Kitchen remodeling · New Hope, PA
New Hope Borough and the surrounding Solebury Township are home to some of the most architecturally interesting properties in Bucks County: stone farmhouses, historic rowhomes along the Delaware Canal, converted carriage houses and carefully maintained Victorians. Kitchens in these homes carry both the character and the constraints of their age. At Atlas Design & Build, we work with New Hope homeowners on custom kitchen remodeling that respects the bones of the home while raising the standard of how it functions. We are based in Bucks County and manage every project directly.

Local knowledge
Kitchens in New Hope and Solebury are shaped by the buildings around them. Stone farmhouses bring thick walls, deep window openings, exposed beams, low ceilings and sometimes an original hearth. Converted barns and carriage houses bring open volumes that need structure and zoning within a single room. The goal in these homes is a kitchen that feels like it belongs to the house.
New Hope Borough sits within a historic district, and exterior changes such as a new window, a door or a hood vent through an outside wall go through historic review in addition to the building permit. We are EPA Lead Safe certified for homes built before 1978 and assess older kitchens carefully at the first visit, since stone, plaster and older wiring are common here.
Outside the borough, many Solebury properties rely on private wells, on-lot septic systems and, often, propane rather than natural gas. That affects a kitchen in practical ways: water treatment for hard or iron-rich water, whether a garbage disposal is a good idea on a septic system and how a professional range and hood are fueled and vented.
Our scope
New Hope kitchens call for design that respects an older house and practical planning for rural systems. These are the areas we focus on here.
Working with thick walls, beams, low ceilings and original hearths to create a kitchen that suits the house.
Defining a kitchen within a large open volume with islands, lighting and cabinetry that give it structure.
Water treatment, disposal decisions and fuel and venting for professional ranges planned from the start.
Hoods and metal details fabricated in-house, an Atlas specialty that gives a kitchen its focal point.
Every project also includes design, permitting, cabinetry, licensed plumbing and electrical, flooring and finish selection. See our full kitchen remodeling services.
Our approach
Homes in New Hope and Solebury are rarely standard, and their kitchens should not look like they came from a catalog. We design around the architecture, keeping the character that makes the house distinctive while bringing the plumbing, electrical and ventilation up to a modern standard.
You receive a written scope that accounts for the realities of an older or rural home, a clear schedule and one point of contact throughout.

Questions
It is possible, but disposals add solids to a septic tank and can mean more frequent pumping. Many homeowners on septic choose to skip the disposal or use a septic-rated model. We talk through the tradeoffs during design.
Yes. Most professional ranges can be configured for propane, which is common outside the borough. We confirm the fuel source early and size the hood and venting to match the range's output.
Interior kitchen work goes through the standard building permit. Historic district review applies to exterior changes, such as a new or enlarged window, a door or an exterior hood vent. We plan for that review from the first conversation when a project needs it.
