Kitchen Damage is Repaired Professionally

A few weeks ago, we were contacted by a young man in need of a kitchen remodeler in Afton. He’d run into some trouble recently, as his kitchen had been damaged during a bad storm. A branch broke his window, letting in water and debris that damaged the cabinets and floors. He decided instead of simply replacing the damaged bits, he would hire a kitchen remodeler and renovate the whole room. We sent someone out for a free consultation to determine the scope of the project.

It turned out that most of the damage would be taken care of by removing the damaged pieces. The customer gave us some ideas on the design he was interested and we whipped up a plan for the project, including a cost estimate and timeline. The man hadn’t found another home remodeling contractor in his area that could compare, so he decided to go forward with our plan.

We began by removing the water-damaged floors and cabinets, and replacing the broken window. The man wanted the space to have a cabin-esque vibe, so we decided to go with wood floors, cabinets, and even countertops! We used wood that mimicked a crosscut of a tree trunk for the center island, which the customer loved. For the fixtures, we chose everything in a copper tone and found a deep, copper, basin sink to match.

Halfway through the project, the young man came to us with a question: would we be able to renovate his bathroom as well? We told him that we also have extensive experience as a bathroom remodeler, and got to work on a plan for the bathroom as well. We chose a dark tile for the floors, but otherwise kept with the wood theme, installing a wooden vanity with a dark copper sink built into the top.

With multiple projects going on, things could have gotten hectic and muddled, but it was easy for us to keep track of the entire process, as we coordinate all the work that is done for the remodel. It’s important for the success of our company and the satisfaction of our customers that we are aware of every detail to ensure the project stays on budget and on schedule.

When the work was finally done, we gave the customer a runthrough of any maintenance the remodel would need, so he knew how to take care of his new space. The young man was overjoyed with how the kitchen and bathroom turned out, and couldn’t wait to invite his mom over for dinner to show it all off.
