A Recent Kitchen Project Completed in Maitland, FL Before and After
One of the best ways to understand the impact of a professional remodel is to see the transformation for yourself.
At Kaplan Remodeling, we take pride in turning frustrating, outdated spaces into beautiful, functional kitchens that our clients love.
This is the story of a recent project we completed for a homeowner in Maitland, FL. Their kitchen suffered from common issues like a cramped layout and a dated design, and they were ready for a complete change. Below, you can see the dramatic before-and-after and learn exactly how we achieved this stunning result.
The Challenge: A Cramped Kitchen with an Ugly, Dated Ceiling
The primary issues were clear: an imposing drop-down ceiling with old fluorescent lighting made the room feel small and dark. The layout was inefficient, and the kitchen was walled off, isolating it from the rest of the home. The goal was to create a bright, open, and highly functional space.
The Solution: Open-Concept Design & Custom Details
The Kaplan Remodeling team executed a complete floor-to-ceiling transformation focused on light, space, and functionality.
- Structural Opening: We started by creating a larger opening into the kitchen, instantly breaking down the walls and establishing the open-concept feel the client desired.
- Ceiling & Lighting: The ugly drop-down ceiling was completely removed and replaced with a smooth, flat ceiling featuring modern, energy-efficient recessed lighting.
- Smarter Layout: We strategically relocated the sink and refrigerator, creating a more intuitive workflow and maximizing counter space.
- Custom Cabinetry: We installed sleek, custom European cabinetry, providing ample storage with a clean, contemporary aesthetic.
- Luxury Finishes: Stunning white sparkling quartz countertops were added to reflect light and provide a durable, beautiful workspace. We also integrated stylish floating shelves and under-cabinet LED light strips for perfect task lighting and evening ambiance.
The Result: A 5-Star Review and a Dream Kitchen
The final result is a breathtaking kitchen that is now the true heart of the home. It’s bright, spacious, and perfectly tailored to the homeowner’s lifestyle. This successful project transformed our client’s daily life and earned Kaplan Remodeling another enthusiastic 5-star review.
