Kitchen Remodel Around North Atlanta

Kitchen Renovations That Delight
When you search for “kitchen renovation near me”, you want more than a contractor who swings a hammer and hands you a bill.
You want a designer who begins with the way you actually live—how you move around your kitchen island, where you stash things in your kitchen cabinets, and what kind of space feeling you want when you walk in after everything is completely transformed. You also want someone who understands how to keep you functioning in a temporary kitchen while the work is underway, so daily life stays as manageable as possible.
That’s where Simone Feldman starts. Every time.
Simone Feldman Designs is a residential kitchen design and remodeling firm based in Roswell, Georgia, serving homeowners throughout Alpharetta, Milton, Johns Creek, Sandy Springs, Cumming, and surrounding North Atlanta communities.
With more than 40 years of architectural design and construction experience and a Certified Kitchen Designer (CKD) credential through the National Kitchen & Bath Association, Simone brings a level of expertise to your kitchen renovation that most contractors and designers simply can’t match. Whether you dream of a bright white kitchen with open shelves, a warm space filled with natural materials, or a highly functional chef’s kitchen with stainless steel appliances, Simone ensures your kitchen is designed around the way you cook and gather.
What a Real Kitchen Renovation Actually Involves
Most homeowners don’t fully realize how much a kitchen renovation encompasses until they’re in the middle of one. The visible work—cabinets and drawers, countertops, backsplash, fixtures, lighting—is just the tip of the iceberg. Below the surface, a proper kitchen remodel involves:
▸ Layout reconfiguration — repositioning appliances, the kitchen island, or the refrigerator to improve workflow and open concept circulation
▸ Plumbing rough‑in changes — moving the sink, adding farmhouse sinks or a prep sink, or relocating supply and drain lines
▸ Electrical updates — adding circuits for new stainless steel appliances, under‑cabinet lighting, or code‑required outlets
▸ Structural considerations — removing or modifying walls to create a more open concept, raising ceilings, or adjusting window placement
▸ Waterproofing and subfloor work — addressing moisture issues before new flooring goes in
▸ Ventilation — properly sizing and routing range hood ductwork for your cooking style and layout
Managing all of this requires someone who understands both design and construction—not just one or the other. Simone’s background spans architectural study, decades of running her own design/build firm (1984–2008), and years of close collaboration with the best tradespeople in North Atlanta. She doesn’t just get your kitchen designed on paper. She makes sure it gets built correctly in the field.

The Simone Feldman Kitchen Renovation Process
Simone’s process is deliberately thorough—because the decisions made in the planning phase determine everything that happens during construction. Here’s what working with Simone looks like from first call to finished kitchen:
Step 1: Discovery Consultation
Before any design work begins, Simone spends time with you in your current kitchen. She watches how you move through the space, how you use your kitchen island (or how you’d like one to function), and where clutter collects on counters, open shelves, or inside upper cabinets.
She asks questions about what isn’t working—from awkward cabinet doors and drawer organization to poor lighting and traffic bottlenecks—and listens carefully to what you want to change. She’s particularly interested in how your household actually uses the kitchen, not the idealized version but the real one.
Step 2: Space Planning and Layout Design
Layout is the foundation of every successful kitchen remodel. Simone evaluates traffic flow, work triangle efficiency, appliance placement, and storage logic before settling on a layout recommendation.
She considers where a kitchen island will best support prep and seating, how upper cabinets, open shelves, and custom cabinet details can maximize storage, and how to keep cabinets and drawers easy to reach for everyone in the household. She uses 3D imaging software to show you exactly what your new kitchen will look like—doors and drawer fronts, lighting, and surfaces—before a single cabinet is ordered.
Step 3: Material and Finish Selection
Choosing cabinetry, countertops, backsplash, flooring, fixtures, and lighting is where most homeowners feel overwhelmed. Simone guides you through every selection with clarity—explaining the real‑world performance differences between natural materials and synthetics, the look and upkeep of stainless steel appliances, and the impact of painting cabinets versus replacing them.
Together, you’ll decide on cabinet doors and drawer styles, custom cabinet inserts, open shelves or additional upper cabinets, and whether a clean white kitchen or a warmer palette better fits your home. Nothing gets selected in isolation; every decision supports the overall design and space feeling you’re after.
Step 4: Contractor Coordination and Construction
Over four decades in the Atlanta renovation market, Simone has built relationships with top‑tier carpenters, plumbers, electricians, tile installers, and finish trades who share her standards for craftsmanship and professionalism.
She assembles the right team for your specific project, personally introduces each trade to you before they enter your home, and remains actively involved throughout construction—visiting the site regularly, confirming details like cabinet doors, doors and drawer alignment, and farmhouse sinks are installed correctly, and keeping you informed at every stage. She also helps plan a temporary kitchen solution so you can keep essentials accessible while your main kitchen is under construction.
Step 5: Final Walkthrough and Completion
Simone doesn’t consider a kitchen renovation complete until every detail has been inspected and every item on the punch list is resolved. She conducts a final walkthrough with you, checks that all cabinets and drawers operate smoothly, verifies that finishes on natural materials and stainless steel surfaces look as expected, and addresses anything that needs attention. Only when you feel the space is completely transformed—and truly reflects the way you wanted your kitchen designed—does she consider the project done.
Why Certification Matters in a Kitchen Designer
The title “kitchen designer” is not legally protected in Georgia—anyone can use it. The Certified Kitchen Designer (CKD) credential from the National Kitchen & Bath Association requires demonstrated expertise in space planning, building codes, construction methods, and professional ethics. It’s earned through documented project experience and rigorous examination, and it must be maintained through ongoing education.
Simone has held her CKD certification for decades and served on the Georgia Chapter of the NKBA as Vice President of Educational Programs. When you’re searching for kitchen renovation near you and choosing between a contractor who calls themselves a designer and a designer who has spent a career earning that credential, the difference matters—especially when you’re trusting someone with the heart of your home.
Kitchen Design That Works for Every Stage of Life
As a Certified Aging‑in‑Place Specialist (CAPS), Simone brings an additional layer of expertise to kitchen renovations for homeowners who want their space to remain comfortable and functional as their needs evolve over time.
This includes thoughtful decisions about counter heights, doors and drawer hardware that are easy to grip, pull‑out cabinets and drawers, lighting levels, flooring choices, and aisle widths that work beautifully today and continue working well for decades. An open concept layout, carefully placed upper cabinets, and accessible storage can make a meaningful difference as you age in place.
If aging‑in‑place design is a priority for your kitchen renovation, mention it in your initial consultation—Simone will incorporate those considerations into the design from the very beginning.
The Value of a Well-Planned Kitchen Update
A carefully planned kitchen update can improve both your daily life and the overall value of your home. Beyond the visual appeal, a better layout, improved lighting, and efficient storage make cooking and entertaining more enjoyable.
By investing in professional planning and quality materials, you gain a space that continues to perform well for years while maintaining its style.
