Common questions

Do you do full gut kitchens or just refreshes?

Both. Refreshes (paint, hardware, counters, backsplash) start around $18K. Full gut with layout changes runs $60–85K+.

Can I supply my own cabinets or appliances?

Yes. Client-supplied items are noted in the written scope with install-only labor separated from material cost.

How long will I be without a kitchen?

Plan for 3–7 weeks. We stage demo, cabinets, and counters so the sink and one appliance are usable most of that time.
