Kitchen Remodeling in Newark, DE

Home to the University of Delaware, Newark mixes 1950s–70s split-levels and colonials in Brookside and Nottingham Green with newer construction at the city’s edge. These are family kitchens that work hard — prime candidates for opened main floors, durable quartz, and islands with real seating.

Many Newark split-levels share the same footprint: a compact kitchen beside a family room that sits a half-level away. Opening that sight line and running one floor through both levels is the project that changes these houses most — and it’s usually simpler than owners expect.
