Five services

If two of them sound like yours, that is normal. Say so on the walkthrough and the written scope covers both under one price.

What a kitchen costs in Tampa Bay

Three things move a kitchen from one range to the next, and they are the same three every time. No price list, because the only number worth anything comes after the walkthrough.

·Does anything move: sink, range or a wall

·Doors, refacing or new boxes

·Stone, or something lighter, on the counter

·One closed price, written, after a real walkthrough

Kitchen cabinet installation

New boxes are only as good as the wall behind them and the line they are set to. The first 2 hours decide whether the counter sits level. We price the wall repairs on the walkthrough, not after the boxes arrive.

·Old cabinets out and hauled away

·Walls patched and studs marked before a box goes up

·Boxes set level from the high point of the floor

·Trim, fillers and toe kicks listed one by one

03 / 05

Kitchen cabinet refacing

The boxes stay and everything you can see changes. Doors, drawer fronts and a new skin on every face. It only holds if the frames are prepped to bare material first. We check the sink base before anything is ordered.

·New doors and drawer fronts, hinges drilled fresh

·Every visible face skinned in veneer, laminate or thermofoil

·Swollen edges and grease dealt with before the glue

·Layout, counter and backsplash stay where they are

Close up of new white cabinet doors and black handles, cabinet door replacement

04 / 05

Kitchen cabinet door replacement

The frames stay. Only the doors, the drawer fronts and the hinges change. It is the cheapest way to change a kitchen, and it lives or dies in the measuring. One sample door is hung before 40 are ordered.

·Every opening measured twice into a door schedule

·New concealed hinges bored to the new doors

·Sample door hung before the order goes in

·Frames cleaned, drawer slides checked

Kitchen countertop installation

Quartz, granite or solid surface, templated on the boxes you have. The seam location, the overhang support and the sink in hand are decided a week before the slab is cut. That week is the whole job.

·Boxes shimmed level before the template

·Seam drawn and agreed before the cut

·Support built under any overhang past the limit

·Plumbing reconnected by the trade licensed for it

Not sure which one is yours? Start here.

Most kitchens are one of these five cases. Read the line that sounds like your house. The page it points to is the one to open first. On every one of them, plumbing and electrical go to the licensed trade named in your scope. Cabinets, doors, counters and walls are ours.

The boxes are solid and the doors look dated

New doors, or a reface if the frames are the wrong color. Both keep the boxes. Both cost a fraction of new cabinets, and the kitchen keeps working while they happen. The walkthrough tells you which of the two your frames need.

The sink base is soft or the boxes are falling apart

New cabinets, at least for that run. A skin or a new door on a rotten box is money on a problem that keeps growing. We open the sink base on the walkthrough, because that is where a box fails first.

You want the sink, the range or a wall moved

That is a layout job. It starts with new cabinets and it brings in a licensed plumber or electrician, named in your scope. Order nothing until the layout is drawn. The cheapest change is the one made on paper.

The counter is the thing you hate

A new countertop on sound boxes. It is templated on the boxes you have, and the sink has to be on site before the template. If the boxes are soft, that gets fixed first, or the stone cracks at the seam.

You want a number before anything else

Read the cost page. It gives you the 3 questions that put any kitchen in a range. It also shows what a low bid quietly leaves out. There is no price list, because the only number worth anything comes after the walkthrough.

The same five steps on every kitchen above.
