"I am extremely happy and satisfied with their work. If you want knowledge and honesty hire Fran. He worked with me and didn’t pressure me to spend more money than I could afford. His coworker Allen was a hard worker and very talented and courteous. My deck looks wonderful and happy I can once again enjoy it."

"In a time where every tradesman is too busy, backed up, and overpriced Howard at H & Kids Home Renovations was a godsend. He responded quickly to my Angi request, we quickly scheduled an received a quote, worked out a time that wasnâ t months out, he came on time worked efficiently, and stayed on the quoted price. The work he did on our porch looks great and was a reasonable price considering other quotes that were many times higher. So grateful for Howard at H & Kids Renovations LLC."

"We had RNB Home Improvement remodel our kitchen and first floor bathroom. Mike Brickly was an absolute pleasure to deal with over the length of the project. He provided helpful suggestions and advice throughout the process. He promptly arrived for appointments and responded in a timely manner to calls. He went above and beyond at times to complete the project within the estimated timeframe. We are extremely happy with the result. His subcontractors were all professional and did great work. Mike extends great effort to assure customer satisfaction. Mike has completed other smaller projects for us, and we would wholeheartedly recommend him."

FAQs for kitchen remodel projects in East Haven, CT

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.
