Kitchens are the most used room of your home, in our opinion, here at Ascension Builders, LLC., home builders Grapeland TX.  It is the central hubs of any family homes, no matter what your family looks like or consists of.  Kitchens are where the meals are prepared; conversations are had; homework and school projects are made and holiday festivities and traditions are generated for generations to come.  Not only does it reflect ones style but also needs to have functionality to the family that inhabits the home. 

There are so many designs of kitchens from the modern farmhouse to the cool sleek contemporary and everything in between.  For those who are doing renovations, just mir changing out of the cabinet door and drawer fronts is like Botox for the tired out kitchen to be freshened up and reenergized.  Ascension Builders, LLC home builders Grapeland TX custom makes the cabinetry to fit the available space whether it is a custom new build or renovation of an existing kitchen.  We have a wide variety of cabinet doors and drawer styles available, whether it is shaker; raised panel or something you have in mind just send us a picture and we will do our best to get it matched for you.

Countertops are the Picasso’s for kitchens.  The natural stones consist of Granite; Quartzite and the Marbles just to name a few.  The natural stones are one of kind pieces, no two pieces are alike, just as God intended.  They offer movement and veining that just cannot be mimicked by human hands.  For those customers who want no movement or controlled movement there are the engineered stone tops such as Quartz, which is basically a composite of natural quartz and resins.  The cultured marbles and granites are not recommended for kitchens due to the low heat tolerances, those materials are best suited for bathrooms.  However, homeowners should always do their own research into the material they choose to see which one would be best suited for their particular needs.  Please do not ask about Formica, as it needs to stay in the 1980’s.  No it is no longer a cheap option for tops, due installers are few and far between and if you do find an installer, remember material is cheap but the labor is high.  Tile tops are still options and there are a wide variety of colors; shapes and designs.   Once the countertop material is selected then you are to choose the finish you desire.  Whether you like polished (shiny); Matte or Leathered (yes looks like large pebble grain leather in more of a matte finish).  These finishes pertain mostly to the natural stone surfaces.  Ascension Builders, LLC. home builders Grapeland TX has several companies we work with, to find your specific needs.  

Backsplashes along with countertops can be a statement piece in your kitchen. They can either make a bold statement or more of a subtle whisper.  In our opinion, backsplashes in Kitchens are the bridges that tie the countertops to the rest of the kitchen.  We will just name a few examples of backsplashes because we could be here all day.  Stacked rock; glass tiles; tiles in all matter, shapes and sizes and brick; tin (new and old/ used).  The lists goes on, but you get the idea. Whether you use the same countertop material for a more of a contemporary look or you pick from a wide variety of materials that are basically limited by the creators imagination, the options are numerous to say the least.  If in question, if the material will work as a backsplash, just ask we will be happy assist you.  Whether you want to be bold and yell or be subtle and whisper, your statement is yours to make.

Sinks are getting a large enough of a variety, that they are getting teams of their own and homeowners have very strong options on which one they are on.  Team Under Mount which is where the countertop is over the sink edges (mounted under the countertop).  Team Set In, which is where the countertop has a hole for the sink to be set into and sink edges are on top of countertop (set in whole on top of countertop). Team Farm/ Apron is typically a weighted sink and the front has a large ban mimicking the old farm house sinks from days past. All these sinks come in variety of shapes; sizes and materials ranging from stainless steel, porcelain, fireclay, cast iron, copper and granite composite.  Choose from single bay; 50/50 divided; 60/40 divided and high divider or low profile divider the choice is yours.

Hardware are Kitchens accessories to the perfect outfit. The kitchen sink faucets need to be eye appealing and be a strong worker all at the same time, not all fixtures are created equal, there is a difference between a plumber supplier and DIY Franchises.  Ascension Builders, LLC home builders Grapeland TX works with several plumber supply companies.  The cabinet and drawer pulls/ knobs or cups can make the same kitchen have different looks just by use either or, or a mix and match.  Finding just the right faucets and cabinet door and drawer pulls; knobs or cups and in the right color is the proverbial cherry on top.

Ascension Builders LLC home builders Grapeland TX believe that kitchens are the most frequented room of the house.  The gatherings always seem to gravitate to the kitchen at some point and they are definitely the hub of family life, where conversations about school; life; goals and just being ourselves often take place, while preparing meals or cleaning from the day.  Whether your are a culinary artist; the pit crew dishwasher, or just simply the bar stool warmer, the kitchen is the work of art statement for the whole house. They often are a direct reflection of the homeowner, whether it be bright colors with bold patterns or soft subtle hues and little to no patterns.  So be as bold as you want to be or mild as you like to be, just be you.

We at Ascension Builders, LLC home builders Grapeland TX believe that your home, whether a farm, ranch or in town, should be your sanctuary from the outside forces of this world and bring a smile to your face and a sense of peace to you every time you drive up.
