This was one of the most complex kitchen remodeling projects we have done for several reasons: The main water service, electrical service, gas water heater and air conditioning system were all either relocated or modified when we expanded the 1964 kitchen. The Owner wanted a larger kitchen and another window on a wall, which at that time, was the back of the utility room. We added to the kitchen incorporating a space which previously housed the air handlers, gas water heater and main electrical service panel. The duct work for this home is under the concrete slab and the air handlers were relocated to the attic. They still connect to the duct work, under the concrete slab, but you can’t see the hidden connection in the back of the new cabinets.
This was the second major project on their home and between the two, almost the entire home was remodeled.
