Interior architecture
Layout, cabinetry, stone, lighting and appliances resolved as one project by one accountable team — not five separate trades you have to coordinate yourself.
The approach
A kitchen remodel almost always reaches past its own four walls. A wall comes down and the dining room changes. New lighting means new circuits. A wider opening means a header, and a header means structure.
Delpa plans the whole chain before demolition starts, so the cabinet run, the floor transition, the outlet placement and the ceiling line all agree by the time the last trade leaves. That single point of responsibility is the reason the finish reads as one thought rather than a sequence of compromises.
What the work covers
Every item below is handled by Delpa rather than handed to a chain of separate contractors you have to manage yourself.
Walls opened or moved, headers set, islands positioned around the way the room is actually used.
Cabinet selection, layout and installation, with countertop templating and fitting coordinated to the same schedule.
Circuits, outlets, under-cabinet lighting and fixtures planned with the cabinet run rather than after it.
Sink, dishwasher and appliance rough-ins set before finishes go in, then installed and tested at the end.
Floors carried through cleanly at transitions, with trim, panels and details built to fit the house.

The Delpa sequence
A free design consultation starts with how you cook, store and gather — then what the room can actually support.
Layout, cabinetry, stone and appliance selections are settled, and the quote is built to cover the agreed work.
Floors and pathways are protected before demolition. Trades run in sequence and the site is cleaned each day.
Doors and drawers are adjusted, appliances tested, details checked in context, then a complete final clean.
Before you call
It depends almost entirely on whether the layout changes. A refresh that keeps plumbing and walls where they are moves quickly; opening a wall, relocating a sink or waiting on custom cabinetry extends the schedule considerably. Delpa gives you a realistic sequence at the consultation rather than an optimistic number that slips later.
There is no honest flat figure — cabinetry grade, countertop material, appliance selections and structural change swing the total enormously. What Delpa commits to is a complete number: the initial quote is built to cover the agreed scope rather than starting low and growing through change orders. Materials are bought directly from manufacturers where possible so the budget stays in the work.
Most clients do. Delpa protects floors and pathways before demolition, contains the work area and cleans the site at the end of each day. You will be without the kitchen for the duration, so the consultation covers a practical plan for that stretch.
Yes, and it is one of the most common requests. Whether a wall is load-bearing determines what happens next — a header, posts and sometimes footing work. That assessment happens before the quote so the structural work is priced in rather than discovered mid-project.
Either way works. Delpa can source cabinetry and countertops directly, often at better pricing than retail, or install what you have already selected. What matters is that the selections are locked before demolition so the schedule holds.
Yes. Delpa files for the permits the work requires with the county or municipal office covering your address and manages the inspection schedule through to closeout.
