Kitchen Design & Remodeling
A Thoughtful Approach to Kitchen Remodeling
A kitchen remodel is one of the most impactful improvements you can make to your home. It’s the room where function, design, and craftsmanship come together in a space you use every single day. David Hecht Custom Kitchens & Baths treats kitchen remodeling as a fully guided design process, walking you from first concepts through final selections, then bringing in trusted independent contractors to complete the build.
As a third-generation, family-owned business serving Connecticut and Rhode Island
homeowners since 1957, we bring decades of experience, thoughtful planning, and a level of care that comes from doing this work for generations.
Full-Service Kitchen Design
A lot of homeowners think they need to hire a separate kitchen designer before they can even
start a remodel. With David Hecht Kitchens, design is already built into the process.
We handle the full design under one roof: layout, cabinetry, materials, and finishes, all coordinated from concept to final plan. Once the design is locked in, vetted independent
contractor partners come in to handle the build.
The whole approach is built to keep things moving without surprises along the way.
Remodeling Existing Kitchens & New Construction
Most of our work involves transforming older kitchens into spaces that actually fit how people live today. Cramped layouts, not enough storage, and dated materials are the everyday
problems we solve in Connecticut and Rhode Island homes.
We don’t just swap out finishes and leave. We rethink the entire space, improving flow, usability, and how the kitchen feels long after the remodel is done. Our team also designs kitchens for
new construction, working closely with homeowners and builders to plan the kitchen right from the ground up.
Whether it’s a remodel or a new build, the result is a kitchen that feels intentional, carefully planned, and well-suited to the home.
Options & Furnishings
Flooring
The foundation of any bathroom or kitchen update begins with flooring. From exotic hardwoods like Brazilian Walnut to luxurious marble, your flooring affects the overall aesthetic of a room.
Countertops
Both style and function is taken into consideration with your choice of countertops. Selections of natural stone, quartz, concrete, and butcher block are great options for an upscale look that sets the tone for your space.
Cabinetry
Fully custom cabinets allow you to really make your space personalized. Go warm and rustic or light and contemporary – we can create whatever you envision.
Sinks & Faucets
As arguably the most used feature in any kitchen or bath, stylish sinks with coordinated faucets exude your unique taste. Explore modern and traditional designs along with smart touches to enhance functionality.
Lighting
Light fixtures really set the ambience of a room and tie everything together elegantly. From recessed lighting to gorgeous overhead pendants, your space will feel both inviting and exclusive.
Hardware
The aesthetic of cabinets and drawers is enhanced by distinctive hardware that’s uniquely yours. Choose from oversized handles or opt for discreet integrated pulls to set the right tone – whether modern, traditional, or somewhere in between.
A Thoughtful, Collaborative Design Process
Every kitchen remodel begins with listening. We take the time to understand how you use your kitchen, what you’d like to change, and what matters most to you.
From there, we guide you through every key decision: layout, cabinetry, countertops, lighting, finishes, and everything in between. The goal is to help you make informed choices that balance how it looks, how it functions, and what it costs. As we coordinate design with construction, every decision gets made with the actual build in mind, which keeps projects efficient and grounded in reality.
Quality, Experience & Respect for Your Home
A kitchen remodel is a long-term investment, and quality is what determines how the space performs and ages. We focus on thoughtful design, careful material selection, and gorgeous cabinetry built to hold up to daily life.
Our long-standing relationships with trusted suppliers and appliance partners give clients a clear path to premium products without the usual overwhelm. We’re not here to push trends or brand names. We’re here to design kitchens that feel timeless, work hard, and stand the test of time.

Kitchen Remodeling FAQs
The questions we hear most often from homeowners across Connecticut – answered honestly.
How long does a typical kitchen remodel take?
Kitchen remodeling timelines can vary depending on the scope of work. Many of our projects involve removing walls, reconfiguring layouts, relocating windows, and fully renovating the space down to the studs. Projects of this nature typically take around 2–3 months to complete.
What is included in a full kitchen remodeling project?
A full kitchen remodel with David Hecht Kitchens includes more than just cabinetry. Clients can visit our kitchen showroom to select materials and finishes while we design a space tailored to their needs and lifestyle. We coordinate the installation process and work closely with a trusted network of contractors, including electricians, plumbers, flooring specialists, and countertop installers. From initial design through final installation, we help ensure a smooth, well-organized remodeling experience.

We work closely with homeowners and trusted contractors to help create kitchens that are more open, functional, and tailored to the way the family lives.
Do you handle the entire remodeling project, or just the kitchen installation?
We can accommodate projects in various ways. Some clients work with us solely for kitchen design and cabinetry, while others prefer a more comprehensive approach, where we coordinate the remodeling process and work alongside trusted contractors to manage the project from start to finish.
Can I live in my home during a kitchen remodel?
In many cases, yes. We make every effort to maintain a clean, organized jobsite and minimize disruption throughout the kitchen remodeling process. Depending on the scope of work, access to your kitchen may be limited at times.
