Prime 1 Builders Featured on Pittsburgh’s Finest Kitchens

In a recent episode of Pittsburgh’s Finest Kitchens, Dan Meade, owner of Prime 1 Builders, shares insights into the company’s approach to custom home building and remodeling.  

Complete Customization from Design to Construction 

Established in 1993, Prime 1 Builders set out to revolutionize the construction experience in Pittsburgh with a vision to create a better, more personalized building experience. We pride ourselves on being a comprehensive custom home builder. As Dan Meade explains, “We handle everything from design through construction. You don’t have to add anything yourself other than selections, decisions, and standing back and watching your dream come true.” 

The video interview highlights a particular project of a Mt. Washington condo where Prime 1 transformed a space for homeowners who love cooking and entertaining. Dan details the thoughtful design considerations, such as spacing cabinets and countertops for a homeowner with mobility challenges. This attention to detail ensures that the space is not only beautiful but also functional and accessible. 

Modernizing Space and Design 

The transformation of the kitchen is particularly striking. Originally, it was “dated back to finishes probably from the 70s and 80s.” The complete renovation included creating a long island and a linear space, making the kitchen more welcoming and functional for the homeowners, who are avid cooks and entertainers. 

Additionally, by opening the space to the magnificent views of Pittsburgh and adding features like a dry bar and wine cooler, Prime 1 created an inviting environment perfect for entertaining.

Dan mentions, “We had this view every day while we were doing the work here.” 

As you watch the video, you’ll notice the seamless integration of design elements, from the countertops and backsplash to the cabinetry and appliances. Dan notes the importance of choosing materials and colors that complement each other—creating a cohesive and elegant look. Features like the induction cooktop and hidden inserts ensure the space remains modern and uncluttered. 

Even smaller spaces like the laundry room are given careful consideration. Despite its size, the laundry room is highly functional and visually appealing, featuring thoughtful additions like a countertop for folding clothes. Dan emphasizes the challenge and satisfaction of making every space, no matter how small, both usable and beautiful.
