Kitchen Renovation in Rutherford, NJ
Kitchen renovation in Rutherford, NJ with custom cabinets, quartz countertops, and professional installation by MB Millwork.
Project Overview
MB Millwork recently completed a kitchen renovation in Rutherford, NJ, for a 13' x 14' kitchen that needed better storage, brighter finishes, and a layout that felt easier to use every day. We installed shop-built custom cabinets in a soft almond white, a 6' rift oak island with seating for three, quartz countertops, and a full-height matte ceramic backsplash. The finished space now has a cleaner flow, more usable prep space, and a look that fits the rest of the home.
The Problem
Before the renovation, the Rutherford kitchen had dark cherry cabinets, a narrow prep area, and a peninsula that cut into the main walkway. The counter surfaces were worn, storage was limited, and the room felt a little boxed in during cooking and cleanup. The homeowners wanted a fresh, more functional space without changing the footprint too much.
The Challenge
The kitchen had a low soffit over the refrigerator wall and a side entry door that limited cabinet depth on one run. The homeowners also wanted a larger island, so the design had to improve circulation while still adding seating and storage.
Our Solution
We built a custom 3D plan and fabricated the cabinetry in our Lyndhurst shop to dial in the measurements before installation. The project used painted maple perimeter cabinets, a rift oak island, soft-close hinges and drawer slides, and quartz tops with subtle gray veining. We also added a slim pantry tower, pull-out trash storage, and a backsplash installed full height behind the range for a cleaner finish.
The Result
The completed kitchen feels brighter, more open, and easier to move through. The almond white cabinets and oak island give the room a balanced look, while the new layout makes cooking and cleanup much simpler. The updated materials also bring a more polished feel to the entire first floor.
“The kitchen feels more open and organized, and the cabinets were built with real attention to detail. MB Millwork made the whole process straightforward from design to install.”
Client Outcome
The homeowners now use the kitchen for weekday dinners, coffee in the morning, and weekend hosting without feeling crowded. They like having better storage and a bigger island for prep and casual meals.
