Kitchen design

The true heart of the home

Open kitchen with large island, white cabinets, stainless steel appliances, wicker chairs

One of the most exciting aspects of choosing to build a new construction home is moving into a brand new kitchen. There are few things more costly and inconvenient than ripping out a resale home's kitchen. Luckily, with a new construction home, you won't have to! Here's how we select quality vendors and finishes for our homes for a designer look you'll love.

Cabinetry

Cabinets can alter the overall look and feel of your kitchen like nothing else. At Richmond American, our professional design team puts a lot of thought into choosing cabinet vendors across the country. The goal? Beautiful cabinetry that will work for you and your family for years to come.
