Kitchen Remodeling in Hattiesburg, MS
Cabinets, counters, tile, and the plumbing hookups that tie a kitchen together — planned and built by the same person from demo to final walkthrough.
A kitchen remodel involves more moving pieces than any other room in the house — cabinets have to be sized around plumbing rough-ins, countertops have to be measured to the cabinet boxes, backsplash tile has to work around outlets and windows, and it all has to come together in the right order. In a lot of older Hattiesburg homes, kitchens are also still running on layouts and cabinets original to the house, which weren't designed around the way people actually cook and gather today.
Alex handles the carpentry, tile, and plumbing hookups himself, which means the cabinet layout, the tile backsplash, and the sink and dishwasher connections all get planned together — not measured separately by three different subcontractors hoping it lines up on install day.
Signs It's Time for a Kitchen Remodel
- Cabinets original to the house — worn, dated, or falling apart
- Not enough counter space or storage for how the kitchen actually gets used
- Outdated layout that doesn't fit modern appliances or an open floor plan
- Backsplash, counters, or flooring that don't match an otherwise updated home
- Planning a home update before selling or after buying an older house
Our Process for a Kitchen Remodel
- Walkthrough & design. Alex measures the space and talks through layout options that fit the budget.
- Demo. Old cabinets, counters, and flooring removed; plumbing and walls checked for hidden issues.
- Rough-in. Plumbing adjusted for the new layout if needed.
- Cabinets & counters. New cabinets installed and scribed to the wall; counters templated and set.
- Tile, fixtures & finish. Backsplash tile, sink and faucet connections, and trim close out the room.
What Affects the Cost of a Kitchen Remodel
- Scope: a cabinet and counter refresh versus a full layout change
- Cabinet type: built-to-order versus quality stock cabinets
- Countertop and tile material: costs vary significantly by material
- Plumbing or layout changes: moving a sink or island adds rough-in work

Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in a kitchen remodel?
It depends on the scope you choose — anything from new cabinets and counters to a full layout change involving plumbing and electrical moves. Alex prices based on the actual scope from the walkthrough, not a fixed package.
How long does a kitchen remodel take?
Kitchens involve more trades stacked together than almost any other room — cabinets, counters, plumbing, sometimes electrical — so timelines vary more than a single-room job like a bathroom. Alex gives a specific timeline once he's seen the layout and scope.
Can I use my kitchen during the remodel?
Not the section actively under construction. Depending on scope, Alex will talk through what to expect and whether a temporary setup makes sense during the job.
Do you move plumbing or electrical for a new kitchen layout?
Fixture-level plumbing moves — sink, dishwasher hookup — are part of what Alex handles directly. Electrical work like new circuits for appliances typically needs a licensed electrician, and Alex will tell you if your layout requires one.
Can you work with my existing kitchen layout instead of a full gut remodel?
Yes — some kitchens just need updated cabinets, counters, and tile without moving plumbing or walls. Alex will tell you honestly whether your layout is worth keeping or if a bigger change makes more sense for the room.
