What Batavia kitchens usually need
Opening up closed kitchens
Homes of this era often separate the kitchen from the family room. We check the wall, engineer the beam and open the space when it makes sense.
Refreshing 1990s kitchens
A lot of local kitchens are from the 1990s. The footprint often works; doors, counters, soffits and lighting are what date them.
