About Us

Lancaster’s Kitchen Remodeling Experts for 30+ Years

Every homeowner has a story about their house. Maybe your kitchen feels outdated and cramped. Maybe your bathroom doesn’t offer the comfort you need. Or maybe you’ve always dreamed of finishing your basement into a space your family actually wants to use.

At Custom Kitchens & Design, we’ve built our business around solving these frustrations. For more than three decades, our team has been helping homeowners across Lancaster, Chester County, and the Philadelphia Main Line transform their homes into spaces that feel fresh, functional, and true to their style.

Our story started with owner Joe Stillman, who grew up learning the craft of construction from his uncle. That early passion for building turned into a family business rooted in craftsmanship, honesty, and care. Today, our team carries that same commitment forward, offering everything from budget-friendly stock cabinets to fully custom Amish-built kitchens.

No matter what your project looks like, our promise is always the same: clear communication, honest estimates, and a design that feels like home.

Have a Bigger Project on Your hands?

Work With Our Partner Company

Kitchen and cabinetry projects are just part of what we do. Our family of businesses also includes All Phase Construction, LLC, a full-service remodeling company we’ve run for more than 30 years. From additions and finished basements to decks, windows, and doors, All Phase brings the same attention to detail and customer care that defines Custom Kitchens & Design.

Together, we’re able to serve homeowners throughout Central Pennsylvania with projects large and small — whether you need a simple cabinet upgrade or a full-home renovation.

Our Promise To Homeowners in Lancaster, Chester, and Beyond

We believe no two homes should look the same, because no two families live the same way. 

That’s why we:

  • Treat every project as one-of-a-kind
  • Offer cabinetry and design solutions for every budget, from stock to custom Amish-built
  • Communicate clearly from your first consultation through your final walkthrough

When you choose Custom Kitchens & Design, you’re not just hiring a remodeler. You’re choosing a partner who cares about making your house feel like home.

Why Homeowners Choose Custom Kitchens & Design

In-House Design Support

Instead of leaving you to figure it out on your own, our in-house designer will walk you through layouts, materials, and finishes. We help you make choices with confidence.

Local Lancaster Showroom

Photos only tell part of the story. At our showroom, you can see cabinetry, countertops, and finishes in person, compare options side by side, and imagine how they’ll look in your home.

Clear, Personal Service

We treat your project like it’s our own. You’ll always know where things stand, and you’ll never feel like just another number on a contractor’s list.
