A recent Gr8Kitchens projectExpert design. Builder-level knowledge. Dealer pricing.
Most online cabinet stores drop new boxes into the same old footprint. We redesign the room. We know how kitchens get built.
Designed by a builder's team
Gr8Kitchens is a division of Zen Build and Remodel LLC, a licensed North Carolina building company with 20+ years of experience. We catch the clearance, filler and appliance problems that ruin DIY designs.
Your design retainer pays you back
Your retainer is credited toward your cabinetry. Add our low-overhead dealer pricing on four lines and you get expert design plus the best value on cabinets.
Real layout changes, not just cabinet swaps
We open kitchens to living areas, relocate doorways, sinks and ranges, and plan around walls, including load-bearing ones, with beams and headers in mind.
100% virtual, one expert throughout
No showroom trips. The same designer works with you by video from the first sketch through order review and freight delivery, wherever you live.
We redesign the room, walls included.
The kitchens that change how a home lives usually change the floor plan. That's our specialty.
- Open a closed kitchen to the living or dining room
- Remove, move or widen walls and doorways, load-bearing included
- Relocate the sink, range or refrigerator for a better work zone
- Add an island, pantry wall or coffee bar where none fit before
We flag structural walls and beam needs early. Structural work is engineered, permitted and built locally by a licensed contractor using our drawings.

Tell us about your project
Fill out a short form and tell us what isn't working: tight walkways, a closed-off kitchen, not enough storage, a wall you wish weren't there.
Intro video call
We talk through how you cook and live, your budget, and how far you're willing to go, from a cabinet swap to a full layout change.
Secure your design with a retainer
A design retainer reserves your designer's time. It's credited toward your cabinetry when you place your order with us.
Layout & 3D design
We rethink the space: moving or opening walls, relocating the sink or range, adding an island. You get a floor plan, elevations, 3D renderings and an itemized quote.
Refine until it's right
We revise the layout, door styles, colors and cabinet line with you until the plan works and fits your budget.
Order & ship to your door
When you approve, we place the order, apply your retainer credit and coordinate freight delivery anywhere in the continental U.S.

Common questions
How does virtual kitchen design work?
You send measurements and photos, meet a designer by video, start your project with a design retainer, and receive a reworked layout, 3D design, floor plan and itemized quote. We revise it with you until it's right, then ship your cabinets to your door. You never have to visit a showroom.
How does the design retainer work?
Design starts with a retainer that reserves your designer's time for layout planning, 3D renderings and revisions. When you order your cabinetry through Gr8Kitchens, the retainer is credited toward your cabinet purchase, so serious clients effectively get the design work as part of their order.
Can you design a layout that moves or removes walls?
Yes, and it's where we're strongest. Gr8Kitchens is part of a licensed building company, so we plan layout changes the way a builder would: opening kitchens to living spaces, relocating doorways, and removing or moving walls, including load-bearing walls. We flag structural walls early and plan for beams, headers and plumbing or venting changes. Structural work must be engineered and permitted locally and built by a licensed contractor in your area. We design with that in mind and give your engineer and contractor clear drawings to work from.
Do you ship everywhere?
We ship throughout the continental United States by freight carrier to your home or jobsite. Delivery timing depends on the line, door style and your location — we confirm it in writing with your quote.
What if my measurements are off?
Before ordering, your designer reviews every wall, window, door and appliance dimension with you. For complex rooms we recommend having your installer verify measurements against the final drawings before you approve the order.
