Custom Kitchen Remodel in Kalorama, Washington, D.C.
Custom kitchen remodel in Kalorama, Washington, D.C. by H&C Contractors Inc. This kitchen pairs warm white oak cabinetry with marble and black stone: a plaster range hood over a marble slab backsplash, a large island with a honed black countertop, and a butler’s pantry with its own sink.
Custom white oak kitchen cabinets
The cabinets are white oak, with quartersawn oak showing its natural grain in the pantry. Tall cabinets frame the cooking wall, a paneled refrigerator blends into the cabinetry, and the island base is wrapped in the same oak. Small dark knobs and long pulls keep the hardware quiet so the wood stands out.
Marble backsplash and plaster range hood
A white marble slab with gray veining runs behind the range in one piece, with open oak shelves built into the wall on either side for spices and oils. Above it, a smooth plaster hood spans the width of the cooking wall and hides the ventilation insert, a clean architectural look that fits the older homes of Kalorama.
Kitchen island with a black stone countertop
The island is topped with a honed black stone countertop and holds an undermount sink with a matte black faucet, with seating for four along one side. The marble perimeter counters and the black island give the kitchen contrast without adding more colors.
Butler’s pantry with a second sink
Through a pocket opening beside the refrigerator, the butler’s pantry has more white oak cabinets, a black stone countertop and backsplash, a second undermount sink and a brass wall sconce. It keeps small appliances, dishes and prep work out of the main kitchen.
Professional range, ventilation and gas
A six-burner professional range with a griddle anchors the cooking wall. A range like this needs a properly sized gas line, a dedicated electrical circuit and a ventilation insert ducted to the outside, all planned with the plaster hood and the cabinets.
Plans and permits for a kitchen remodel in DC
Every kitchen remodel in Washington, DC starts with measurements, drawings and a plan for the layout, appliances and finishes. Kitchen remodels that move plumbing, gas or electrical work typically need permits from the DC Department of Buildings, and parts of Kalorama are historic districts, so exterior changes can need extra review. We prepare the plans, apply for the permits and schedule the inspections.
