"We hired David to insulate, drywall and paint our 3 car garage. Highly recommended and best decision we made. David did an outstanding job. I wouldn?t hesitate to hire him again for any future work on our home. Other than his attention detail and professionalism, he is an all around nice guy. Showed up on time every day and did not hesitate to keep us informed or ask for our opinion when options arose. He went above and beyond to make our garage project successful. He noticed that our garage door tracks were a out of alignment and made adjustments to correct the poor tracking when they opened and closed. This wasn?t part of the job but he took care of it anyway. I had planned to install slat wall panels myself in multiple places around the garage after David was finished. However, I decided to ask David if he had time to do it instead of me. He adjusted his schedule to accommodate my request by adding the installation of the slat wall panels to the job. Our garage is now a place of beauty. We could not be happier in the way it turned out and our decision to hire A&L Home Remodeling."

"We hired Mastercraft Remodeling to renovate two of our bathrooms a few months ago, and were so pleased with the way everything came together. We wanted a very different design and our contractor was able to achieve beautiful results. The owner selected excellent tradesmen that took our design to the next level, from tile to plumbing. I highly recommend hiring Jake at Mastercraft to anyone looking for a reliable, honest contractor. Many thanks"

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.
