Top Kitchen Remodeling Companies in North Hills, Raleigh, NC
The kitchens in North Hills tell two stories. The first comes from the original 1960s and 70s ranches lining the established blocks off Six Forks Road, most of them still carrying the closed-off galley layouts the original builders specified. The second comes from the newer infill homes built since the North Hills mixed-use development reshaped the area in the mid-2000s, where the kitchens were designed open from day one, but already feel dated in finish and function.
Either way, a kitchen remodel in this neighborhood usually means moving walls, rerouting plumbing and electrical, and selecting finishes that will hold up against the next decade of resale value. The right contractor for that work matters more than the cabinet brand or the countertop material. Below is a short list of kitchen remodelers serving North Hills, starting with us.
1. Bailey's Remodeling
Bailey’s Remodeling is a Wake Forest-based kitchen and bathroom remodeling firm covering the full Raleigh metro, including the North Hills neighborhood. Kitchens make up a significant portion of the work we take on, and the team operates as a tight crew rather than rotating through subcontractors.
Kitchen remodels live or die on coordination. Cabinets, countertops, plumbing, electrical, lighting, flooring, and tile all have to land in a specific order, and any one trade running late pushes the rest of the project back by weeks. The small-team approach is built around keeping that sequence tight, which is part of why most of our kitchens wrap on schedule.
The work itself stays focused on quality finishes, real material samples chosen in your space, and clean job sites throughout the build. We’re Schluter-certified for waterproofing on tile work, preferred installers of Best Tile, and we book a manageable number of projects each quarter rather than overpromising on capacity.
To get started, call us at (919) 986-6162 or schedule a free consultation, and we’ll walk through your North Hills kitchen in person. Our kitchen remodeling page covers the full scope of what we do.

Baileys Remodeling did an amazing job in both our bathroom and our kitchen. Danielle and Brandon Bailey, along with the guys that work for them, were a pleasure to work with.
They were professional, friendly, prompt, reasonably priced and delivered on everything that was promised. I highly recommend Baileys Remodeling and can’t wait to get my other bathroom done in the future.

Thanks to Bailey’s Construction for treating my small project so professionally!
When what we thought was a small plumbing repair turned into replacing a compromised floor and some of the bathroom fixtures Danielle and Brendon to the rescue, working neatly and quickly to return us to a functional guest bathroom.
Looking forward to working with Bailey’s for future remodeling projects!
2. Distinctive Remodeling
Distinctive Remodeling is a 30+ year Raleigh design-build firm with North Hills explicitly listed in their service footprint. Owner Eddie Casanave runs the operation out of Garner, with a team covering the full Triangle including Forest Hills, Five Points, and Cary.
The firm’s kitchen work has won 12 Best Kitchen STAR Awards from the Raleigh-Wake County Remodelers Council across the last 13 years, alongside two NC Remodeler of the Year wins and over 80 industry awards total. The design-build process keeps the kitchen design, project management, and craft work under one team rather than rotating through subcontractors.
If your kitchen remodel needs serious design thinking and a contractor with award-winning kitchen credentials specifically, Distinctive belongs on the shortlist.
If anyone can do it, Eddie Casanave can. I hired Eddie and his team to do a major remodel of an entire new kitchen which involved moving a load bearing wall among many other things.
Since then I have also hired him to do 2 bathroom remodels. His expertise, integrity, responsiveness and professionalism are all top notch.
It was important to me to have the utmost trust in the company and quality of work performed in my home. A worry free and great experience!

I used Distinctive Remodeling for two complete bathroom remodels, wet bar in bonus room complete update and entire second floor was painted.
I cannot say enough about how easy and enjoyable the whole process was with Michelle and Mike as my main designer/project manager.
The workmanship has been outstanding and I was thrilled at the warranty on their work.

3. Riverbirch Remodeling
Chip Weaver runs Riverbirch Remodeling out of Raleigh, serving the Triangle, including North Hills with a design-build approach centered on an in-house Junior Architect designer. Their model removes the need to hire a separate architect, since their team handles the planning and the construction under one roof.
Where Riverbirch stands out for kitchen work is the 3D rendering software they use during the design phase. Clients walk through the finished kitchen virtually before demo day, which removes most of the second-guessing that happens midway through tile selection or cabinet color choices. The firm focuses on luxury kitchens with custom layouts, premium cabinetry, and finishing details that match the price tag.
For homeowners who want one team handling design through build with full visualization tools, Riverbirch fits that workflow.

4. Greystone Remodeling
Greystone Remodeling is owned by Anthony Abbott, a US military veteran who founded the company in 2015 after years of hands-on carpentry work and a longer stint in residential building. Based out of Franklinton, Greystone serves Wake, Durham, and Franklin counties, which puts North Hills inside their primary service zone.
The team has completed over 100 home transformations across the Triangle, with kitchen and whole-home remodels making up a substantial share of the work. Where Greystone wins points is the responsiveness piece. The pitch focuses on the parts of the contractor industry that homeowners actually complain about: missed deadlines, poor communication, and crews that disappear after the first payment. Greystone responds within a business day, holds to written timelines, and backs the work with a 5-year warranty.
For homeowners who want a small-business experience and veteran-owned credibility, Greystone fits that profile.
