Serving Chittenden County, Vermont
Kitchen Remodeling in Chittenden County, Vermont
The kitchen is the most-used room in most homes, and usually the first one that shows its age. I'm Tim Chila , we remodel kitchens across Chittenden County around how you actually cook, gather, and live, with custom cabinetry built by hand.
What We Do
A Kitchen Built Around How You Live
A kitchen remodel changes how you cook, how you entertain, and honestly how the whole house feels day to day. It's worth getting right. We handle every part of it in-house , cabinetry, countertops, tile, layout, finish carpentry , so one team carries one standard from demolition to the final detail.
What sets our kitchens apart is the cabinetry. Custom woodworking is what Tradecraft VT was built on, so your cabinets are milled and built by hand to fit your space exactly , not standard boxes you arrange your kitchen around. The odd wall, the awkward corner, the exact run of counter you need: built to fit, not bought to almost-fit.
Every kitchen starts with an open-book estimate so you know the number before we begin, and we don't consider it done until you've run your hands over every finish and told us it's right.
Scope of Work
Everything Your Kitchen Needs, Under One Roof

Countertops
Measured, fabricated, and installed as part of the full project , the surface tied properly to the cabinetry below it, not an afterthought.

Tile & Backsplash
Custom tile from layout through grouting , subway, herringbone, or a pattern of your own , set properly so it looks right and lasts.

Layout & Reconfiguration
Reworking the footprint so the kitchen actually flows , moving the island, opening a wall, fixing the work triangle that never made sense.

Flooring
Hardwood, tile, or LVP installed to match and complement your new kitchen, with the subfloor done right underneath.
