What is included
A fresh finish, or a kitchen taken back to the studs.
Not every kitchen needs gutting. We look at what is sound and what is not, and price the options side by side so you can choose.
Cabinet refinishing
Sound cabinet boxes cleaned, sanded, primed and sprayed, with new hardware if you want it.
New cabinets
Layout planned with you, then cabinets installed level, scribed and trimmed out.
Countertops
Templating and installation coordinated so the kitchen is out of use for as short a time as possible.
Tile backsplash
Set, grouted and sealed by our own crew.
Layout changes
Walls opened, islands added, and doorways moved where the structure allows.
Drywall, trim and paint
Finished by the same people, so the last coat goes on after everything else is in.
In order
How a kitchen remodel runs, in order.
Plan and price
We measure, talk through how you use the room, and give you a written scope and price.
Protect and demo
The rest of the house is sealed off from dust. Old finishes come out and anything hidden gets dealt with.
Build
Framing changes, drywall, cabinets, tops and tile go in, in that order.
Paint and hand over
Trim and walls painted last, hardware fitted, and a walk-through with you.

Things worth deciding before work starts.
Refinish or replace
If the boxes are solid and the layout works, refinishing saves a great deal. If not, we will say so.Order early

Can you refinish my cabinets instead of replacing them?
Often, yes. If the cabinet boxes are sound, refinishing or refacing gives a new look for much less than replacement. We will tell you honestly once we have seen them.
How long will I be without a kitchen?
It depends on the scope and on material lead times. We give you a schedule with the estimate and order long-lead items before demolition starts.
Do you handle the whole job?
Yes. One crew does the carpentry, drywall, tile and paint under one contract, and we coordinate any licensed trades the job needs.
Do you work on second homes while the owner is away?
Yes. Many High Country homes are part-time residences. We agree access and send progress updates so you are not guessing.
