Why Choose Mulberry as Your Kitchen
Remodeler in Columbus
Design + Construction
You’ll never experience the frustration of designers and builders pointing fingers at each other. Our process ensures what’s designed is what gets built.
Exclusively Custom Designs
We create kitchens tailored to how you live, cook, and entertain. Every layout, material selection, and design detail is personalized to your space and preferences—never a templated solution.
Modern Design Expertise
Mulberry specializes in custom modern design with a signature aesthetic clients call “the Mulberry look”—clean lines, contemporary details, and thoughtful craftsmanship that sets our kitchens apart.
Transparent Budgeting
Every expense is clearly itemized and tied to your project scope. Once the contract is signed, costs only change if the scope changes.
Hands-On Project Manager
From start to finish, you’ll have a single point of contact coordinating all trades, maintaining quality control, and keeping you updated.
Kitchen Renovation Pricing
Kitchen remodeling costs typically range from $40,000 to $100,000+, depending on the size of your space and quality of materials selected. Your final investment is influenced by whether you’re keeping the existing layout or reconfiguring the space, the grade of cabinetry and countertops you choose, and which appliances, lighting, and plumbing fixtures you’re updating.
We believe in early budget alignment and transparent pricing. You’ll understand exactly where your investment is going before construction begins.

Featured Project:
From Dark and Dated to Open and Welcoming
When we decided to move forward with a kitchen renovation in Columbus, we knew it needed more than a surface update. The space felt dark and dated, and it didn’t reflect how we wanted to live in our home long-term. We chose Mulberry for their reputation, attention to detail, and collaborative process.
Our goal was to create a kitchen that felt open, welcoming, and intentional—without changing the footprint. Through updated cabinetry, new countertops, improved lighting, and warm hardwood flooring, Mulberry thoughtfully reimagined the entire space.
Today, our kitchen is exactly what we envisioned: open, welcoming, and a perfect reflection of how we live. It’s proof of what a well-executed renovation can achieve.

Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen
Renovation in Columbus and Central Ohio
Absolutely! All kitchens can be renovated, but every remodel is different based on your existing structure, materials, fixtures, and layout. The main goal is to maintain the structural integrity of your home while adjusting the elements around it. For example, if you want to tear down a wall to create an open-concept layout, it’s not always possible if that wall is load-bearing or contains critical mechanical systems like plumbing, electrical, or HVAC. That’s why it’s so important to hire a professional before making any structural changes—we evaluate what’s feasible within your home’s framework and design solutions that work.
One of the most exciting parts of custom kitchen design is the cabinetry solutions most people don’t realize are possible. We can incorporate pull-up shelves for your KitchenAid mixer, custom drawer organizers for sheet pans and cutting boards, pull-out spice racks that keep everything accessible, and appliance garages that hide countertop clutter. These aren’t just aesthetic choices—they’re functional solutions designed around how you actually cook and use your kitchen every day.
To start the conversation, we’ll need to discuss your budget, overall goals, and how you want to use the space. If you have inspiration photos, home blueprints, floor plans with dimensions, or any existing layouts, those are helpful but not required. We’ll also discuss when you’re hoping to start and complete the project. Most importantly, think about how you currently use your kitchen and what doesn’t work for your lifestyle. Who’s the primary cook? Do you entertain frequently? Are you renovating to sell, or is this your forever home? These insights help us design a kitchen that truly fits your needs.
Most custom kitchen remodels in Columbus take 6-8 weeks from demolition to completion, though the timeline varies based on scope. A straightforward “rip and replace” project where we’re keeping the same layout takes less time, while projects involving moving or building walls, relocating plumbing, or other structural changes take longer. Your dedicated Project Manager will provide a detailed schedule during the pre-construction phase and keep you updated on progress throughout the project.
Absolutely. Many of our clients remain in their homes during kitchen renovations. We establish clear site protection, maintain organized work areas, and coordinate our construction schedule to minimize disruption to your daily routine. Your Project Manager will communicate the schedule so you can plan accordingly.
Changes happen, and we have a structured change order management process to handle them. If you decide to upgrade materials, add features, or adjust the scope after construction begins, your Project Manager will provide a clear cost and timeline impact before proceeding. This transparency protects both your budget and your project schedule.
A $2,500 design retainer is required to begin the design phase and covers layouts, renderings, preliminary estimates, and curated material selections. This is a separate fee for professional design services—you’re paying for our expertise to thoughtfully plan every detail before construction starts.
We’re considering how you actually live in your space, not just how it looks, so you end up with a kitchen that functions beautifully for your daily routine. This upfront investment in design eliminates costly mistakes and frustrating delays down the line. If you move forward with us as your kitchen remodeler in Columbus, you can be confident knowing your vision will translate into reality.
While we can design kitchens in various styles, Mulberry specializes in modern design. Our modern aesthetic has become so distinctive that clients often request “the Mulberry look”—characterized by clean lines, black windows, contemporary cabinetry, and thoughtful details that set our work apart. Many homeowners come to us specifically because they love their existing home but want a modern kitchen renovation that reflects our signature style. That said, we’re a custom design-build firm, so we tailor every project to your personal vision and lifestyle, whether that’s modern, transitional, or another aesthetic entirely.
Absolutely. We serve Columbus and all of Central Ohio—typically within an hour of the city. While we started as a downtown Columbus builder, our modern design has expanded our reach throughout the region, from Buckeye Lake to Indian Lake and everywhere in between. If you’re unsure whether we serve your area, reach out for a discovery call. Distance is rarely a barrier when homeowners are looking for our signature modern design approach!
