Adding a new island to an existing kitchen, or building one in as part of a full remodel, with cabinetry, countertop and often seating and utilities.
Kitchen island installation, island addition and island seating all describe adding a center island to an existing or remodeled kitchen. Beyond extra counter space, an island often brings seating, storage and sometimes a sink or cooktop, which is where clearance and utility planning matter most for Lake Charles kitchens.
An island is more than a box with a countertop; utilities and clearance matter.
Enough walking room around all sides of the island, typically at least a few feet, keeps the kitchen functional rather than cramped.
An island sink, cooktop or outlets need plumbing and electrical run under the existing floor or slab, which is more involved than a perimeter cabinet.
An overhang for bar seating needs proper support brackets or corbels sized to the overhang length and expected weight.
We assess your kitchen footprint and clearance for an island.
Size, cabinetry, countertop and any utilities are planned.
Plumbing and electrical are run under the floor if needed.
Cabinetry, countertop and fixtures are installed.
We check clearance and fixture function with you before calling the job done.
Adding a sink, cooktop or extra outlets to the island adds plumbing and electrical cost beyond a cabinetry-only island.
Larger islands need more countertop material, and premium materials add to the total.
Bar seating with proper support brackets adds a modest cost over a simple island.
Running utilities under an existing floor or slab adds labor beyond an open subfloor.
