Avalon Kitchen is an experienced kitchen remodeling company focusing on modern kitchens, transitional kitchens, traditional kitchens, Asian kitchen design, Victorian kitchen design, or English Country kitchen design. We design indoor and outdoor kitchens, baths and wine & bar rooms.  We design to suit your personal style!

Fred Alvaro, the creator of Avalon Kitchen, has a passion to take the old, ordinary kitchen and re-tool, re-fresh and make it extraordinary. He has amassed several awards and a rooster of clients thrilled with their new kitchens and kitchen layouts!

Fred specializes in transforming existing kitchens, with the customer’s precise specifications into luxurious, yet affordable functioning gathering areas.  He also knows that the cost of remodeling is also a key component.  Kitchens are where friends and families gather to share a meal, linger and make memories; the heart of the home is the kitchen! 

Fred Alvaro was literally born into the home construction business. His grandfather was a mason his father a contractor. Under their direction he began his pre-teen years working with all sorts of construction material (cement, 4x4s, shingles, piping, lighting…) as well as learned every phase of the construction project (blue prints and permits to vendors and installs). He expresses his creativity through the whole process of the kitchen remodeling including;  kitchen planning, kitchen designs, kitchen layouts, kitchen material and customer management.

Alvaro, an Italian and gourmand chef by his own standards, knows the kitchen is the key to family and friends as well as functionality and that the heart of the house is the kitchen. The 4000 square foot show room conveys the must haves from the latest traditional style trends to the cosmopolitan contemporary kitchen theme ideas. A plethora of kitchens (including baths and wine rooms) are staged with samplings of kitchen plans and kitchen remodels that awe and inspire: selections from the timeless traditional kitchens to the bistro chic style kitchens. IF there is a kitchen layout not here there are still options available to customize even further! This can cover kitchen color schemes, kitchen countertops, kitchen floors, kitchen islands – anything.

**★★★★★ — lynchc3, July 2016**

> As the owner of Avalon Kitchens, Fred Alvaro was hands on from design to completion of our kitchen project. Fred's design greatly enhanced the aesthetics and efficiency of our kitchen. Fred's use of space that was underutilized had the effect of expanding our kitchen to twice its original size. The work crew was very professional, disruption to our household was minimal, the project was completed ahead of schedule, and within budget. The kitchen project exceeded our expectations.

**★★★★★ — 446carmel, Nov. 2015**

> We recently had the pleasure of working with Fred Alvaro of Avalon Kitchens in designing the kitchen for our new home. Fred was amazing to work with. He helped us create the kitchen of our dreams, we could not be happier. His knowledge and talent  brought our ideas to fruition. Throughout the project Fred was invaluable in guiding us through the complicated decision process. He has a wonderful personality, very caring and helpful. Our goal was a very sleek, modern aesthetic and that is exactly what we have. We highly recommend Fred Alvaro of Avalon Kitchens.

**★★★★★ — Dianne Shugrue, Nov. 2015**

> Fred Alvaro and his team were great.   Fred designed and oversaw the construction of a major bathroom overhaul.....I didn't even know some of what I wanted until Fred helped me 'see it'...The workmanship is outstanding....My master bath is as elegant and luxurious as any 5 star resort.

**★★★★★ — lyarusso2, Aug. 2015**

> We contacted Avalon Kitchen to order new kitchen cabinets.  Fred helped us pick out the cabinets, offered suggestions and assistance with the cabinets.  The cabinets arrived and were installed by our contractor.  The cabinets were beautiful, they were well made and looked absolutely gorgeous in our new kitchen.  Fred was very professional, knowledgeable and very courteous.  I would definitely recommend Avalon Kitchen to anyone.

**★★★★★ — carlskydog, June 2015**

> Avalon -- and owner Fred Alvaro -- did a complete kitchen renovation on our suburban home this spring.  Fred has excellent design skills, reworked some concepts to fit our budget and was always flexible and accommodating. Our job had a few bumps -- some avoidable, some unavoidable -- but, in the end, we wound up with a terrific new kitchen at a reasonable price. We would not hesitate to recommend Avalon.

**★★★★★ — denisefinning, Nov. 2014**

> Avalon Kitchen did a great job helping us with a remodel in our kitchen.  They ordered and installed new cabinets to match our existing and helped us configure our new layout.  I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to make a change and unsure where to start.  Fred has a great eye for design and knows how to work new trends into your existing space and within your budget.

**★★★★★ — larryzcpa, Oct. 2014**

> Fred Alvaro of Avalon Kitchen is worthy of our highest recommendation. He is most imaginative, creative and accommodating. He is is also extremely honest and gave us top value for our beautiful kitchen redesign. We appreciated his serving as our advocate with our kitchen renovations and greatly appreciate his 24/7 cell phone availability and extreme patience during our very lengthy kitchen design phase. We look forward to having Fred transform our bathroom next. Larry Z. and La Nette S.

**★★★★★ — boardsailorman, March 2014**

> We were extremely happy with the well-constructed and beautiful cabinets from Avalon Kitchen.  Fred was very helpful from the get-go and always treated us in a pleasant and upbeat manner.  The countertops were gorgeous and fit perfectly.  When one of the cabinets arrived damaged, Fred went himself to another city to receive shipment of the replacement cabinet and delivered it to our house for installation.  A month later, when there was a problem with some of the cabinet doors, he replaced them all at no cost to us!  We would be pleased to work with Fred at any time we have a future project.

**★★★★★ — vcolorito, Feb. 2014**

> I knew when I walked into Fred's showroom that I had met a design "soulmate."  He was able to transform my initial ideas into a reality with sound suggestions, an affordable selection of products and great follow-up service.  My small townhome kitchen was a throwback to the late 80's and had no style but with Fred's help, I had the basis of a kitchen that I could decorate to reflect my sense of design and personality.  The Miralis and St. Martin cabinets create a nice contrast and are easy to maintain, and the granite counter has garnered many well-deserved compliments.

**★★★★★ — aredlich, June 2012**

> Fred of Avalon Kitchens did an absolutely amazing job with our kitchen remodel. We get compliments all of the time. We went to several places first before hiring Fred. These other places were not in tune with our needs and wants, whereas Fred was.
>
> Fred was always helpful and present. There was a mix-up with some ordering of materials and a delay, but it was not Fred's fault and Fred was respectful of the consequences the delay had for us and our family.
>
> I highly recommend Avalon Kitchens. The materials and companies they use are also top-notch.

**★★★★★ — despinanicholas, June 2012**

> Fred was able to incorporate my ideas into his design to create a stunningly beautiful and functional kitchen.  His crew (Joe & David) treated my home is if it were theirs and worried about every detail being perfect.  The end result is a kitchen that is more beautiful than I ever could have imagined.  I could not be happier with the results.
