What we do

The parts of a kitchen or bath you see and touch.

Vanities, tops, mirrors and accessories
Wood-look plank and tile flooring
Drywall repair, paint and trim
Board and batten and other wall details
Cabinets, shelving and pantry built-ins
Tile work in the same layout

Small repairs too. Drywall patches, sticking doors, trim, caulk and paint touch-ups, anywhere in the house. Send a photo of each item and we'll price the list together.

Plumbing and electrical, handled

When your kitchen or bath needs a plumber or electrician, we bring in a licensed pro and manage the work with the rest of the job. It's on the same estimate, the same timeline and the same daily updates, so you don't have to manage anyone yourself.

Moving or adding plumbing, new valves, water heaters
Light fixtures, fans, switches, outlets, new circuits
Heating and air changes

North Carolina requires a licensed contractor for this work (G.S. 87-43, G.S. 87-21). Each trade's work shows on its own line of your estimate.

Before & after · rental bath refresh

A rental bath, dated teal to sea-glass.

Walls patched and repainted, a new plank floor and a new vanity with a granite top. Drag the line to compare.

Rental bathroom before the refresh, seen from the doorway: teal walls, a white tub surround and an unfinished floor — Same doorway view, before and after. Three more views

The same rental bathroom after, from the doorway: light sea-glass green walls, new plank floor, white tub surround and a patterned shower curtain — Same doorway view, before and after. Three more views

Inlet & Oak did an amazing complete make-over of our bathroom for less than half of what other vendors quoted. The craftsmanship in the board and batten, vanity, and shower installs is everything we hoped for.

New grey-wood vanity with a white granite top, brushed-nickel faucet and a rope toilet-roll holder — New vanity with a granite top

New drywall patch with joint compound around the vanity supply valves and drain, before paint — Drywall patched behind the vanity before paint

Before: a mustard-yellow mudroom with an old storage bench and a diagonal-beadboard back under the window — Before: mustard walls and the old bench under the window

The pantry nearly finished: a chevron butcher-block counter on open white base cabinets, an open upper cabinet beside the window and a pale blue-green diagonal-beadboard accent wall, before the cabinet doors went on — Now: the same window and wall, with a chevron butcher-block counter and new cabinets

Close-up of the new pantry countertop: butcher block with light and dark wood strips laid in a chevron pattern — Detail: the chevron butcher-block top

Finishing touches Same window, same wall. Cabinet doors and the finished wide shot are still to come.

An old mudroom, turned into a pantry.

The room had become a storage closet. The old built-in bench had mold in the drywall inside it, so it came out and the wall was opened to find the cause first. Then came a chevron butcher-block counter, white upper and lower cabinets and a beadboard accent wall.

Inlet & Oak did a phenomenal job of re-imaging an old mudroom that had basically become a storage closet and turned it into a beautiful, useful pantry with butcher-block countertops and ample storage.

Permits

Do I need a permit?

Often not for cosmetic work. North Carolina generally doesn't require a permit for work of $40,000 or less in a single-family home, unless it touches load-bearing structure or adds or changes plumbing, electrical or HVAC.

Source: G.S. 160D-1110(c). We'll tell you which applies at the visit.

Do you work in Oak Island too?

Yes. Kitchens and baths are offered in both Raleigh and Oak Island. Coastal projects sometimes have extra rules, such as flood-zone and wind-load requirements for structural work, and we check those up front.

Can I see the price before anyone comes out?

Yes. The instant quote shows a range from published data in about a minute. The written price comes after a short visit.

Do you design the space?

For a refresh or a remodel in the same footprint, we'll walk through choices with you at the visit: vanity, floor, paint, tile and hardware. Bigger layout changes may need an architect or designer.

It takes about a minute, there's no address or email to give, and the number comes with its sources.
