Ghent kitchens often sit in homes from the early 1900s with narrow footprints and original plaster. Remodels here focus on opening tight cooking zones while keeping sight lines to The Hague. Crews from 2601 Colley Ave reach jobs quickly along local streets without crossing the tunnel.
Summer humidity pushes us toward sealed cabinet finishes and proper ventilation over the range. Many properties back up to narrow alleys, so material staging happens on Colley or Llewellyn to avoid blocking traffic. We match new cabinet depths to existing door swings common in these blocks.
Homeowners near Ghent Square frequently request islands that double as work surfaces without crowding the room. We source counter materials that handle daily salt air exposure from the nearby water.

Kitchen Remodel Norfolk in Ghent — Local Notes
- •Historic Ghent homes on Mowbray Arch and surrounding blocks often have knob-and-tube wiring that must be replaced before new appliances are installed.
- •Narrow lots limit dumpster placement, so we schedule daily debris removal to keep sidewalks clear for neighbors.
- •High water table near The Hague requires careful floor leveling before installing new tile or hardwood in kitchens.
- •Hot humid summers mean we run dehumidifiers during cabinet installation to prevent warping of wood components.
