On time/on budget.

It went very well.

After agreeing to a contract, KTU ordered the materials and gave us a date in late April. We contacted the countertop people and picked out our countertop. We removed the old ceramic tile floor and the ceramic tile backsplash. We installed the new ceramic tile floor. The countertop was installed in late March by Boston Fabricators. See report on Boston Fabricators We then installed as much of the ceramic tile backsplash as we could keeping in mind the cabinet modifications that were to take place. On April 19th, KTU showed up to start the work. The old cabinet trim around the ceiling and the shelves around the window was removed by the carpenter and the cabinet modifications was started. Meantime the resurfacing people unrolled the laminate in an area at least 10 feet long, and then prepped the surface on the cabinet structure and installed the hinges on the new cabinet doors. The carpenter then built the surround for the refrigerator including a cabinet that had been built off site. The carpenter also modified the cabinet above the stove so that a microwave/convection oven could be installed above the stove. The electrical work had been done ahead of time. The installation of the wood laminate was started while the carpenter was doing his thing. It was pretty crowded in the kitchen with up to 4 people working there at the same time, but they all worked around each other very well. Doing wood working as a hobby, it was a pleasure watching these people doing their thing like an ochestra. After the modifications were complete, the carpenter started work on installing the spice racks, while the cabinet person completed installing the laminate. Once the laminate was installed, the doors were installed. When getting ready to install the spice racks, it was noted that tere was an empty space between the cabinet and the spice rack. KTU asked if we would like a wine rack installed to take up the space. It was decide to go this route, and the wine rack was built and installed. While the drawers were being installed with the cherry face, the carpenter installed the new crown molding aroung the top of the cabinets and also installed the light rail on the bottom of the cabinets. The work was completed in 3 days and the kitchen looked fantastic. Because of changes made during the installation, the doors for the spice racks had to be changed, so new doors had to be ordered. These new door s were installed on May 12th, which completed the job. The 2 carpenters, Dave and Matt were very professional and knowledgeable. All their work was done to their high standards. Jesse and Mike the KTU people involved in this project were also very professional and were very precise in their work. All of these people work very well together, occasionally jabbing each other good naturedly. Our thanks go to each of them for a job well done. .

They came out to the house and discussed options with me about my cabinets. They gave me an estimate to refurbish my cabinets. Refinishing my cabinets saved me a lot of money versus replacing. The work was done in a day. After all of the work was done I wasn't happy with a couple of doors. They came back out at no charge and did what was necessary to resolve the situation. I was very pleased with the results.

True to his word, Mike and his crew were in and out of the kitchen in three days. Workmanship was excellent and communication with the office in general was excellent! I highly recommend this company.
