The Kitchen Studio

What The Kitchen Studio does

The Kitchen Studio is a kitchen and bath design and remodeling showroom operating as a division of Pine Street Carpenters, Inc., a privately held, family-owned firm based in West Chester, Pennsylvania. Founded in 1993, Pine Street Carpenters established The Kitchen Studio showroom to give homeowners in the Chester County and greater Philadelphia region direct access to curated custom cabinetry, premium countertop materials, and full design-build services for kitchen, bath, and whole-home renovation projects. The company's core offering is an integrated design-build workflow that takes customers from initial consultation and design through product selection, project management, and on-site installation, with dedicated in-house designers, project managers, and carpenters supplemented by subcontracted trades.

The product portfolio is anchored by partnerships with multiple premium cabinetry manufacturers, including Plain & Fancy Custom Cabinetry, Wood-Mode, Dura Supreme, and Bridgewood, alongside countertop suppliers Caesarstone, Cambria quartz, Corian solid surfaces, and Grothouse custom wood countertops. All cabinet partners hold Environmental Stewardship Program (ESP) certification from the Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Association. The business operates on a quote-based, project-priced model with revenue generated from two streams: professional design services and product sales of cabinetry and countertops, plus construction labor. Distribution is centered on a single physical showroom at 901 S. Bolmar St., supplemented by a trade channel serving builders, contractors, architects, and interior designers.

Go-to-market is showroom-led and reputation-driven, supported by an extensive portfolio of customer testimonials, regional press coverage (County Lines Magazine, Main Line Today, Daily Local News, Kitchen & Bath Design News), and a sustained track record of industry awards including six Best of Houzz designations (2017, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2024, 2026), multiple Best of the Main Line recognitions, Guildmaster Awards, and a Remodeling Magazine Big 50 honor. The company also operates The 100 Wheels Project, a community bicycle-giving program active since 2008, as a brand-building and community engagement initiative. Customer segments are primarily residential homeowners, with a secondary B2B channel serving building industry professionals.
