Our Services

Kitchen islands do more than look good. We handle every aspect of the build.

Island Design and Layout

Your island should fit your kitchen flow and how you cook. In Metairie, we work with your existing layout—whether you have a galley, open plan, or tight galley-style kitchen.

We'll discuss seating capacity, storage needs, and whether you want a range, sink, or prep surface on the island. Some homes work best with a portable island. Others need a permanent, anchored build.

This step matters most. A good design now saves frustration and rework later.

Structural Framing and Support

An island needs a solid frame. We build to code, ensuring the structure holds weight from counters, seating, and daily use.

In Metairie, humidity can swell wood, so we choose materials that resist moisture and warping. We use proper fastening and bracing to keep everything level and stable long-term.

Electrical and Plumbing Integration

Islands often need power for appliances, task lighting, or charging ports. Some need water and drainage for a sink.

We run circuits and lines safely within the island frame, hide wiring neatly, and coordinate with licensed electricians and plumbers if needed. Every connection meets local Metairie code requirements.

Countertops and Cabinet Installation

Counters and cabinets are the visible side of your island. We install them level, secure, and finished clean.

Whether you choose quartz, granite, or laminate, we seal seams, attach properly, and make sure drawers and doors operate smoothly. You'll notice the craftsmanship right away.

Seating and Bar Overhang

A kitchen island with seating becomes a gathering spot. We build overhangs for barstools, add footrests if you want them, and ensure comfortable elbow room.

The overhang needs proper support underneath. We frame it so you get seating that's both safe and comfortable for casual dining or entertaining.

Finishing Touches

We paint or stain the island frame, add crown molding or trim if you want it, and install hardware that matches your kitchen style.

Finishing details—lighting, back panels, decorative brackets—are what make the island feel like it belongs in your space, not like an addition.

Why It Matters

A kitchen island changes how your family uses the space. The right build makes all the difference.

Adds Real Value to Your Home

A well-built island is one of the few kitchen upgrades that buyers notice and homeowners use daily.

In Metairie, where kitchens are central to home life, an island shows thoughtful design and quality work. It signals that the rest of the home was built right too.

A well-executed island improves kitchen flow and increases home resale appeal.

Improves Your Kitchen Function

More counter space means less clutter. Seating turns your kitchen into an entertaining hub.

Extra storage keeps your daily tools accessible. Electrical and plumbing hookups let you run a cooktop, sink, or coffee station from the island.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about kitchen islands in Metairie.

How long does a kitchen island installation take?

Most islands take 2–4 weeks from design to finish, depending on size, electrical/plumbing complexity, and material lead times.

Do I need a permit for a kitchen island in Metairie?

Yes, if the island includes plumbing or electrical work. We handle all permitting and inspections for you.

Can you add a sink or cooktop to the island?

Yes, both work well. We run water, gas, and drainage lines through the island frame for a clean, integrated look.

What's the best material for a kitchen island countertop?

Quartz and granite are durable and stain-resistant. Butcher block adds warmth but needs sealing. We'll help you weigh durability, look, and maintenance.

How much overhang should the island seating have?

Typically 12–15 inches for comfortable barstool seating, with adequate knee space. We'll confirm exact measurements for your layout.

What if my kitchen is small? Can I still add an island?

Yes. A smaller, mobile island or a compact fixed design works great for tight spaces. We'll sketch options that won't feel cramped.
