The Gerstad Builders Promise of Quality
At Gerstad Builders, we understand that a home is the most significant investment you will ever make. Our promise is to build a home complete with gourmet kitchens that not only stand the test of time but also incorporate today’s top design trends.
Every Gerstad Builders buyer enjoys a personalized experience that begins at our Design Center. During your journey, you will meet with our design team to choose the selections that will serve as the structure and backdrop for this new chapter in your life. Whether you prefer a modern aesthetic or a timeless traditional look, our team will help you navigate the process of selecting cabinetry, countertops and finishes that reflect your unique personality. This collaborative approach ensures the heart of your home is tailored to your tastes from the moment you move in.
What Are the Common Features of a Gourmet Kitchen?
Many buyers wonder what distinguishes a standard cooking space from a true gourmet environment. At Gerstad Builders, we bridge that gap by providing high-quality standard features that many other builders consider upgrades. Our gourmet kitchens are designed to be both beautiful and highly functional.
Standard features in a Gerstad Builders kitchen include quartz countertops, birch picture frame cabinets, chrome plumbing fixtures, Dal-tile flooring and more. These elements are not just for show. They are selected because they are the top items on buyer wish lists today. We integrate these trends with practical layouts to ensure your kitchen remains stylish for years to come. By choosing premium materials, we ensure your prep surfaces are durable enough to withstand heavy daily use while maintaining a luxurious feel that impresses visiting friends and families.
Why Is It Important to Choose a Kitchen That Works for You?
Let’s face it: kitchen efficiency can make or break your daily routine. Since the kitchen is the heart of the home, the layout must fit your specific lifestyle. Whether you prioritize entertainment, multifunctional use, accessibility or safety, the right design saves you time and reduces stress.
A well-planned kitchen enables a seamless flow between tasks. When you choose a Gerstad Builders home, you choose a kitchen where the distance between the refrigerator, stove and sink is optimized for movement. This thoughtful planning means you spend less time running around and more time enjoying the process of creating meals for your loved ones.
The Gerstad Builders Kitchen Broken Down Into Zones
Once you move into your new home, maximize your gourmet space by breaking the kitchen into zones. This strategy helps keep the area organized even during the busiest holiday gatherings or hectic weeknight dinners.
- The Prep Zone: This area features ample counter space and easy access to knives, cutting boards and mixing bowls.
- The Cooking Zone: Centered around the range or cooktop, this zone keeps pots, pans and spices within arm’s reach.
- The Clean-up Zone: This area features the sink and dishwasher, ideally located near cabinetry where you store your everyday dishes.
- The Entertaining Zone: Centered around the large island, this space allows guests to sit and chat with the chef without disrupting meal preparation.
- The Work Zone: Many modern families use the kitchen as a secondary office or homework station, so a spot for laptops and charging cables is essential at either the kitchen island or a cleared counter space.
