Service Area · Dennis Port, MA
Cottage kitchens in Dennis Port were rarely built for the way people cook and gather now. We rebuild them with custom cabinetry from our own shop, just up the road on Upper County Road.
A Dennis Port kitchen often has to do a lot in a small footprint. Many homes here began as compact beach cottages, so the original kitchen was an afterthought: tight counters, a single window, cabinets that never reached the ceiling. A kitchen remodel is the chance to fix all of that at once, with a layout planned around how you actually use the room.
Custom cabinetry is where we make the biggest difference. Our carpenters build cabinets to fit the exact walls, angles and ceiling heights of your house, so every inch of a small kitchen earns its keep. Licensed plumbers and electricians handle the relocated sinks, new circuits and appliance hookups, and PJCC keeps the whole job on one schedule.

Custom-built cabinetry is a specialty of ours, and having the cabinetmakers and installers on the same team means fewer gaps between what was designed and what gets built. Over three decades we have finished more than 1,000 projects, and the company is licensed and insured.
See how our kitchen remodeling service works from layout to final hardware, then let’s look at your kitchen together.
Space is the first constraint. Cottage kitchens near Sea Street Beach and the Swan Pond Overlook on Center Street were often squeezed into a corner of the original floor plan, so good design starts with where the walls, windows and plumbing can move.
Use is the second. A kitchen that serves a full house of summer guests needs more prep space and storage than one used by two people in January. We plan for both, so the room works in every season.
We measure the room, talk through how you cook and entertain, and agree on a layout before any cabinet is built. Selections for counters, appliances and fixtures are made early, because they drive the cabinet dimensions. Demolition, rough plumbing and electrical, inspections and drywall come next, followed by cabinet installation, counters and finish work.
Because our shop is in the village, we can take precise measurements as many times as the job needs, the same way we work on kitchens in nearby West Dennis.
Our kitchen work reaches well beyond Dennis Port. Next door in West Dennis, older homes and summer cottages near the Bass River need many of the same layout fixes. Further east along Route 28, Harwich Port brings harbor-side homes and condos into the mix.
Up the coast, our Chatham clients tend to want larger kitchens for summer entertaining, built while the house sits empty in winter.
Most Dennis Port kitchen remodels fall into two groups. Seasonal owners near the beaches often want a durable, easy-to-clean kitchen that can handle a busy summer and close down cleanly in the fall. Year-round residents closer to the Dennis Public Library on Hall Street usually want more storage, better lighting and room for a small island or peninsula.
Both often start the same way: removing a wall to borrow space from a dining area. Projects in South Dennis follow that pattern too.

Our shop is on Upper County Road, so a Dennis Port kitchen is minutes from where the cabinets are built and the crew starts each day. That makes extra measurements, quick fixes and inspections easy to fit in. It also means we know the local building department and how the village’s homes tend to be put together.
Yes. Many Dennis Port homes are seasonal, and an empty house is the easiest place to remodel a kitchen. We finalize the layout and selections with you before you leave, then schedule the work so the kitchen is finished and cleaned up before you return. Owners in West Dennis often take the same approach.
Not for everything. The Massachusetts building code treats new cabinets, countertops, tile and paint as finish work that does not need a building permit. Moving walls, plumbing, gas lines or electrical circuits is different: those need permits, and licensed plumbers and electricians pull their own. We sort out which permits your kitchen needs during design.
There is no single answer, because the timeline depends on design decisions, cabinet build time, how much plumbing and electrical moves, inspection scheduling and how busy the trades are that season. We give you a realistic schedule once the layout and selections are settled, and we order long-lead items as early as possible to protect it.
The biggest factors are whether the layout changes, the grade of cabinetry and countertops, the appliances you choose, any structural work such as removing a wall, and the condition of what is behind the old cabinets. Older cottages sometimes need wiring or framing repairs once opened. We walk through each factor with you before a price is set, so there are no surprises later in Harwich Port or here.
Any plumbing, gas or electrical work in Massachusetts has to be done by a licensed professional with the right permit, whoever hires them. We coordinate licensed trades as part of the kitchen schedule so rough-ins, inspections and cabinet installation happen in the right order. If you have a trusted licensed tradesperson, we can talk about including them.
