Kitchen Renovations Designed for Everyday Life
MDB Homebuilders, Buford
The kitchen is the center of daily living
Where meals are prepared, conversations happen, and family rhythms unfold. A well-designed kitchen optimizes workflow, storage, and style while using durable materials that make life easier. At MDB Homebuilders, we specialize in kitchen renovations that combine functional planning with quality construction to deliver kitchens that look great and perform reliably for years.
Why kitchen renovations matter
Kitchens serve multiple roles culinary workspace, gathering area, and a key driver of home value. A professional kitchen renovation matters because:
Functionality
Proper layout and efficient work triangles (sink, stove, refrigerator) reduce time and effort during daily use.
Durability
Kitchens experience heavy use; choosing resilient materials and skilled installation prevents premature wear.
Energy efficiency
Upgrading appliances and lighting reduces utility costs and improves performance.
Value addition
Kitchen remodels often produce strong returns on investment, with modern kitchens being a top priority for home buyers.
Lifestyle alignment
A new kitchen can better reflect how your family cooks, entertains, and stores food.

Our kitchen renovation process
Discovery and inspiration
We begin by listening — how you cook, how often you entertain, storage priorities, and style preferences. We gather inspiration photos and discuss budget considerations and must-have features.
Site evaluation and layout options
A full site assessment identifies structural constraints, utility placements, and potential for reconfiguration. We provide layout options illustrating traffic flow, cabinet placement, and island integration where appropriate.
Design refinement and material selection
We recommend cabinetry styles, hardware, countertops, backsplashes, flooring, and lighting. MDB Homebuilders assists with product selections that align with maintenance needs and visual preferences.
Detailed estimate and schedule
Our estimate outlines costs for demolition, cabinetry, countertops, appliances, lighting, plumbing fixtures, labor, and any structural or mechanical work. We also provide a project schedule that coordinates subcontractors and material deliveries.
Construction and finishes
We protect surrounding spaces, conduct demolition carefully, perform required framing or structural modifications, install necessary electrical and plumbing upgrades, and coordinate fixture installations. Our finishing team ensures precise trim, caulking, and sealing for a refined look.
Final walkthrough and care instructions
Upon completion, we review the kitchen with you, demonstrate appliance integration, and provide maintenance and care instructions to maximize longevity.

Durability and maintenance materials we recommend
Cabinetry
Solid construction with plywood boxes, dovetail drawers, and soft-close hinges improves longevity. Powder-coated or thermofoil finishes can be appropriate depending on budget and wear expectations.
Countertops
Quartz countertops offer low maintenance and stain resistance, while granite and engineered stone provide unique natural patterns. Proper sealing and care extend the life of surfaces.
Flooring
Choose durable flooring suitable for spills and foot traffic. Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) is an attractive, water-resistant solution; tile and engineered hardwood offer other aesthetic choices.
Fixtures and finishes
Opt for durable finishes and water-efficient faucets. Matte or satin hardware hides fingerprints better than polished finishes.
Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
How long does a kitchen remodel take?
Most kitchen renovations range from 6–12 weeks. Timelines depend on scope — structural changes and custom cabinetry may extend schedules. We provide a detailed timeline at proposal which considers material lead times.
Can you work with my chosen appliances?
Yes. We can source appliances or work with your selections. We advise on required clearances, ventilation needs, and electrical or gas upgrades required for specific models.
Do you handle lighting and electrical upgrades?
Yes. Kitchen remodels often involve updated lighting plans that require licensed electricians. We coordinate new circuits, lighting controls, and code-compliant installations.
What should I budget for a kitchen renovation?
Budgets vary widely. A basic remodel might start in the low tens of thousands, while mid-range and high-end projects scale accordingly. We provide itemized estimates and help prioritize options for best value.
Will you match new cabinetry to existing home style?
Absolutely. We select cabinet styles, trim, and finishes that harmonize with the home’s architecture, or we can introduce intentional contrast for a contemporary update.
How do you protect my home during construction?
We protect floors, doorways, and adjacent rooms with dust barriers and cover surfaces. Our crews maintain organized sites and clean up daily to minimize disruption.
