experience
We organize our services around scheduled consultations rather than maintaining a conventional walk-in showroom. The first stage involves visiting the homeowner, measuring the existing kitchen, and discussing desired changes. From there, we create preliminary computer designs and review possible refinements with the client. Detailed specifications follow, covering cabinetry, floors, appliances, and additional design components. Customers can inspect cabinet construction through our glass countertop displays and explore a wide variety of finishes and door styles. Three-dimensional renderings help illustrate the intended results before final selections are made. We direct our resources toward experienced designers and cabinetry value, enabling homeowners to make well-informed choices throughout their kitchen renovation planning.

Services
Kitchen Design
We have designed more than 100 kitchens showcased on our Houzz page, reflecting our commitment to professional kitchen planning. Our office-based business model minimizes overhead while offering eight cabinet brands with multiple styles and finishes. By requiring a modest deposit before extensive measurement and preliminary design work, we focus our expertise on customers preparing for renovation.
Cabinet Sales
Customers can choose from our eight carefully selected cabinet lines, offering excellent value through competitively priced upgrades. We supply both framed and frameless cabinetry with semi-custom and custom configurations. Available materials range from maple and cherry to bamboo and mahogany. Our cabinets incorporate solid wood dovetail drawers, full-extension soft-close tracks, and limited lifetime warranty protection.
Countertop Brands
We present a diverse assortment of countertop brands to support different interior styles and surface preferences. From Cambria's durable American-made quartz to Silestone's hybrid mineral technology, our collections offer distinctive material characteristics. Viatera, Colorquartz, and MSI contribute additional quartz choices, while Corian and Wilsonart provide flexible solid surface designs. Our selection includes extensive colors, patterns, and finishes.
Kitchen Design Process
We prioritize the quality of your kitchen design rather than encouraging unnecessary spending on expensive products. Our designers consider different layouts while explaining how cabinetry choices, finishes, and materials influence overall costs. The process includes preliminary planning, accurate measurements, and refined 3D designs. Customers may also review our extensive selection of cabinet brands and accessories.

From design to execution, MLKD was there every step of the way. Working with our designer, Ed was an easy and natural experience. He provided input, but also let us have our voice in the creative process. The kitchen came out beautifully, and we love cooking and entertaining in it everyday!

I first met Paul about 15 years ago when he designed a complete kitchen remodel for my home in Narberth. From the very beginning, it was clear that he brought not only exceptional expertise to his work, but also an extraordinary level of dedication, thoughtfulness, and generosity. He genuinely cares about creating spaces that are both beautiful and functional, and he pours himself into every project.
Over the years, I’ve hired Paul several more times. One of those projects was a very high-end kitchen in another home with a particularly challenging layout. Because the stakes felt so high, I consulted with several designers before making my decision. In the end, I knew I was going to choose Paul—and I’m so glad I did. His design was by far the strongest, and the finished kitchen exceeded every expectation I had. To this day, it’s one of my favorite spaces.
Most recently, Paul designed the kitchen for one of my rental properties, and once again, he absolutely knocked it out of the park. His guidance was invaluable. What I love about working with Paul is that he never thinks only about the kitchen. He naturally sees the whole home and generously shares ideas for improving every space, always balancing beauty, function, and value. His input consistently makes the entire house better.
Paul is one of those rare people whose talent is matched by his integrity, generosity, and commitment. His creativity, attention to detail, and ability to solve even the most challenging design problems are truly exceptional. I trust his judgment completely, and I can honestly say there is no one else I would want designing a kitchen for me. I recommend him with absolute confidence and enthusiasm.

Amazing kitchen and basement kitchenette designed by Jeremy at Main Line Kitchen design. Jeremy spent months following up on the kitchen details as the contractor was completing the work.

After moving to the area from Charlotte, NC we conducted endless research to find a high quality , reasonably priced K&B to completely overhaul our 70's kitchen as part of our gut renovation. We met with at least 7 companies and narrowed it to 2. Received pricing on the exact same kitchen layout, Semi-Custom brand of cabinets, door style, and finish. I was astonished at the price difference for one, but also the attention to detail and service we received during this process alone from Mainline kitchens. Because of this, we decided to work with Jeremy Lista and Mainline Kitchens, and we could not be happier with our new kitchen! As a designer I already had a plan drawn up but Jeremy made it better with small but meaningful tweaks, and also helped me create an entirely new cabinet as a hidden pantry door and a custom made hood that was not offered by Brighton at the time. There were a few hiccups with Brighton along the way but Jeremy was on top of every issue with them and had things fixed or replaced immediately. Next up will be bathrooms and, after such a great experience, we now enlist Jeremy @ Mainline Kitchens for all of our own renovation clients in the area!

Mainline kitchens stands alone. From beginning to end the whole process was seamless. I got 4 other estimates and Mainline kitchen was the most reasonable. Excellent cabinet choices and countertops. The contractor was punctual, dependable and his work is first class.

We are completely elated with our newly renovated kitchen. After filling out an online form Paul called the next day and explained the entire process. Of course, we chose to move forward. The initial contact with our designer Jeremy L went well and we soon saw 2 complete 3D renderings of what our kitchen could become. Jeremy proposed moving an existing door to maximize our space, and we were floored. The design, workmanship of the contractor and professionalism of the whole team was exceptional. Our new kitchen is phenomenal; it is a functional work of art. Mainline Kitchen Design are true artisans. My wife and I are eternally grateful for the care and experience of you all for helping our dreams become a reality., Thank you from, Mark and Rhonda!

We had an outstanding experience with Main Line Kitchen Design from start to finish. Their team demonstrated exceptional project management, clear and consistent communication, and a genuine commitment to quality. They stayed closely involved throughout the process, checking in regularly and ensuring the contractor’s work met their high standards.
Paul, one of the designers, brought deep expertise and creativity to the project. He consistently offered thoughtful, innovative solutions that elevated both the look and functionality of our kitchen. This is in my opinion what truly sets Main Line Kitchen apart: their ability to strike the perfect balance between a beautiful design and a highly functional kitchen and workspace. They also respected the project timeline, which we greatly appreciated. We couldn’t be happier with the result and highly recommend them.

The team at Main Line Kitchen Design is INCREDIBLE. This was my first major renovation project, and Chris was incredibly patient with me and helpful every step of the way. He didn't just design a beautiful kitchen, he also helped me hire a contractor, problem solved with us throughout the project, managed delivery and installation of our cabinets in person, and returned frequently to make sure everything was going as planned. I could not recommend him and this business more highly. Chris even came back to our home several months after the project finished to adjust a crooked cabinet door. Truly the most supportive and knowledgable people I have ever had the pleasure of working with.

Mainline Kitchen was great. We were stumped as to how to incorporate an island in our narrow space. Designer Doug
Mottershead figured out a great island that seats a lot of bodies. He also steered us to cabinets we could get quickly as we had a wedding coming up. He measured and ordered and provided guidance on some tricky construction details. It all worked out and would definitely use this company again.

Chris did an amazing job with our kitchen, pantry, living room built ins, mud room bench, vanities and laundry room designs. We couldn’t be happier with the cabinets and the designs. Chris helped us pick the exact cabinets for the application and the budget for each space. As a builder and contractor I was amazed that not one piece was short with this enormous order. I highly recommend Main Line Kitchen Design!

I can’t begin to tell you how much a pleasure it was to work in with Jeremey and the main line kitchen design crew. We were walked through the kitchen design process seamlessly making sure that all our wants were added in. There was some hiccups (which happens with every project) that was at no fault of theirs and they helped us work through EVERYTHING and got everything taken care of! Highly recommend them for all your kitchen needs!!!!

We chose Mainline for our kitchen design needs and couldn’t be happier! Jeremy was so patient and took all of our requests and vague ideas of what we wanted and created a beautiful and thoughtful design. He was incredibly patient during cabinet selection and took the time to walk us through so many options and variations. He also suggested visiting the wolf/sub-zero showroom, which we were uncertain of at first, but turned out to be amazing and so helpful. Mainline reached out to a couple of their recommended contractors, which allowed us to get a competitive bid and find an amazing general contractor. Jeremy stayed in touch throughout the construction process, and was very quick to respond to any questions that came up, and just made the whole process go as smooth as possible. We sincerely appreciate the huge role Jeremy played in our kitchen transformation!

Our new kitchen is now complete and we can happily report that we were very pleased with our overall experience with Main Line Kitchen Design. Chris did an excellent job in creating a kitchen design that enabled us to keep our "eat in" kitchen, yet modernize the layout. He came up with an idea that no one else had thought of! He was able to skillfully help us navigate through all of the decisions that we needed to make. We truly appreciated the fact that Main Line Kitchen was able to offer us the names of several contractors instead of having to search for contractors on our own. We were well pleased with the contractor we chose. Thank you for helping us make the plan of a remodeled kitchen a reality.

We are so happy with our new kitchen from MLKD. We had a very outdated kitchen that was way overdue for a change. Jeremy did a fantastic job with the design and layout. The old dingy space is now light and bright and so well appointed, with very minimal structural changes. Communication was good-everything was easy. Would highly recommend them!
