experience
Rather than encouraging customers to browse a large showroom, we arrange individual appointments with experienced designers. We visit the property to measure the kitchen, discuss practical requirements, and begin developing possible solutions. Preliminary computer designs are prepared for review and adjusted according to the homeowner's feedback. We subsequently create detailed plans identifying the cabinets, appliances, flooring, and other necessary design elements. Our office resources include cabinet construction displays, hundreds of sample doors and finishes, and three-dimensional kitchen visualizations. This streamlined operating model helps reduce costs associated with traditional showrooms while allowing us to concentrate on careful planning, personalized guidance, and the overall value of each project.

Services
Kitchen Design
Our kitchen design approach emphasizes exceptional value through carefully managed operating costs and dedicated design time. Rather than maintaining expensive showroom displays, we present eight cabinetry brands with their available door styles and finishes. We request a modest deposit before measuring and developing preliminary plans, allowing us to concentrate on customers committed to their renovation projects.
Cabinet Sales
We help customers identify cabinetry that balances their design requirements with practical budget considerations. Our inventory includes eight nationally distributed lines with custom and semi-custom selections in various materials and finishes. Each cabinet brand provides solid wood drawers with dovetail construction and full-extension buffered tracks. Our lower-overhead business model supports competitive pricing, and every cabinet receives limited lifetime warranty coverage.
Countertop Brands
Countertop design involves selecting materials that reflect individual preferences while meeting everyday demands. We offer seven established brands with options ranging from quartz and hybrid mineral surfaces to solid surface products. Viatera emphasizes durability for daily activities, and Wilsonart provides versatility for residential and commercial interiors. Our collections also feature numerous colors, distinctive textures, and contemporary design possibilities.
Kitchen Design Process
From initial planning through detailed design development, we provide a comprehensive kitchen design process centered on your preferences. Our complimentary consultation addresses questions and helps establish expected costs. After completing an in-home measurement, we prepare and refine your kitchen plans. Floor plans, elevations, construction notes, and renderings are available with an additional cabinetry deposit.

Main Line Kitchen has now provided us with two kitchens. The free design ideas were outstanding and really elevated the space and the cabinets are great, very well made at a great price. I would highly recommend them

We were very happy with Main Line, especially their responsiveness to issues with the doors after the fact! One of our cabinet doors was warped and Chris Rossetti immediately swung by, determined it was covered under warranty and got a new one ordered. He even reordered it a second time after determining that the stain color was not satisfactory (I didn't even notice the difference until he pointed it out!)
We went with a more base-level product for our laundry room because we thought it was worth spending the 'big bucks' on custom inset cabinets in our kitchen, but the laundry room cabinets honestly have such a 'wow' factor and our experience with Main Line was much much better than with Village Handcrafted, where we got the kitchen cabinets. Quality is better and service is far superior.

After moving to the area from Charlotte, NC we conducted endless research to find a high quality , reasonably priced K&B to completely overhaul our 70's kitchen as part of our gut renovation. We met with at least 7 companies and narrowed it to 2. Received pricing on the exact same kitchen layout, Semi-Custom brand of cabinets, door style, and finish. I was astonished at the price difference for one, but also the attention to detail and service we received during this process alone from Mainline kitchens. Because of this, we decided to work with Jeremy Lista and Mainline Kitchens, and we could not be happier with our new kitchen! As a designer I already had a plan drawn up but Jeremy made it better with small but meaningful tweaks, and also helped me create an entirely new cabinet as a hidden pantry door and a custom made hood that was not offered by Brighton at the time. There were a few hiccups with Brighton along the way but Jeremy was on top of every issue with them and had things fixed or replaced immediately. Next up will be bathrooms and, after such a great experience, we now enlist Jeremy @ Mainline Kitchens for all of our own renovation clients in the area!

Mainline kitchens stands alone. From beginning to end the whole process was seamless. I got 4 other estimates and Mainline kitchen was the most reasonable. Excellent cabinet choices and countertops. The contractor was punctual, dependable and his work is first class.

We are completely elated with our newly renovated kitchen. After filling out an online form Paul called the next day and explained the entire process. Of course, we chose to move forward. The initial contact with our designer Jeremy L went well and we soon saw 2 complete 3D renderings of what our kitchen could become. Jeremy proposed moving an existing door to maximize our space, and we were floored. The design, workmanship of the contractor and professionalism of the whole team was exceptional. Our new kitchen is phenomenal; it is a functional work of art. Mainline Kitchen Design are true artisans. My wife and I are eternally grateful for the care and experience of you all for helping our dreams become a reality., Thank you from, Mark and Rhonda!

We recently renovated our kitchen, dining room, and mudroom. We selected Main Line Kitchen Design based on a family member’s recent outstanding kitchen remodel (different designer). We were assigned to Jeremy who was very patient and pleasant to work with on our project. He helped guide the design in a way to maximize our smaller footprint in a manner that did not feel cookie cutter or forced (I.e. an island where there was clearly no room to do so). The showroom is pretty basic but plenty cabinet options to choose from there. Our counters came from recommended vendor, and that process was also uncomplicated and not stressful. We appreciated that the Main Line team carefully documented and measured before construction. Even with the diligent prep, there was a problem with one of the corner drawers opening after hardware installation. We were fortunate this was our only true hiccup in this project. The company was very quick to come up with a solution. Despite having to wait a few extra weeks to iron everything out, we were able to experience and enjoy our new space. We truly didn’t realize how limited our space was until it was reimagined. Thank you Jeremy and MLKD team for your hard work and expertise!

The team at Main Line Kitchen Design is INCREDIBLE. This was my first major renovation project, and Chris was incredibly patient with me and helpful every step of the way. He didn't just design a beautiful kitchen, he also helped me hire a contractor, problem solved with us throughout the project, managed delivery and installation of our cabinets in person, and returned frequently to make sure everything was going as planned. I could not recommend him and this business more highly. Chris even came back to our home several months after the project finished to adjust a crooked cabinet door. Truly the most supportive and knowledgable people I have ever had the pleasure of working with.

I had a tricky space and no clear idea of what I wanted. Paul came up with a layout I’d never have thought of myself — and it’s perfect. Exactly what the room needed.

Mainline Kitchen was great. We were stumped as to how to incorporate an island in our narrow space. Designer Doug
Mottershead figured out a great island that seats a lot of bodies. He also steered us to cabinets we could get quickly as we had a wedding coming up. He measured and ordered and provided guidance on some tricky construction details. It all worked out and would definitely use this company again.

Chris did an amazing job with our kitchen, pantry, living room built ins, mud room bench, vanities and laundry room designs. We couldn’t be happier with the cabinets and the designs. Chris helped us pick the exact cabinets for the application and the budget for each space. As a builder and contractor I was amazed that not one piece was short with this enormous order. I highly recommend Main Line Kitchen Design!

Paul and Main Line Kitchen Design (MLKD) are amazing! Paul is knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about kitchen design. I “cold” emailed him some questions about my kitchen design, and he generously answered and invited me onto his Calls with Paul podcast. There he gave me even more solid advice and even emailed me a hand sketched design after the podcast. Simply amazing! Check out MLKD if you’re thinking of remodeling your kitchen.

We chose Mainline for our kitchen design needs and couldn’t be happier! Jeremy was so patient and took all of our requests and vague ideas of what we wanted and created a beautiful and thoughtful design. He was incredibly patient during cabinet selection and took the time to walk us through so many options and variations. He also suggested visiting the wolf/sub-zero showroom, which we were uncertain of at first, but turned out to be amazing and so helpful. Mainline reached out to a couple of their recommended contractors, which allowed us to get a competitive bid and find an amazing general contractor. Jeremy stayed in touch throughout the construction process, and was very quick to respond to any questions that came up, and just made the whole process go as smooth as possible. We sincerely appreciate the huge role Jeremy played in our kitchen transformation!

A Main Line Kitchen Design renovation has just been completed in my home and I couldn't be happier. Paul, Chris and Juliet were wonderful advisors. With Chris and Juliet's experience and design talent I was finally able to visualize how to make my small, inefficient kitchen beautiful and functional. I now have more storage space than I thought possible. Juliet listened to my wants and needs and nudged me towards selections she thought I would like. She coordinated all ordering, scheduling and installation which made the experience less stressful. The final result is fantastic. I would definitely recommend Main Line Kitchen Design.

Main Line Kitchen Design has been a pleasure to work with. Their team is on top of every aspect of the kitchen remodeling process. Offering a wide variety of cabinets allows my customers to select a quality cabinet that meets their budgetary needs. Whether you’re looking for custom cabinetry or something more affordable that does not sacrifice quality they have you covered. I personally work with Jeremy and his experience in construction and creative ability to put a design together are unmatched.

We had a great experience with Jeremy at Mainline Kitchen design! When we moved in to our house 10 years ago, we knew that we needed to renovate at some point given the poor layout, deteriorating particle board countertop and drooping drawers. Concerned about the downtime, it wasn't until last year when we decided to bite the bullet and start this project. Jeremy was easy to work with, and we love the design and layout. The contractor he had recommended was responsive, knowledgeable, and kept to the timeline. We are really enjoying our new kitchen. Thanks to Mainline Kitchen, our experience was tremendously smoother than we had feared!
