A Basement Kitchenette in Centennial, CO

This Centennial home needed a second kitchen downstairs, a proper kitchenette to support a basement in-law suite and rec area so guests would not have to run upstairs for everything.

We built it with white shaker cabinetry, quartz counters, and a gray brick-look tile backsplash. It has what a full kitchen has at a smaller scale: a full-size stainless refrigerator, a dishwasher, and a sink, all tucked into an efficient run.

A pass-through bar with counter seating opens the kitchenette to the media and rec room, so whoever is downstairs stays part of the group. Warm luxury-vinyl-plank flooring ties it to the rest of the finished basement.

The lower level now works as its own self-contained suite, ideal for guests, extended family, or older kids who want their own space.

Questions About This Project

Can you add a kitchenette or second kitchen in a basement?

Yes. We build basement kitchenettes and in-law suites with cabinetry, counters, sinks, and appliances. We plan the plumbing and electrical to code as part of the project.

What is the difference between a kitchenette and a wet bar?

A wet bar is usually just a sink and beverage fridge, while a kitchenette adds real cooking and storage, like a full-size refrigerator, dishwasher, and more cabinetry, as in this project.

Who issues remodeling permits in Centennial?

Permits are issued by the City of Centennial Building Division (Arapahoe County). We pull and manage all permits and inspections for your project.

"From initial interview through design, demolition, construction, installation, through to final cleanup, Jeff and his crew were professional, competent, honest and flexible. Jeff's commitment to quality work and customer satisfaction goes beyond lip service and is put into practice that's reflected in the completed project. Thank you CPR."

Randall K.

"Jeff is the best! He did a full remodel on our upstairs bathroom and it looks beautiful. From the initial estimate to the end of the project he and his team were professional and easy to work with. Jeff is so honest, ethical, and true to his word. His pricing is very fair, he’s meticulous about the work and truly cares about quality. He was easy to reach at any time and always responsive. His crew totally gutted our bathroom and did a total renovation. We’re 100% happy with the result. We even worked with his designer (no extra fee) who helped us choose various things, like tile, faucets, etc. She was so helpful, and like Jeff, always available/responsive to us."

Susan M.

"Jeff and his team did an outstanding job on our bathroom remodel. Mike worked long hours to get it done on the tight deadline we had because of guests arriving. The work turned out to be more extensive than planned because of unforeseen water damage, and everyone took this is stride and made sure the project was still done right–and on time! Jeff was considerate of our budget and guided me to make good decisions on materials, taking labor costs into account as well. Their designer, Mary Sue, was so professional & friendly and right on top of every decision that needed to be made. 100% recommend Smither the Fixer. What a great experience!"

Andrea L.

"Jeff and his team did a fantastic job finishing our basement! They were communicative and easy to work with throughout the entire process. We are thrilled with the end result and will definitely call Jeff for future projects!"

Jeff guarantees his work to be done as expected, he comes back and checks on the job, gives his team direction and ensures quality work. On top of that he and his team are good people who care about the customer and the work that they are performing."
