"We chose Design One to remodel our small galley kitchen after meeting with them and seeing their reviews. Initially, they presented as organized and professional. I wish we had asked more questions upfront. The quality of work was poor, especially drywall and basic carpentry skills. The average time spent was 10 hours/week. When they started work, all needed materials were in, yet it took over 7 weeks to complete. Requests for a schedule were evaded. There is no crew it is Rich, and occasionally Linda to assist. Very poor time management at the customer expense. Their lack of transparency regarding certain paperwork was troubling. What should have been a rewarding project became a large disappointment."

"We were very happy with Paul and his crew on the design and final project. The only issue I have is that it is 2 years later and we are still waiting for things to be completed. Trim above a door that was never installed, shelf in a cabinet that was missing, soft closing cabinet door that needed to be fixed and a granite cutting board that was promised to us. These are minor things that do not take away from the beauty of the kitchen, it is just that when the job is finished and the final payment is made, forget about hearing from them again! (We have been trying to get in touch with them since December 2019!!)"

"Saw this guy driving on the highway with some serious road rage. Purposely swerving into another car and blocking them when they tried to pass. I wouldn't hire someone who loses their head that easily"

"The entire project was a fiasco. Larry went above and beyond to get the job but once he had the down payment it was downhill from there. He started the job 2 months later than he estimated. The installers didnâ t take steps to protect the floor and furniture so there was damage. A lot of saw dust fell into the microwave because they didnâ t cover it and it took weeks for me to get it all out. They reinstalled the microwave too high. Existing pull out shelves now get hung up, two shelves that were custom made also hang up because although they worked fine when empty, the weight of pots and pans makes it so I manually have to lift them over the edge of the cabinet. All of the door handles were installed crooked. Is the template broken? They scratched the dishwasher and slid it in crooked. The tile back splash looks great but every tile cut made for around the outlets is too big and jumbo outlet covers had to be purchased to hide the cut marks. The installer never returned to apply caulk. The installerâ s vehicle leaked a yellowish fluid staining my recently resealed driveway. The job was â finishedâ March 8 but Larry has not followed up with the installer to get the issues addressed. Even though Larry very condescendingly promised everything would be taken care of, he doesnâ t follow through. Two weeks has become 16 weeks. Beware, I specifically asked if his installers work for him. He did yes, they do. I should have been more specific. Larry hires independent contractors who work for many contractors. Larry has no control over when they can work. All he has are excuses for why they canâ t work. One of his favorites is, â heâ s sick, you donâ t want him in your house.â Another favorite line is, â Itâ ll be taken care of, o.k?"

"I hired this company to lay wood flooring throughout the house, to refinish the stairs and to replace all banisters and railings. I couldn't be more please with how this project came out. The people that worked here were professional and did a phenomenal. Hands down, some of the best people I've worked with. They showed up on time, the quality of the work was fantastic and they left my house cleaner than when they started. I was so pleased with everything and everyone related to this job that I called them back to renovate my kitchen. They are the only company I will use going forward. I was lucky to find them. "

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.
