Where is the most common place household members congregate? Spoiler alert: it’s the kitchen. Whether the scene is the kids doing homework at the island while you prep dinner, guests lingering over wine long after the dishes are done or that first cup of coffee in the morning, your kitchen sees it all.

Gerstad Builders understands that the kitchen makes or breaks the home. We’ve spent years figuring out what actually works in real life, not just what looks pretty in magazines. Because at the end of the day, your kitchen should work as hard as you do.

What Makes a Gourmet Kitchen Special

True culinary spaces go beyond quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances! The finest kitchens blend intelligent planning with quality materials to create areas that handle everything from quick weeknight meals to elaborate holiday feasts. Premium appliances, generous storage and thoughtful layouts transform cooking from daily drudgery into genuine pleasure.

Gerstad Builders delivers flexible, stylish kitchen spaces that balance elegance with practicality, ensuring every element serves a real purpose. From outlet placement to counter height, we plan with actual buyers in mind to provide a kitchen that is beautiful and highly functional.

Gerstad Builders Signature Kitchen Features

Our foundation package starts with island-centered plans that encourage open concept living while establishing natural gathering spots. These islands function as study areas, casual dining surfaces and party hubs that keep everyone connected.

Standard over-the-range microwaves are included, though homeowners have the option to upgrade to built-in appliance suites. Select from timeless styles or contemporary industrial workstation looks that bring professional functionality home!

Our personalization possibilities let you tailor your space to match your lifestyle:

• Add waste basket storage,
• Replace standard base units with drawer configurations,
• Specific cabinet modifications upon request,
• Ceramic backsplashes spotlighting contemporary color palettes,
• Various cabinet handle collections,
• Soft-close mechanisms,
• Sophisticated crown molding options,
• Overlay doors in modern hues and
• Optional microwave drawers.

In your Gerstad Builders home, the coffee ritual becomes smoother, dinner preparation flows more naturally, and holiday entertaining feels effortless.
