FAQ
How much will it cost to remodel my kitchen?
This question is based on a few different factors. on the size of your kitchen, what type of wood species of cabinetry and what material of counter top you choose and whether or not you need new appliances. We encourage you to come and visit our showroom, bring with you some rough measurements, and pick out a door style and counter top you like and we can get you a estimate on how much your kitchen will cost.

No, We can assist in purchasing just the material if you choose to install it yourself.

  • Move items that may be in the way of installers coming in & out.
  • An area in the garage will be needed for storage of materials and debris.
  • The full use of your driveway will be needed by installers.
  • Keep pets out of harms way during the remodel.
  • Leave certain items out that you use daily, for example coffee maker, can opener, utensils.
  • Plan to wash dishes in bathroom or utility room sink.
  • Set up a secondary cooking area, possibly a microwave, toaster, etc.
  • Plan to eat out often.
  • During demolition there is always a possibility there is hidden damage, such as rotten wood, dry wall damage, electrical  or, plumbing that may need to be repaired or replaced. This is an unseen factor that will be addressed and a change of order form will need to be signed and paid for, before work progresses.
  • Be prepared to be in a mess for a while.
