribe molding and riser molding, we can find the perfect fit for you.

Cabinets are one of the most popular remodeling requests, and for good reason – they can transform the look of your kitchen while also making the space infinitely more practical. After several years in your home, you’ll know exactly what you want out of your cabinets – and that’s where we come in.

Custom Countertops and Backsplashes For Your Kitchen

Don’t underestimate the power of the right kitchen countertop. The material you choose, be it granite, quartz, marble, or laminate, not only defines the look of your kitchen but also its durability and maintenance level. Similarly, the backsplash is an opportunity for creativity, color and personality in your kitchen. We can work with classic subway tiles, mosaic patterns, and more.

Choose Your New Kitchen Flooring

Whether you want hardwood, high end tiles, budget-friendly laminate, reclaimed limestone, or vinyl, your flooring should complement the overall design of your kitchen while standing up to heavy foot traffic and spills. We’ll help you choose a material that will last for decades, and we can share our insight on how easy certain flooring materials are to clean!

Get a Custom Kitchen Island

Whether you need an island for cooking purposes, a breakfast bar, or significant storage, we can help design and build the perfect kitchen island for your lifestyle. We can help select woods and countertop materials, and we will include drawers and cabinets as well. The right island can transform your cooking experience.

Built-Ins, High End Materials and Much More

The wonderful thing about a kitchen remodel is that you get to choose what we do with your kitchen (although we are happy to provide as much guidance as you would like). We can create a custom pantry system, built-in shelving, or even a cozy built-in library in a breakfast nook. As far as materials are concerned, we can talk through the pricing and availability of granite, oak, maple, cherry, stainless steel, glass and more.

We can’t wait to help you transform your kitchen - send us an email or give us a call.

Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen Remodeling in Allentown

How Much Does a Full Kitchen Remodel Cost in the Allentown Area?

Kitchen remodeling costs in Allentown typically start around $35,000 for a straightforward layout using stock or semi-custom cabinets, standard flooring, and basic countertop materials. Midrange kitchens, which often include new layout work, custom cabinets, upgraded lighting, and better-quality surfaces, generally fall between $55,000 and $95,000.

High-end kitchens can range from $100,000 to $150,000 or more, especially if the project involves opening up walls, reworking plumbing and electrical systems, or adding space for a new mudroom or laundry area. These larger projects often include top-tier appliances, tile flooring, stone or quartz countertops, detailed cabinet trim, and upgraded ventilation systems.

Cabinet scope, flooring material, and appliance selections all have a direct impact on final cost. During your walkthrough, we'll talk through your layout, the age and structure of the home, and your material preferences so we can build a realistic estimate that reflects your goals.

How Long Does a Kitchen Remodel Usually Take?

A full remodel typically takes 6 to 10 weeks once construction begins. The timeline depends on factors like cabinet lead times, flooring installation, tile work, and whether structural modifications are part of the project. Before construction, we take the time to plan carefully, finalize all material selections, and coordinate trades. This keeps the build phase on track and prevents delays once your kitchen is torn out.

Can You Help With the Design and Layout?

Yes. In fact, we strongly encourage you to call us before hiring a designer. We work closely with homeowners throughout the design phase and make sure the layout reflects both your vision and your budget. If you're opening up a wall, relocating appliances, or building custom cabinetry, our input early on can help you avoid wasted design dollars and costly redrawing. We also help coordinate engineers for structural work when needed.

Do You Provide Custom Cabinets and Trim?

We do. Cabinetry is one of the most requested upgrades, and we build and install cabinets to fit your kitchen's size, function, and layout. We also offer a variety of trim solutions, including crown, riser, scribe, and toe-kick moldings. These finishing touches help the room feel complete. Whether you want full-overlay modern cabinets or classic framed styles with traditional details, we can deliver both the design and the installation.

What Countertop Options Do You Offer?

We regularly install granite, quartz, marble, butcher block, and laminate countertops. Each material has different strengths. Quartz is low-maintenance and uniform in color, while granite offers natural movement and depth. We walk you through what to expect in terms of price, sealing requirements, and cleaning needs so you can choose a surface that fits your cooking habits and maintenance preferences.

Can You Build a Custom Kitchen Island?

Yes. We've built islands that serve as prep stations, storage centers, seating areas, and all three at once. During design, we'll review how much clearance is needed around the island, how many drawers or cabinets you want built in, and what type of countertop fits the scale of the room. Some homeowners request outlets, microwave drawers, or slide-out spice racks in the island as well.

Do I Need to Move Out During the Remodel?

In most cases, you can stay in your home while the kitchen remodel is underway. However, you will lose access to the kitchen for several weeks. We help you plan for this disruption, set up a temporary kitchen space if needed, and minimize downtime as much as possible. Some families choose to schedule their remodel around a vacation, while others opt to stay home and cook with small appliances. Either option can work, as long as expectations are clear.

Will You Handle Permits and Code Compliance?

Yes. We handle all permitting and code-related requirements for work within our scope. This includes plumbing and electrical upgrades, structural changes, and venting modifications. We also coordinate with engineers and inspectors as needed. Our job is to complete your kitchen safely, legally, and according to the most up-to-date standards in Lehigh County.

What Should I Choose First: Cabinets, Flooring, or Appliances?

We recommend starting with the appliances and cabinet layout. These set the framework for everything else. Once cabinet dimensions are set, we finalize the countertop material and backsplash options. Flooring should complement your other selections, but it also needs to meet the functional demands of the kitchen. We help guide this sequence so you don't make early decisions that cause problems later in the process.

Do You Work Outside of Allentown?

Yes, we serve homeowners throughout the Lehigh Valley. That includes Emmaus, Whitehall, Macungie, Breinigsville, Catasauqua, and the surrounding townships. If you're located in or near Lehigh County and are considering a kitchen remodel, we'd be glad to visit your home, talk through your goals, and prepare a detailed quote tailored to your project.
