Custom Kitchen

Do you like the idea of a custom kitchen and want one of your own? Make that dream space an affordable reality with Performance Kitchens. Let us show you how we can incorporate luxurious elements to any kitchen on almost any reasonable budget.


Your home deserves a cooking and eating space that creates an elegant ambiance. Our dedicated design team can create a customized space that reflects your interests, cooking and entertaining style, family needs and personal tastes.

A custom kitchen need not be the most opulent. Nearly everyone has a budget ceiling, and we delight in working with customers to set priorities and maximize their investment. Granite, for example, has become ubiquitous, yet it comes in many grades – and it is certainly not the only countertop option. Kitchen cabinets also come in a nearly endless array of styles, features and finishes along many price points.

We create designs along a wide spectrum, from basic to luxe, with an unparalleled level of personal service and professionalism. With our proprietary six-step process, we will work with you to design a beautiful and functional space that expresses who you are and what you wish to achieve.

Constructing a custom kitchen is about using creativity and the depth of resources available to experienced designers like Performance Kitchens. As part of our unique six-step kitchen remodeling process, we ask such questions as:

• How often do you entertain, and on what scale? You might desire a large wine refrigerator, double dishwashers or more prep space.
• Are you a serious cook or an avid baker? Your design features will differ according to what you enjoy preparing.
• Do you buy in bulk? If so, you might want a large freezer and a more expansive pantry.
• Would you like to show off your collection of cookbooks or china? You may require custom-crafted shelves, bookcases or simply more counter space.
• Does your custom kitchen plan include multimedia needs? We can integrate it into your design.
• What are your task lighting needs for preparing food, reading recipes or creating a festive mood?
• If you have children or other family members who are unable to reach high places easily, we can suggest installing such features as a microwave oven and snack drawers at their level.

Our unique process transforms your wish list of most coveted features into a custom cabinet design and detailed plans for your kitchen contractor to follow. It also allows you to see amazingly lifelike computer images of the room including a detailed cabinet plan, color schemes and design features from several vantage points. This ensures that the perfect room of your imagination is precisely visualized, along with measurements and specifications.

We can design custom a kitchen using the best craftspeople and contractors available. We can also advise you on hot dream kitchen design features and luxury materials such as:

• All available species of cabinetry wood
