Second kitchen and in-law kitchen
A second or in-law kitchen adds a complete cooking space in a basement or coach house after plumbing, venting and code are checked.

What decides it
The first check is whether another cooking space is allowed in that part of the property and what conditions apply. Only then does it make sense to design plumbing, ventilation and appliance capacity.
Why this is worth doing properly
When the room no longer deserves another workaround, we take it back and rebuild it as one complete kitchen: layout, cabinetry, stone, tile, lighting and appliances. One crew follows one coordinated scope from demolition through the final adjustment.
What you get from us
- 01
Solve the layout before ordering
Aisles, appliance doors, the distance from sink to range and clearance behind the stools are drawn to scale first. Correcting the layout after cabinets arrive is no longer a design change.
- 02
Specify appliances before cabinets
Every appliance comes with exact opening, ventilation and clearance requirements. Reading them before the cabinet order prevents permanent gaps, blocked doors and improvised fillers.
- 03
One crew throughout
The same crew carries the job from demolition through final trim. Separately licensed plumbing, electrical and gas contractors work within the same coordinated schedule.
- 04
Nothing hidden without approval
If demolition reveals structural load, a blocked drain route or old wiring, you receive photographs and a written price before the condition is covered.
