Main Line Kitchen Design is a unique business model that specializes in complete kitchen renovations only. We are experts at pricing out your kitchen project simply by asking you questions during a detailed phone call. We are 5 skilled Kitchen Designers with many years of experience planning kitchens around the Delaware Valley. And we are cabinet dealers for 8 nationally distributed cabinet lines much like traditional showrooms. Unlike full showrooms open to the general public, Main Line Kitchen Design works only by appointment. Appointments can be scheduled days, nights, and weekends either in your home or in our office and selection center. During office appointments we display clients kitchens on a flat screen TV and help them look through 100’s of sample door styles, almost a thousand sample finish blocks and sample kitchen cabinets. During home visits we can bring samples, take measurements, and make design changes on laptops showing you what your kitchen can look like in the very room being renovated. This is more convenient for our customers and it eliminates the expense of staffing and maintaining a larger space that is open to walk in traffic. We pass the significant savings on to our customers and so we sell cabinetry for less than other dealers, even home centers like Lowes and The Home Depot. Call today for a detailed estimate on your project over the phone.
"We reached out to Paul and his team at MLKD for help with our kitchen remodel, and they were so professional and detailed during our initial consult that we hired them right away. The MLKD team worked with us tirelessly to make the perfect design and also ensured the procurement and prompt delivery of our cabinets. They also recommended an excellent installation contactor, and we were just thrilled with the end product. Thank you Main Line Kitchen Design!"

Installing a single kitchen cabinet takes about 1.25 hours for professional installation, with an average kitchen usually requiring about 25 to 35 hours of labor to install a full set of cabinets. Custom work can easily take two or three times as long, including the time to design and build the cabinets.
Local cabinet installers who specialize in home remodel finishing work typically install cabinets. You can hire a general handyperson to install most cabinets, but it’s typically recommended to hire a cabinet specialist when installing custom cabinets. If you order your cabinets through a big-box retailer, they often supply the labor as part of the project cost.
The cost of kitting out the average kitchen runs anywhere from $1,340 to $38,400. “Kitting” means to package everything together and is another way to refer to full kitchen remodel costs. In terms of a kitchen, this means remodeling all the cabinets, floors, countertops, appliances, and fixtures at the same time.
Always hang the upper cabinets before installing the lower cabinets. If the lower kitchen cabinets are installed first, it can be challenging to work around them. Plus, if tools or materials are dropped while hanging the upper cabinets, the cabinets already installed beneath them may get damaged.
Base cabinets for kitchen islands and breakfast bars are attached to the floor (down to the underlayment and subfloor). This keeps them from shifting as you lean on them. The cabinet installer uses basic wood screws to secure these cabinets to the floor. However, cabinets that run along a wall don’t need to be fastened. Instead, the contractor secures them to studs in the wall.
