How about a kitchen remodel now?
By Paul Weideman

T he oldest section of the house, located a few miles up


Cerro Gordo Road, goes back perhaps to the 1920s.
On this day in mid-August, water is brightly, musically
flowing by in an acequia.
“This remodel job started with an old deck that was
ready to collapse,” said Bill Deuschle of Fabu-WALL-ous
Solutions, LLC. “We hand-excavated under the deck,
creating this shaded portal area, using helical piers to
anchor everything, and we designed this modified kiva
fireplace deep enough to cook pizzas, which the owners
wanted.”
The job includes much more than the kitchen, but that
may turn out to be the heart of the remodel, since the food-
prep room does tend to attract people.
A big island is part of the design. The old one was a
simple rectangle with a tile top. On the new island, one
end is wider and rounded to accommodate seating, and
Before and after: a Santa Fe
the top is clad with thick, colorful granite. “The owners are kitchen remodel by Fabu-
both geologists and they had a lot of fun with the stone,” WALL-ous Solutions, LLC
Deuschle said. “When they were selecting it, they were
talking about all the garnets and other things you can see
in it.”
The old kitchen had been virtually gutted; his crew had
about two weeks to go. All new cabinets included one unit
inset in a wall, which has, behind a door, folding spice-
bottle racks that swing out to reveal more food-storage
space behind. In an opposite wall is another cabinet niche
that will hold the Miele coffeemaker.
An arched, fully tiled recess for the stove has been
retained. The new stove is a high-end model in cobalt blue,
which should go nicely with the colorful tilework.
“Most of our clients like to keep some of the historic
value and also update the kitchen,” Deuschle said. “The
cabinets are all quarter-sawn oak, so the new integrates
with the old.”
Fabu-WALL-ous is a general contracting company and
does not do simple appliance upgrades. If a client also
wants to refinish or upgrade cabinets, that would be on the
small end of the company’s job spectrum.
“What we’re doing more and more is revitalization,
giving old spaces new life,” Deuschle said. “That describes
what people are wanting to do more than just ‘remodeling.’
This is a high-end kitchen, but they’re putting the available
dollars to where they’ll spend time and enjoy it.”
Deuschle, a native of Albuquerque, worked in Colorado
“We did reduce our crew size last winter — those were our Although Fabu-WALL-ous has always done remodels,

Maahs said, “We kind of outgrew that name.”
OK, so what do people want in a kitchen remodel these
days? “Largely working with aging inventory, the key
function we look at, the thing we get the most requests for
is aging-in-place functionality, opening up the spaces. The
kitchen is where everyone tends to gather, so we’re trying
to incorporate more of the home into the kitchen.”
Probably 90 percent of the kitchen remodels done by his
company, DMC for short, include a new appliance package.
“I’d say stainless steel is still number one, and there’s a new
stainless-steel finish out there that doesn’t get fingerprints
on it, so that’s very popular.”
Appliance brands depend on location, and by inference

Regarding the cost of making such changes, the most
expensive places to work in a house are the kitchen and
bathroom. If you’re redoing an entire kitchen, it’s typical to
spend at least $25,000.
Upgraded kitchen appliances are usually stainless steel,
“although I’m seeing more practicality,” he said. “Rather
than people being in love with the super-expensive
appliances just to have them, now you’re spending more
time searching the alternatives.”
People these days are taking more time to buy
something. The same thing is heard from the owners of
Santa Fe’s art galleries.
“Everyone is very cautious,” Chapman agreed. “We just
