Your Home Remodel Specialists
Welcome to ModerNash. We're Nick and April Ray.
We’ve been helping middle Tennessean’s make their homes more beautiful since 2007.
As the story goes…ModerNash began in 2007 with humble beginnings out of our home in Nashville, TN. What started as a basic furniture shipping company evolved into something we’ve cherished over the past 18+ years.
Our shipping business quickly grew out of our garage and we developed it into a retail business, offering in-stock merchandise and white glove services.
In 2010, we opened our first showroom in Nashville to showcase the quality products and services we offered.
Along the way, by helping our clients acquire cabinetry, materials, and home furnishings for their homes, we discovered a lack in the market...
We continually saw home owners frustrated because their designer and contractor were never on the same page. It probably goes without saying, but this created a lot of friction that slowed down projects and increased costs.
By honing in on this need, we began offering design services coupled with installation services primarily, but not limited to kitchens, bathrooms, and closets.
At that time we were only dealing with IKEA® cabinetry and home furnishings, but as we sought to develop our craft, we began looking for alternative cabinet options.
That's when we found there were companies who offered alternative boxes and fronts like Nieu Cabinet Doors, Semihandmade, Modern Twig, BoFronts, and Swedeboxx.
By this time, in 2018, our retail business had begun to take a backseat to our design and construction work and we made the hard decision to close our retail showroom in Nashville and move operations to Brentwood in 2019.
By 2023 we chose to stop all retail operations and focus solely on design + build work. We now work with those companies to offer high-quality, custom fronts to go with prefabricated cabinet boxes, which we call Semi-custom cabinetry. Semi-custom cabinetry provides the luxury of custom painted doors, yet is limited to certain styles and sizes.
After we moved to Brentwood, our design + build business grew and we had more clients requesting customizations that were not possible with semi-custom cabinetry.
Seeing as we’re not ones to settle for limitations, we sought out a solution…
Thus entered Cuisine Idéale, our custom cabinet partner. Cuisine Idéale is a family owned business which has been in operation for more than 50 years.
Their craftsmanship and quality are clearly seen in every product they make. Equally impressive is their integrity, as they are one of few custom cabinetry companies who offer a Lifetime Warranty on their products.
This brings us to today. ModerNash now offers tailor-made and turnkey design + build services for residential home renovations and remodels. We bring a stream-lined approach to design and build your dream kitchen, bathroom, closet, and beyond.
We're excited to show you all the beautiful options at our studio in Brentwood and help prepare the perfect plan for your home remodel.
Sincerely,
Nick and April Ray
