Overview
This kitchen and dining renovation in Fairport NY is a showcase of what happens when smart design meets expert craftsmanship. The homeowners needed a kitchen that could handle a busy family while also providing a dedicated dining area where everyone could sit together comfortably. TGM Contracting & Remodelingdesigned and built a complete transformation — removing walls, installing a massive 12-foot custom island, and creating a built-in banquette dining nook that turned wasted space into the most-used area of the home.
Our in-house designer, with over 27 years of real design and remodeling experience, focused on maximizing every square inch. The result is not just a kitchen that looks incredible — it is a kitchen that works harder than any room in the house. Custom storage solutions are built into every cabinet, drawer, and nook, giving the family a place for everything and eliminating countertop clutter.
As a veteran-owned and operated company, TGM Contracting & Remodelingapproached this project with the precision and thoroughness our clients have come to expect. Every joint, every finish, every detail was executed to the highest standard and backed by our lifetime craftsmanship warranty.
Before & After
The original kitchen was dated, closed off, and lacked the storage and seating the family needed. The transformation is dramatic:
Design Vision
The design for this Fairport home was driven by two priorities: family function and elevated style. Our designer developed a layout that removed the wall separating the kitchen from the dining area, creating one unified space that flows naturally. The centerpiece is a 12-foot custom island that provides prep space, storage, and casual seating — essentially replacing the old kitchen table while freeing up the dining area for a purpose-built banquette nook.
Key design elements include:
- 12-foot custom kitchen island with integrated storage and seating
- Built-in banquette dining nook with bench seating for the whole family
- Wall removal to create open concept kitchen and dining flow
- Custom storage solutions in every drawer and cabinet
- Integrated charging stations and organizational inserts
- Natural light optimization throughout the space
Design Plans & Renderings
Before construction began, our in-house designer created detailed plans to ensure every element worked together. This planning phase is where great remodels are won or lost:
The Challenge
This project required significant structural work. The wall between the kitchen and dining area was load-bearing, requiring proper engineering and beam installation to open the space safely. Our team also had to reroute plumbing and electrical to accommodate the new island location and banquette area.
The homeowners also had very specific storage needs. With a busy household, they wanted a place for everything — from baking sheets to phone chargers. Our designer created custom organizational systems built directly into the cabinetry, including peg drawer organizers, in-drawer charging stations, and dedicated compartments for everything from paper towels to cutting boards.

The Completed Kitchen
The finished space is a complete transformation. The open layout connects cooking and dining seamlessly. The 12-foot island anchors the room while the custom banquette creates a cozy, dedicated dining area that the family uses for meals, homework, and gathering. Every surface is built to last and finished to the highest standard.
Custom Storage Solutions
One of the standout features of this kitchen is the attention to storage. Our designer created custom organizational systems throughout the cabinetry that keep everything accessible and clutter-free. These are not aftermarket inserts — they are integrated into the cabinet design from day one:
