Get matched with top kitchen remodel pros in Monterey, CA

"This was the second project Jason Lindgren completed for me, the first being a bathroom remodel completed in early 2015. I knew then that any construction projects would have to be done by his company and so was very grateful to find him available for this project. Before beginning, they installed plastic curtains to contain the dust, then moved out the old appliances and tore out the tiles and cabinets. They also removed the built-in stove hood and fluorescent ceiling light. Right before they began, I decided to forgo the cabinets that hung down from the ceiling between the kitchen and living room, and instead asked Jason to install a peninsula range hood in the center, thus opening up the space between the rooms. He and Tom Merida, the expert craftsman who created the cabinets, agreed to the change and adjusted the bid accordingly. In order to make up for lost storage, they worked to extend the cabinets out where possible while still maintaining the visual space needed around the windows. In the living room, opposite the low wall created by the kitchen cabinets, we agreed to add a built-in cherry bookcase to provide the support needed for the quartz countertop above. They did so, adhering to code requirements to make what I wanted was feasible and safe. I had ordered new appliances, and to enable me to take delivery quickly and have them available for installation, Jason agreed to move them up from my downstairs garage as the workers completed the cabinets, and install them for no charge. Throughout the process, my new refrigerator stayed upstairs and accessible to me on the opposite side of the dining area, thus minimizing the interruptions to my life. The kitchen remodel was $8,750; the cabinets were $13,585, with everything clearly spelled out and divided into installments that I paid as each task was completed. Once they were underway, I requested the installation of two strip lights below the cabinets adjacent to the sink and two puck lights above the sink itself, which were added to the bid. When Jason began to install the garbage disposal below the new double steel sink, he found the sink depth made the exit pipe too high. He had to tear out a section of the drywall to locate the point where the drainpipe joined the vertical exit pipe. Luckily, the junction was close by and he was able to complete the connection after securing new pipe. We agreed that I would pay for the extra work, which when added to the additional lights, increased the bid by $604.98, for a grand total of $22,939.98 To center the exhaust hood over the range, Jason moved the exit hole, an addition he did not charge me for. He then repaired the holes and tears caused by removing the cabinets and florescent light, then applied mud and sanded so that it was ready to paint. He recommended and secured Victor to come in and paint the kitchen, who did a wonderful job for $400. As before, I liked all the people who worked with Jason, including James who fabricated the quartz that included a tricky sink opening that was curved along the back, and Dave who helped install the hood and took the time to explain the electrical requirements of the microwave I had temporarily moved into the living room that kept tripping my circuit breaker. My new kitchen looks warm and inviting with rich cherry cabinets and perfect lighting, and is a joy cook in and just sit and admire. I'm happy I chose Precision Built Construction and have already asked Jason to take on my next renovation project."

"My wife and I recently bought a home and had a long list of things we'd like to do. James at Ranch Hands was an amazing resource to talk through the list, help us prioritise, and to give us options. The work itself was done to an incredibly high standard (thank you James, Logan, and team) and it was obvious to me that so much care, attention, and respect was put into the work. I recommend Ranch Hands Construction without reservation and plan to work with them again in the future."

"We have purchased our new home in OLD TOWN Monterey. We had a few changes we wanted to make to improve the layout, appearances and the bay views. The work that we contracted for involved 1. opening up the kitchen wall to the dining room 2.refinishing 60 year old solid oak floors in living room and dining room and 3. adding crown molding and new baseboard molding to the living room and dining room. The work created the vision we had for this minor remodel and upgrade. The existing walls were the original plaster and they matched the texturing perfectly. A new header was installed in the new entry to the dining room and light switches were relocated. The refinishing of the oak floors provided us a grand look for the living room and dining room. The molding and baseboard are the topper for this work and they were done immaculately. The difference from the before to the after is amazing and we are glad we selected The Carmel Guild to partner with us. A BIG shout out to Jim and his crew for helping us make our new home truly ours!"
