Three things we do differently
See it in 3D before work starts
Ask for a full rendering of your project and approve the design before anything is built.
Your kitchen stays usable
We don’t demolish at contract signing. Your old kitchen stays in place through design and sign-off, then demolition and installation happen back to back. You are without a working kitchen for only 2 days.
Designed to your budget
We work within your budget, as long as it is realistic, and design from your mood board and inspiration photos.
Renovation services
Residential and commercial, from a single bathroom to a whole house. Every service page lists price tiers, timelines, and permit requirements.
Kitchen renovation
A new kitchen designed in 3D first, with your old kitchen left usable until the design is signed off.

The kitchen stays usable
We don’t take your kitchen apart until we’re ready to put the new one in
The biggest worry we hear is weeks without a working kitchen. So we don’t demolish at contract signing. Your old kitchen stays in place through design and sign-off. Demolition and installation then happen back to back.
Design and sign-off
Your old kitchen is untouched and usable.
Demolition and preparation
Start 7 to 9 days after design approval.
Cabinets
Installed in one day.
Countertops and everything else
The next day.
- In total, you are without a working kitchen for 2 days.
Approve the design before anything is built
A floor plan tells you where things go. A rendering shows you the room. You can ask for a full 3D rendering of your project, request changes while they are still free to make, and sign off only when it is right.
We design from your mood board and inspiration photos, and within your budget, as long as it is realistic for the space.

“How much will it cost?”
It is the first question nearly everyone asks, so we answer it in the open. Our cost guides set out three price tiers for each kind of project and explain what moves a renovation from one to the next.
