Your Kitchen Shouldn't Look Like a Crime Scene

We've all seen it: the kitchen remodel that started in March and it's now September, there's no running building, the walls are half-destroyed, and the contractor "will be right back" after lunch (two weeks ago).

Kitchen remodeling is complicated, but it doesn't have to be a nightmare. We plan it, permit it, build it, and finish it. All while you can actually use your sink.

Beautiful modern kitchen remodel

We coordinate the contractor, electrician, tile guy, cabinet installer — the whole circus. You get one point of contact (us), one timeline, one warranty.

Design consultation is included. We'll help you pick finishes that look good together and won't be dated in five years. Pinterest is not a design plan.

Planning Prevents Problems

Here's what separates good contractors from the guys who disappear at the first sign of complications: we plan everything twice before we build it once.

Detailed drawings, material schedules, permit applications, subcontractor coordination — all handled before we break ground. When problems come up (they always do), we're ready.

Quality materials cost more upfront but save you money in the long run. We don't use builder-grade garbage and hope for the best. Properly installed, quality materials last decades.
