Over 30 years ago, Joe Pavone decided to open Bradford and Kent because he felt that he could provide a superior home remodeling experience for his clients. This meant opening a 6000 square foot design center featuring a wide variety of room displays and products, offering clients an expert team of remodeling professionals who can take projects from start to finish, and an unrivaled five year construction warranty. Joe oversees the architectural planning and building of each home we remodel. After a successful career as a chemical engineer, Rob Quigley decided to go back to his first love which was home construction, and joined Bradford and Kent as a partner in 2002.

A Bradford and Kent designer will take your vision, add their own artistic touches, and create a highly functional, aesthetically pleasing kitchen remodeling plan that is right for you. There is a lot to consider when remodeling a kitchen, but don't worry. All of our proposed design plans are done in 3D so it is easy to envision, change and even walk through your kitchen remodeling project. Our award winning designers are dedicated to making this an interactive, rewarding experience and building the kitchen of your dreams.
To determine the best layout, your kitchen designer will develop a work triangle that gives you the easiest access to the sink, stove and refrigerator. They will also make sure the work aisles are appropriately proportioned, and an island will be considered as a place for food preparation, seating, storage, entertaining or even as a focal point. Your kitchen designer will incorporate additional needs such as a media area, message center or charging station. After a thorough analysis of the space, our kitchen remodeling expert will give you several layout options.
If you are in a neighborhood you love, but need more space, a home addition is a great way to enlarge your house without having to move.

At Bradford & Kent, we have been designing and building custom home for 30 years.
