Popular Cabinet Choices in Monmouth County
White Shaker Cabinets
The most requested style across all Monmouth County communities. Clean lines work with any architectural style, bright appearance maximizes light, and timeless appeal maintains resale value.
Custom Wood Cabinets
High-end homes in Rumson, Little Silver, and Oceanport often feature cherry, maple, or walnut custom cabinetry with detailed joinery, integrated appliance panels, and specialized storage.
Two-Tone Designs
Increasingly popular with white uppers and navy, gray, or wood-tone lowers. Creates visual interest with the island in contrasting color as focal point.
Countertop Selections for Coastal Homes
Quartz
Our most recommended material for Monmouth County kitchens. Non-porous surface resists moisture and staining, never requires sealing, and is ideal for high-humidity coastal environments. Wide price range ($60-120 per square foot installed).
Granite
Traditional choice for luxury homes with natural stone beauty and unique patterns. Extremely durable but requires periodic sealing (annually in coastal environment). Investment piece for resale value.
Marble
Statement countertops in high-end renovations with elegant, timeless appearance. Popular for islands or baking stations but requires careful maintenance.
Flooring That Handles Shore Living
Luxury Vinyl Plank
100% waterproof, handles tracked-in water and sand, realistic wood appearance. Affordable at $4-8 per square foot installed.
Porcelain Tile
Impervious to moisture, handles heavy traffic, works with radiant heat. Excellent for resale value.
Engineered Hardwood
More stable than solid hardwood in coastal humidity. Real wood veneer with authentic appearance.
Working with Historic Homes
Many Monmouth County communities feature homes from the late 1800s through early 1900s. Renovating these kitchens requires preserving character while adding modern function:
Preserving Character
- • Maintaining original architectural details where possible
- • Selecting materials that complement the home's era
- • Working with historical commissions in designated districts
- • Balancing modern function with period aesthetics
Structural Considerations
- • Older homes may have lower ceilings requiring creative solutions
- • Structural walls limiting layout flexibility
- • Outdated electrical systems needing upgrades (60-100 amp service)
- • Plumbing that may require rerouting

What Our Monmouth County Customers Say
"Chris and his team did an amazing job at installing hardwood floors on the second floor of our house. He was extremely reliable and responsive throughout the process. We were away while the floors were installed and I completely trusted his team to complete the work. He called to give me updates along the way and sent photos as well. He is clearly a perfectionist. Prices were very competitive. We love our new floors. I highly recommend!!!"
