Kitchen designers who think like builders
Gr8Kitchens is the virtual design and cabinet division of Zen Build and Remodel LLC, a licensed North Carolina building company. Our founder has 20+ years of experience building and remodeling homes, starting in New Jersey and in Charlotte since 2020.
Why we started Gr8Kitchens
After two decades of building homes and remodeling kitchens, we saw the same problems again and again: homeowners overpaying at showrooms, online cabinet orders arriving with the wrong fillers, and designs that looked great on screen but didn't work on the jobsite.
Gr8Kitchens fixes that. We redesign kitchens the way a builder would, including moving walls when the room calls for it. We combine real construction know-how with the convenience of online design and the pricing advantages of a lean, distributor-direct business — and we ship anywhere in the continental U.S.
What we believe
- Great design is practical design. Every layout is reviewed with installation in mind.
- Honest advice beats upselling. We carry four lines so we can recommend the right one.
- Value matters. A beautiful kitchen shouldn't require a luxury budget.
- Clear pricing. Itemized quotes, no surprises, and your design retainer is credited toward your cabinets.

Personal design, from anywhere in the country
Every Gr8Kitchens project gets my personal attention, from the first video call to the day your cabinets arrive.
We meet on video, look at your room together and talk through how you really use your kitchen. Then I rework the layout, select finishes and hardware, and build 3D renderings so you can see the finished space before anything is ordered. Because I've built kitchens for two decades, the plan you approve is one your installer can actually build.
- Video calls on your schedule
- Finishes, stone and hardware coordinated with your cabinets
- 3D renderings and revisions until it's right
