This unassuming one-story home in Mililani is situated on a quiet street, part of a master-planned community built by Castle & Cooke in the 1990s. Each home in this closely-knit neighborhood shares the same layout, including sectioned-off spaces and small, cramped kitchens.
Over the years, the owners of this particular home grew tired of their dysfunctional kitchen and turned to Masterpiece Construction to help piece together an open and refreshing space for their family.
“It was old school — enclosed, dark, dated — and needed to be renewed,” Chris Oxendine of Masterpiece Construction says of the home’s original look and layout.
The homeowners knew they wanted a modern kitchen with gray tones. Oxendine and his team took this vision and got to work, removing non-load bearing walls, dated cabinetry, old appliances and flooring. “The point of the project was to open up the space,” explains Oxendine. “It was a full kitchen remodel.”
Masterpiece Construction installed porcelain tile flooring, with tight grout joints making it easy to clean. “It’s scratch-resistant, it’s a harder material and it’s more durable than vinyl,” Oxendine says.
