Kitchen Transformation in Melrose, MA

Complete Kitchen Makeover with Premium Quality and Attention to Detail!

When our Melrose homeowners contacted us about updating their kitchen, they were looking for a comprehensive transformation that would modernize their space while improving functionality. New England Painting and Contracting delivered with a complete renovation that touched every aspect of their kitchen.

The Challenge

Our clients had been living with an outdated kitchen that no longer met their needs. The space featured worn cabinets, dated countertops, and an inefficient layout that included an outdated desk area that went unused. The flooring showed signs of wear, and the electrical system needed updating to accommodate modern appliances and lighting.


"We wanted a complete refresh," our client explained during the initial consultation. "Something that would not only look beautiful but function better for our family's daily needs."


Our Comprehensive Approach

After a thorough assessment of the space, our team developed a detailed renovation plan that addressed every aspect of the kitchen:

  1. Cabinet Transformation: We professionally sprayed all kitchen cabinets for a flawless, factory-quality finish that's both beautiful and durable. Our specialized cabinet painting process transforms dated cabinetry into stunning focal points without the cost of replacement.
  2. Hardware Upgrade: We installed new contemporary hardware throughout, along with soft-close hinges for a modern, quiet kitchen experience.
  3. Increased Functionality: The outdated desk area was removed and replaced with additional cabinetry and counter space, significantly improving storage and work surface options.
  4. Premium Surfaces: New quartz countertops were installed, providing a luxurious look with the practical benefits of stain resistance and durability.
  5. Stylish Backsplash: A new backsplash was installed, adding visual interest and a custom touch to the space.
  6. Complete Appliance Upgrade: All new appliances were installed, bringing modern technology and energy efficiency to the kitchen.
  7. Electrical Updates: We updated the electrical system to safely accommodate the new appliances and improved lighting options.
  8. Floor Restoration: The existing hardwood floors were professionally refinished, bringing warmth and continuity to the space.
  9. Fresh Paint Throughout: The ceiling, walls, and trim received fresh paint, completing the transformation with a clean, cohesive look.

The Transformation Process

Our skilled team approached this project methodically, beginning with the removal of the outdated desk area and reconfiguration of the cabinet layout. Our cabinet specialists then carefully prepped and sprayed all cabinetry, achieving a smooth, professional finish that looks factory new.


While the cabinetry work was underway, our licensed electricians updated the wiring to meet current codes and accommodate the new appliance layout. The countertop installation followed, with precise measurements ensuring a perfect fit for the new quartz surfaces.

The backsplash installation added personality to the space, while our flooring experts breathed new life into the hardwood floors through professional refinishing. The project culminated with expert painting of the ceiling, walls, and trim, bringing fresh color and a polished look to the entire space.

The Result

The finished kitchen is virtually unrecognizable from its starting point. The professionally sprayed cabinets with new hardware and soft-close hinges provide both beauty and functionality. The removal of the outdated desk created valuable additional storage and counter space that better serves the family's needs.


The new quartz countertops and coordinating backsplash create a cohesive, designer look, while the refinished hardwood floors add warmth and character. Updated electrical work safely powers the all-new suite of appliances, and fresh paint throughout completes the transformation.


"It's remarkable how much more functional and beautiful our kitchen is now," our client shared. "The sprayed cabinets look brand new, the soft-close hinges are a game-changer, and having that unused desk converted to usable space has made such a difference in how we use the kitchen."

Transforming Exteriors with Carpentry Repair & House Painting At New England Painting and Contracting, we are passionate about breathing new life into homes, making them shine with renewed beauty and strength. Our recent project in Melrose, MA, perfectly showcases this dedication, where we tackled a house exterior in dire need of some tender care. The home was showing its age, with rotting clapboards and trim that cried out for attention. Our carpenters swiftly got to work, removing the decayed wood and replacing it with robust new materials. This essential carpentry work set the stage for a remarkable transformation. Once the carpentry was complete, our focus shifted to priming and painting. We selected top-tier Benjamin Moore products to ensure not only a stunning finish but also one that will endure the test of time. The primer laid down a solid foundation, allowing the paint to achieve a flawless look and long-lasting protection against the elements.
