"We hired Pedro to do our kitchen - because the work was so incredibly done - we asked that he come back to lay vinyl flooring. Again- Pedro and his crew did an amazing job. We will continue to hire him for more of our house renovations"

KitchenAlity was born when Mike Mulvihill, a State of Florida licensed contractor who has a bachelors degree in engineering and graduate studies in architecture under his belt, opened KitchenAlity, a full-service kitchen design and remodeling company that specializes in creating kitchens with personality (and Bathrooms too). Only installing cabinetry from manufacturers whose products meet his meticulous standards, Mike and his experienced team of professionals have turned KitchenAlity into the premier kitchen remodel company and showroom in the Tampa Bay, FL area.
"Hired Mike to remodel my kitchen, hang new cabinets with lights under them, lay hardwood floors, baseboards, and other work. After over a year the job is still not done and the deficiencies have not been fixed, despite his promises. The floors were not installed or secured correctly and the edges and sides stick up higher then the other boards and they pop when you step on them. The floorboards do not reach to the center island and there is a noticeable large gap between the floor and center island . The light fixtures were not connected and he left the wires just hanging under the cabinets. The crown molding was installed off center and not evenly connected. despite numerous promises the job is still not done or corrected despite him being paid over $15,000. Worse job and contractor I have ever hired."

"PLEASE READ. DO NOT USE SMITH CUSTOM HOMES! WE TERMINATED CONTRACT & SHARE OUR STORY SO NO OTHER FAMILY HAS SAME EXPERIENCE. SCH used bait & switch tactics & misrepresentation to sell what they couldn't deliver. We signed in 7/22, and as of 8/23, still hadn't broken ground. SCH made promises & was unable to meet any of them, to the point that our loan was 2 months from being pulled due to NO evidence of construction. We expect SCH may respond w/ excuses & attempt to refute our claims, but we have texts, & email that defend our position. Since contracting, they're are other posts w/ same experiences. READ ON before making a decision w/ this builder: 1. We looked forward to working w/ SCH following their "Pathway to Your Dream Home" orientation session. SCH promised to quote use great attention to quality, value, & customer satisfaction. However, within 3mths of contracting, we saw red flags. SCH promoted a team of a designer, concierge, & project manager who would support every step of the way. A month in, our concierge left & we would cycle through 6 others within 10mths, all of whom SCH explained as having poor communication skills or poor follow-up w/ clients. We began to question SCH's ability to hire quality employees. THEN suddenly, the admin assistant & project manager were gone, and by the end, SCH was acting as concierge , designer, and project manager. 2. It took 9mths to get stamped plans, w/ SCH repeatedly saying it was the architect's fault & giving excuses for the delays. 3. We were given a checklist of items that had to be completed (select countertops, cabinets, garage/front doors, etc.). To our dismay, we experienced that SCH had no established vendors who would work with them. We spent many hours w/ vendors making window, door, and interior selections, only to realize that quotes would never be returned and SCH would have us trying multiple other vendors. Once again, SCH made excuses as to why we had to change or why the process was delayed. In our frustration, we sought out vendor ourselves, just to keep the process moving. 4. Most troubling, as the financial aspect were haunting. When we contracted, we were told we would have an accounting of expenses and assumed our deposit (in excess of $100k) would be used to pay for materials in our home. After 13mths in this agonizing relationship, the only thing we have to show for our time are completed plans that we cannot own & a permitting process that was 95% complete, which ironically seemed to move faster after we notified SCH that the lender was threatening to pull our loan due to no evidence of construction. 5. After seeing there was no ability to deliver in a reasonable and a timely manner, we requested to end our relationship amicably. Recognizing that SCH incurred cost, we wanted to be fair and only requested 1/2 our deposit, given there was NO construction or deliverables other than home plans, and no accounting of monies spent. We tried to negotiate terms that would lead both parties on the best path forward. Had SCH been willing to return 1/2 of our deposit, he could have redeemed himself by doing the right thing. And said, he kept our entire deposit and took an innocent intention of us wanting amicable separation and twisted it into something as ugly as accusing us of extortion after we said we would share our experience so this couldn't happen to others. Given that we gave SCH over $100K of our life savings and received NOTHING of value, we're shocked at how we could be accused of extortion. 6. SCH purports to be a CHRISTIAN company and SCH includes a bible verse in his signature line. Do not let this fool you. In working with him, we felt he was too emotional and simply not professional. As a previous posting mentioned, consider yourself warned. Review multiple sites including posting by prior employees. Research count..."

A small kitchen renovation requires an average of six to nine weeks from start to finish. This timeframe accounts for all phases, including demolition, installation, and finishing touches.
Projects with complex layouts or custom elements may extend beyond this timeframe, especially if you're handling portions yourself rather than hiring professionals. Material availability and contractor scheduling also influence your project duration.
The most efficient approach begins with thorough planning and securing necessary permits. Once preparations are complete, proceed with demolition, followed by rough-in work for plumbing and electrical systems. Next comes drywall installation and painting, then cabinets and countertops. Flooring installation follows, with backsplash and fixture placement completing the major components. This sequence minimizes the risk of damaging newly installed elements.
Replacing outdated appliances during your renovation often proves worthwhile, particularly for units over 10 years old. Newer models offer improved energy efficiency along with enhanced features and reliability.
Modern appliances also contribute significantly to your kitchen's overall aesthetic appeal and can become a selling point if you later decide to list your home. Consider models with energy-saving certifications that may qualify for utility rebates.
Several financing approaches exist for kitchen renovations. Options include personal savings, home equity loans or lines of credit, personal loans, or credit cards for smaller projects. The best choice depends on your financial situation, available equity, credit standing, and project timeline. Comparing interest rates and repayment terms across different financing methods helps identify the most cost-effective solution for your specific circumstances.
