The kitchen your home was meant to have.

If your cabinet boxes are in good shape and you're happy with the layout, refacing or recoating gets you a fresh look for a lot less. If they're failing or you want a new layout, replacing makes more sense. We'll look at yours and tell you straight which is the better spend.

Partly. There's a stretch where the kitchen is out of commission, but we sequence the work to keep that window as short as we can. A lot of clients set up a small temporary kitchenette to get through it.

Countertops are templated once the cabinets are set, and installation is usually about a week after the template. That gap is built into every schedule we write. Appliances work differently: most clients buy their own, which saves them our 25 percent material markup, and we handle the installation. We will tell you which items are worth buying yourself and which are not.

If we open a wall and find outdated wiring, plumbing, or water damage, we show you, explain it, and price it transparently before moving ahead. You're never blindsided by the invoice.

Yes. We have a good eye for design and help you choose finishes that feel like a natural fit for your home, not a room that was obviously redone by someone else.

Kitchens cover a wide range because the scope does. A cabinet-and-counter refresh that leaves the layout alone is a different project from one that moves plumbing or takes out a wall. Cabinets are usually the largest single line, and structural work adds framing, a header, electrical rerouting, drywall and paint on top of the finishes. We write every estimate itemized with material and labor separated, so you can see exactly where the money goes and decide what stays in.

Expect several weeks without a working kitchen on a full renovation, not several days. Cabinet lead times often drive the schedule more than the labor does, so we order early and sequence demolition around the delivery date rather than tearing your kitchen out and then waiting on a truck.

In most older Atlanta houses, it is the change that makes the biggest difference, because these homes were built with the kitchen closed off at the back. Whether a wall can come out depends on whether it carries load from above, which you cannot tell from the paint. A load-bearing wall can almost always be removed, it just costs more because a header has to carry the span. We check what is in the wall and above it before we price it.
