Before and After Kitchen Upgrades

Browse through “before and after” photos for some of our past kitchen renovations. TD Renovations does a lot more than custom tile design. Some kitchen updates are mostly about style — trends change, finishes fade, and layouts that once felt modern can start to feel dated. But many renovations are driven by practical needs: better storage, more convenient countertop space for cooking, and a less congested layout. Based in Elk Park, North Carolina, Tom and Denise will travel as far as Johnson City, Tennessee for kitchen remodeling projects.

Changing Trends and Long-Term Value

Unfortunately, some of the most “affordable” kitchen remodeling options tend to chip and peel over time. As specialists in custom tile, TD Renovations used to offer tile countertops as a budget-friendly option, but with today’s lower prices on granite countertops, we recommend choosing a stone countertop for lasting durability. If you’re overwhelmed by the variety of products available, Tom and Denise can help you weigh the pros and cons of options in your price range.

Remodeling kitchens and bathrooms can add to a home’s resale value, but you need to be smart about design choices. If you want to invest in upgrades for your kitchen, then TD Renovations can help:

  • Choose a backsplash with tile designs
  • Replace outdated cupboards with custom cabinetry
  • Upgrade worn flooring with lasting, modern tile floors
  • Add an island or redesign the layout for more usable countertop space
  • Open or remove unnecessary walls for a more spacious floorplan

Check out examples of our past work, and get ideas for your own kitchen transformation. Some of our customers want to remove cabinets and fixtures that other customers would love, but you’re the ultimate judge when it comes to your own home.

Custom Kitchen Cabinets and Accessories

TD Renovations can order and install custom cabinets. Our preferred manufacturer builds and ships cabinets that are noticeably higher quality than you find in big box stores. Tom can work with you to find the right combination of cabinetry for your space, including corner cabinets, glass door cabinets, drawers, islands, and more. Depending on your kitchen style and needs, we can add all kinds of accessories.

  • Lazy susan turntables and corner solutions
  • Heavy-duty Rev-A-Shelf storage accessories
  • Single and double trash pull-outs
  • Glass stemware and wine racks
  • Cutting board racks
  • Spice rack pull-outs

Upgrade cabinets to complement your new floor, countertop, and backsplash. Unlike a lot of furniture that mostly needs to “look pretty”, kitchen cabinets and drawers see a lot of heavy use. With new kitchen drawers and cabinets, even your junk drawer can look elegant (at least from the outside).

Garage Apartment and Add-On Living Space

Whether you have a pool house or an add-on for Airbnb guests, expanding the kitchen will make a space more livable. We’ve remodeled all kinds of rooms and spaces for homeowners in western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee.

Pantry and Closet Storage Upgrade

As an add-on with other renovations, we’ll sometimes upgrade the storage in a kitchen pantry or closet. Shelving and cabinetry can help you stay organized without relying too much on clothes hangers and plastic tubs. Pantry storage needs to be clean and accessible. Deep shelves make it too easy for cans to disappear, forgotten behind other products.
