Custom Crafted Kitchen

More than 20 years after building their home, these homeowners were ready to reimagine a kitchen that had long felt too small, dark, and inefficient for daily life. The original layout lacked storage, workspace, and natural light, and the flow between adjoining rooms felt constrained. Working closely with the homeowners, our team set out to transform the space into a brighter, more open kitchen designed for modern living and entertaining.

A key part of the renovation was a 92-square-foot rear addition, created by repurposing space from the covered porch. The added footage allowed for a complete reconfiguration of the kitchen, including a larger central island, improved appliance placement, and a dedicated coffee bar station just beyond the breakfast nook. Enhanced with new windows and a sliding patio door, the redesigned kitchen now feels open, light-filled, and highly functional—blending thoughtful craftsmanship with a warm, contemporary aesthetic.

New Build in Harwich Port

“Your professionalism and the way you have made the building process as easy as possible for us has been wonderful. Naturally, all our neighbors and plenty of strangers passing by have asked us about McPhee’s services and our response has consistently been the same – we are very pleased and haven’t even one criticism. We would highly recommend McPhee to anyone – Rob, you have quite the team…On this second anniversary of the start of the project, I wanted to send a sincere thank you to all of you.”
