Your kitchen has to work for busy mornings, everyday meals and time with family and friends. We start by understanding what gets in the way, whether that is limited prep space, awkward traffic flow or storage that no longer fits your needs.
During design, we work through the layout, cabinetry, surfaces and details together so you can review the plan before remodeling begins. Custom cabinetry allows storage to fit your space instead of forcing your routines around standard sizes.

Kitchen remodelers in Rochester who handle design and remodeling together
Many Rochester homeowners begin by comparing kitchen remodelers, cabinet shops and designers separately. At Elias Construction those roles sit inside one team. Our designers draw your plan in-house, our sister shop crafts the cabinetry in Byron, and a dedicated project manager coordinates every trade from demolition to the final walk-through.
Keeping design and remodeling together means the decisions you make at the drawing table are the decisions carried out in your home. There is no hand-off between a designer, a cabinet supplier and a separate crew, and no one to blame if a measurement is missed.
High-end and custom kitchen remodels
A custom kitchen remodel goes well beyond new doors and countertops. Most of the kitchens we design rethink the layout itself: enlarging or relocating an island, opening a wall to the dining room, adding a walk-in pantry or moving appliances so more than one person can cook comfortably.
High-end finishes matter, but the details that make a kitchen feel custom are often quieter. Drawers sized for your cookware, a coffee station near the breakfast table, tall pantry storage that keeps counters clear and lighting layered for cooking and gathering all come from planning around how you actually live.
Because our cabinetry is crafted to your measurements, we are not limited to standard box sizes. Walnut waterfall islands, painted inset doors, furniture-style hutches and paneled appliances all appear in the Rochester-area kitchens below.
A kitchen renovation that connects the whole main floor
In many Rochester homes the kitchen is tied to the dining room, mudroom, laundry and living space around it. A kitchen renovation is often the right moment to address those connected rooms too, from extending hardwood floors to reworking a half bath or entry. We plan the main floor as a whole so the finished kitchen feels like it belongs to the rest of the home.

Investing in a kitchen remodel
Most full kitchen remodels we design start around $100,000. Your final investment depends on the size of the space, whether walls, plumbing or windows move, and the cabinetry, countertops, lighting and appliances you select.
That investment includes in-house design and drafting, custom cabinetry from our own shop, project management and the remodeling work itself. Before anything begins you receive a fixed-price proposal priced to the penny, so you know the full scope and cost up front rather than discovering it through change orders.
Kitchens are interior projects, so they also include a Guaranteed Completion Date. Elias Construction has been named Best of the Best by the Post Bulletin every year since 2013, has earned People’s Choice honors three times on the Remodeler’s Tour, and is licensed, insured and EPA Lead-Safe certified.
“We worked with Elias Construction to renovate our 1950s kitchen and are so glad we did. Their attention to detail, extremely high quality, and reliable process exceeded our expectations.”
“Their designer was so fun and easy to work with and gave great guidance to achieve our desired outcome. The cabinetry is beautiful, durable and functional.”
