NorthShore Kitchens Plus

At NorthShore Kitchens Plus, a custom kitchen and cabinet design center in Marblehead, Mass., the goal is to not only meet, but to exceed clients’ expectations. It works closely with homeowners to develop designs that reflect their needs, lifestyles, and how they value and use the kitchen – whether as a place to gather as a family, entertain, create great food, or relax. Its award-winning kitchens also set trends and new design standards. And, it has a commitment to environmentally friendly design. NorthShore’s kitchens range in style from historic reproduction to sleek contemporary. And it creates cabinetry for any room in the home, including bathroom vanities, entertainment centers, bookcases for libraries, and fireplace mantels. ``If it can be built, we build it,’’ is one of its mottos. The majority of its work is north of Boston, but the company has completed projects throughout the United States and in Bermuda. Its work has been featured in national magazines, as well as on Home and Garden Television. NorthShore Kitchens has received many awards, including the first leadership award for operating an outstanding kitchen and bath business from Kitchen and Bath Design News.
