Frequently asked questions

  • The size of your kitchen, the materials you choose, and the complexity of the job will greatly influence the cost. Cabinets often account for up to half of the total cost of a new kitchen and bathroom, and they’re usually the largest single expense in a remodel or upgrade. Cabinets come in a range of prices that reflect their quality, craftsmanship, and material. Keep in mind, if you try to save money by buying cheaper materials, you may end up having to replace surfaces years sooner than if you had purchased custom, high-quality products.

  • Projects can last anywhere from a few days to several months. The size of your space and the complexity of the remodel will dictate how long the work takes.

We will provide you with the estimated completion time for major milestones along the way.
