Transform Your Kitchen Into the Heart of Your Charlotte Home
From outdated layouts to modern spaces perfect for cooking and entertaining, GJK Remodeling creates beautiful kitchens tailored to your vision and budget.
Meet Gary Knowles, Owner & Designer
Gary Knowles founded GJK Remodeling over 25 years ago with a simple belief: computers are too impersonal for creating spaces where families will live. That's why he hand-draws every design and stays personally involved in every project from initial sketch through final walkthrough.
As a full-service design-build firm, Gary and his team guide you through the entire process. You'll work directly with the owner who's invested in delivering exactly what you want while respecting your budget and timeline.

Why GJK Remodeling for Your Kitchen?
Hand-Drawn Designs
Gary personally sketches every kitchen layout by hand, creating a space that reflects your family's unique needs rather than a computer-generated template.
Owner Involvement Throughout
Unlike firms where owners disappear after signing, Gary manages on-site details to ensure your design vision becomes reality without compromising quality or exceeding budget.
Complete Design-Build Service
From initial design through final installation, we handle everything in-house. One team, one point of accountability, seamless communication from start to finish.
In-House Showroom Experience
Visit our Charlotte showroom to select cabinetry, countertops, and fixtures in person. View 3D renderings on our large HDTV to visualize your choices before construction begins.
Weekly Transparency
You'll receive detailed weekly updates on progress and upcoming schedules, plus weekly invoices. No surprises, no wondering what's happening with your investment.
Our Guarantee to You
Complete One-Year Warranty
Every aspect of your kitchen remodel is covered wall-to-wall for a full year, from cabinetry and countertops to plumbing and electrical work.
Weekly Updates & Invoices
You'll receive detailed progress reports and invoices every week. You'll always know what's been accomplished, what's coming next, and where your investment is going.
Owner Accountability
Gary Knowles personally manages your project from design through completion. You work directly with the owner, not a project manager who disappears after the contract is signed.
