Kitchen Islands for Gilbert Homes

In a Gilbert great room, the island is where homework, snacks and dinner prep all happen. The small angled or two-seat islands many builders installed often can't handle that.

A bigger island needs walkway room on every side, usually more than people expect. We measure to the fridge, range and dishwasher so doors open without hitting anyone.

Most Gilbert homes sit on a concrete slab. A sink or outlets in the island mean cutting a trench in the slab for plumbing or conduit, then patching it before flooring.

Kitchen Island Installation Questions

Can I replace my angled island with a rectangle?

Usually, yes. It often fits more seats and storage, but the floor under the old island will need patching or new flooring.

What clearance does a bigger island need?

Enough to open appliances and pass a second cook. We measure your room and show you what fits.

Do you have to cut the slab for an island sink?

Yes. Plumbing runs under the floor, so we trench the slab, plumb the drain and patch it before the island goes in.

Can an island be added without remodeling the whole kitchen?

Often. We match or contrast the existing cabinets and plan the countertop to work with what's there.
