"From the moment we first met with Josh and Katy from WJB construction to discuss the remodeling of our fifty-two-year-old bathroom, my husband and I knew that they were the contractors for us. Five things impressed us about them, 1.) They listened to us as we described our vision for the extensive remodel and the need for our bathroom to be able to withstand heavy use yet also be a beautiful rejuvenating space in our home, 2.) They responded to all our questions and concerns, setting up a text chain for any issues that would come up, 3.) They assured us of their help and support every step of the way— from ordering materials (giving us a contact list of retail outlets), and 4.) They were accountable —a work schedule with flexibility on our end and frequent visits to track job progress or for any needed changes, and, most importantly, 5.) They promised quality work and the best materials—they would not use the cheapest material nor do half an effort on the labor. These five qualities shown us by WJB Construction gave us the confidence to continue with our bathroom renovation. As a daughter whose father was a fourth-generation carpenter, I knew we had picked a construction company that we could depend on to give us the bathroom of our dreams. And WJB Construction delivered! Our bathroom more than meets our needs and is a beautiful refreshing space in our home. Thank you, Josh and Katy!"

Your galley kitchen needs adequate clearance around any island installation to maintain functionality. Most galley kitchens lack sufficient width for traditional islands, as these layouts prioritize efficiency in smaller spaces.
If your kitchen has an unusual width, consult with a kitchen designer who can evaluate your specific dimensions and recommend appropriate solutions. For narrower spaces, consider alternatives like rolling carts or narrow work tables that provide additional surface area without permanently restricting movement.
Kitchen remodels require six to 10 weeks for completion, though timelines vary based on project scope and material availability. Simple updates like cabinet refinishing and countertop replacement might finish within a few weeks, while comprehensive renovations involving structural changes often extend beyond two months.
Planning stages add approximately four weeks before construction begins. Maintaining clear communication with your contractor and ordering materials early helps prevent unnecessary delays.
Common errors include insufficient clearance between opposing countertops, inadequate lighting that creates shadowy work areas, and poor storage planning that leaves countertops cluttered. Some homeowners select oversized appliances that overwhelm the space or invest in expensive features that don't address fundamental workflow issues.
Careful planning, accurate measurements, and consultation with experienced professionals help avoid these pitfalls and ensure your renovation successfully addresses your kitchen's specific challenges.
Whether expansion makes sense depends on your home's layout, your budget, and your long-term plans. Combining a galley kitchen with neighboring spaces creates more open, flexible layouts that many buyers prefer. However, removing walls involves substantial costs, particularly if they contain plumbing, electrical systems, or structural elements.
Sometimes, optimizing your existing galley layout through better storage solutions and lighting proves more cost-effective than expansion. Consult with a contractor to evaluate specific costs for your situation.
Effective galley kitchen lighting combines multiple sources to eliminate shadows and create visual spaciousness. Overhead fixtures provide general illumination, while under-cabinet lighting illuminates work surfaces directly. Consider recessed ceiling fixtures that don't protrude into limited headspace.
Lighting with dimming capabilities allows adjustment for different activities. Reflective surfaces like glass tile backsplashes or glossy cabinet finishes help bounce light throughout the space, reducing the corridor effect common in galley layouts.
