Hi there, and welcome to your dream kitchen journey! We’re Burrini & Sons—a family-owned remodeling company with deep roots in Morris County, New Jersey—and we’ve been transforming kitchens into warm, functional, and breathtaking spaces for decades.
This isn’t just a guide. It’s a conversation. A roadmap. And a collection of everything we’ve learned from helping families like yours turn outdated kitchens into the heart of their homes.
So grab a cup of coffee (or glass of wine—we don’t judge), and let’s dive into everything you need to know before saying, “Let’s remodel!”
Thinking About a Kitchen Remodel in Morris County?
Let me tell you a quick story.
Last fall, we worked with a family in Chester. Their kitchen hadn’t been updated since the ‘90s. White laminate counters, boxy oak cabinets, zero flow. They hosted Thanksgiving every year, and squeezing between the island and the fridge had become a family joke.
After the remodel? Let's just say Thanksgiving now comes with compliments on the kitchen more than the turkey.
Kitchen remodeling isn’t just about style—it’s about lifestyle.
In Morris County, where many homes were built between the ‘60s and ‘90s, outdated layouts and inefficient designs are common. Remodeling doesn’t just beautify; it:
Increases home value (85–95% ROI in NJ!)
Boosts energy efficiency
Improves daily comfort and function
Makes entertaining actually enjoyable
And let’s be real—after the last few years, your kitchen deserves to sparkle like the rest of your ambitions.
Everything You Need to Know Before You Start Your Kitchen Remodeling
Okay, let’s get into the nitty-gritty—but we’ll keep it digestible.
1. Set Clear Goals
Ask yourself:
What’s frustrating about my current kitchen?
How do I want to feel in the new space?
Do I need better storage, better light, or a better layout?
2. Define Your Budget
In Morris County, remodeling can range:
$25K–$40K for basic upgrades
$50K–$75K for a mid-range remodel
$100K+ for high-end, customized renovations
(Yes, we’ve done kitchens that make your jaw drop. And yes, we also love creating magic on a tight budget.)
3. Find the Right Team
This isn’t a DIY YouTube moment—trust us. Choose a licensed local contractor (hi 👋), verify insurance, and ask for references from Morris County clients.
Pro tip: We always say, “If your contractor doesn’t ask about your lifestyle, run!” Because remodeling is personal.

Kitchen Layouts Explained: What Works Best in Your Home?
Layouts are like shoes. What fits one space won’t work in another.
🟩 One-Wall
Great for small spaces and apartments. Everything is on one wall—simple, sleek, and functional.
🟨 Galley
Two parallel counters. Efficient for tight areas but can feel narrow. Best for serious cooks who prioritize workflow.
🟧 L-Shape
A Morris County classic. Perfect for open concepts and medium-sized kitchens.
🟥 U-Shape
Wraps around three walls—ideal for large families or people who love to host.
⬜ Island or Peninsula
The holy grail. Adds counter space, seating, and that “gather-round-the-kitchen” vibe.
Real Talk: In Mendham, we remodeled a 1980s U-shaped kitchen into an L-shape with a floating island. The couple? Still sends us Christmas cards every year.

Common Remodeling Mistakes (And How We Help You Avoid Them)
We’ve seen it all. And by “all,” we mean this list:
❌ Mistake #1: Rushing the Planning Stage
Remodeling without a game plan is like baking without a recipe.
Our fix: We walk through every detail—lighting, outlets, even the path your refrigerator door swings.
❌ Mistake #2: Moving Plumbing Without Reason
That island sink may look dreamy—but moving pipes = $$$.
Our fix: We balance your wish list with what makes sense for your space and budget.
❌ Mistake #3: Going Trend-Overload
Trends come and go. Your kitchen needs to live well beyond TikTok.
Our fix: We help you mix timeless design with just the right dash of flair.
2025 Design Trends Taking Over Morris County (and How to Use Them Wisely)
If you’ve been stalking Pinterest boards, you’ve seen it:
Earthy neutrals replacing stark whites
Matte black hardware adding contrast
Quartz countertops beating out marble for durability
Smart kitchens with voice-controlled lights or faucets (yes, really)
But trends should inspire, not dictate.
For example, in Randolph, we recently remodeled a kitchen using sage green cabinetry and gold hardware—fresh, classy, and future-proof.
Permits, Codes & NJ Legal Must-Knows
Here’s something most articles skip: Permits.
In Morris County, towns like Morristown and Denville require permits for:
Structural changes
Electrical work
Plumbing changes
Layout modifications
We handle permits for you. No line-standing. No town hall chaos. That’s the Burrini way.
