Kitchen Remodeling FAQs
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Cary, NC?
Every kitchen is different, so the cost depends a lot on your cabinet line, appliances, finishes, and how much you’re changing—there’s no single number that fits everyone. For a realistic ballpark, try our Budget Calculator (it estimates a full remodel from your home’s value), or see our process and book a consultation for a quote tailored to your project.
Do you handle the whole remodel, or just the cabinets?
We specialize in the design and the cabinetry—Dina designs your kitchen, we provide the custom cabinets, and Patrick installs them. We’re not the general contractor on a full remodel, but because Patrick is a licensed NC general contractor, we understand how the whole project fits together and can point you to trusted local trades for countertops, tile, plumbing, and more.
What cabinet brands do you offer?
We offer custom, semi-custom, and stock cabinetry from many different cabinet lines and vendors, so we can match your style, timeline, and budget.
How long does a kitchen remodel take?
After the design is finalized, cabinetry typically takes about 4–8 weeks to build; overall project length depends on scope. We provide a written timeline before any work begins so you know what to expect.
What areas do you serve?
We serve Cary, Raleigh, Apex, Morrisville, Holly Springs, Wake Forest, Durham, Chapel Hill, and the greater Triangle area of North Carolina.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Patrick Goembel is a licensed North Carolina general contractor, and Carolina Cabinet Specialist has served Triangle homeowners since 1994.
