K2 is proud to have received Angie’s List Top Honors for 14 years running. We design & build custom bathrooms, custom kitchens and outdoor entertainment spaces. We are now well into our second decade in business and have always carefully crafted beautiful spaces - and relationships - with people just like you. Are you ready to do something amazing with your home? Our innovative approach to design, material sourcing, and on-site construction helps you save money, gets projects finished quickly and leaves a mountain of value behind.
"We've had the pleasure of working with K2 twice now. They helped us with a kitchen remodel on our starter home years ago, designing an incredible kitchen in our tiny postage-stamp available space. When we moved again years later into a dated kitchen direly in need of upgrades, of course we called K2! Both times we worked with Teresa on a design and floorplan that made the best sense for how we utilized the space, and she brought practical ideas that worked with our budget and our wish-list. When the project came around, the contractors were all helpful and friendly. The project managers were always a quick call away if anything ever came up. Some project highlights include: - A giant picture window to bring as much light into a previously-dark kitchen as possible, - A half-wall to create a more open space, - Cabinet improvements to create more storage, - Lighting improvements (gross, outdated hospital-like fluorescents to sharp new LED fixtures), - Electric range to gas-range updates, with a hanging hood, - Flooring (hardwood refinishing and tile.) Kitchen models can be such a headache especially with a house full of kids and dogs, but working with K2 helped things go as smoothly as possible."

A general contractor oversees a project from start to completion. They create the project’s timeline and schedule, hire, manage, and pay subcontractors and workers, and purchase and deliver building materials and supplies. They’ll also acquire necessary permits and HOA approvals, plan and execute necessary project changes, and make sure work meets quality standards.
Hiring an independent general contractor costs between 10% and 20% of your overall project cost, with larger projects incurring fees up to 25%. This fee covers complete project oversight, scheduling, and subcontractor management. The fee ranges from a few hundred dollars to tens of thousands of dollars, reflecting the full scope of the planned work and ensuring seamless coordination throughout the construction process.
General contractors typically provide estimates at no charge, but some may charge a small fee, especially for more complex projects. It's important to secure a written estimate, as it establishes a transparent agreement on project scope, labor, materials, and any additional fees. This helps protect you against unforeseen expenses and ensures clarity before the work begins.
When hiring a general contractor, you must provide an upfront deposit that ranges from 10% to 20% of your overall project cost. This deposit secures material orders, labor scheduling, and initial project preparations. An upfront deposit exceeding 50% is a clear warning sign and should prompt thorough contract verification before proceeding.
