Not every kitchen needs a custom design process. Some just need to be done properly, and done soon.

What is Included

MUSE Essentials is a shorter path to a finished kitchen. Instead of an open-ended design phase, you choose from curated tiers of cabinetry, counters, tile, sinks, faucets and hardware that our designers have already specified and priced.

The build is run by the same crews, to the same standard, with the same warranty. What changes is the front end: fewer decisions, a faster start and a budget you can see before you commit.

Curated selection tiers

Cabinetry, counters, tile, sinks, faucets and hardware pre-specified into tiers you can compare side by side.

Budget builder

Price the kitchen as you choose, so the number is visible before you commit to anything.

Faster start

A shorter design phase means less time between the first conversation and the first day on site.

Same crews, same warranty

Built by the MUSE construction team and covered by the same one-year warranty as every other project.

The MUSE Process

Consult, design, build. Every selection is made and every number is agreed before demolition day.

STEP 01

Consult

A complimentary call with a project developer to cover your scope, your priorities and a preliminary budget range.

STEP 02

Design Concept

Measurements, as-built drawings, layout options and 3-D renderings, so you can see the room before anything is ordered.

STEP 03

Specifications

Final selections made with our trade partners, then detailed drawings and an itemised, fixed-price budget.

STEP 04

Build

Materials pre-ordered and stored, then a lead carpenter and project manager run the job with updates through BuilderTrend.

Remodeling without the chaos

Most renovation horror stories come down to a budget that moved and a schedule nobody owned. Our process is built to remove both.

Fixed-Price Budget

Selections are finalised before the build starts, so the itemised number you approve is the number you pay.

One Point of Contact

A dedicated project manager and lead carpenter stay with your job and keep you updated day to day.

Materials On Hand

We pre-order and warehouse your materials before demolition, which is what keeps a schedule honest.

Question? Answered

The things homeowners ask us most, about scope, budget, timelines and what living through a remodel is actually like.

What kinds of projects does MUSE take on?

We are a design-build firm handling custom home renovations: kitchen remodels, bathroom transformations, large-scale interior renovations and new construction. Design and construction are both in house, so one team carries your project from the first drawing through the final walkthrough.

How does the design process work?

It starts with a free consultation covering your ideas and a preliminary budget. From there you work with a MUSE designer in our Concord showroom to choose products and materials, and we finalise the budget against those selections before the build phase begins.

What areas do you serve?

We work with homeowners across the Greater Charlotte area, including Concord, Kannapolis, Davidson, Mooresville, Salisbury, Matthews, Waxhaw and Pineville, along with Lake Wylie, Tega Cay and Fort Mill in South Carolina.

How long does a kitchen or bathroom remodel take?

Planning and pre-ordering materials takes roughly five to eight weeks before anyone picks up a tool. On site, a bathroom typically runs eight to ten weeks and a kitchen eight to twelve weeks or more, depending on the scope. You get a schedule before work starts.

Will I be able to use the room while you work?

Usually not the room being remodelled. Demolition, plumbing and electrical work make a bathroom unusable for most of the project, so plan to use another one. We sequence the work to keep the rest of your home livable and disruption as short as possible.

How do I get started?
