WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

I recently had Kitchen Tune-Up doing a re-modeling and the team did a beautiful job! Great attention to details, courteous, left the place clean and looking brand-new. The owner, Mike, is an enthusiastic man who loves his work and offers helpful suggestions. He kept in touch during the project and answered all my questions. I found their prices to be quite competitive. I would recommend Kitchen Tune-Up without reservations.

S.R.

Mike listened to my desire for a kitchen makeover. He explained my options in plain language. He displayed samples of various materials used in the makeover. I was impressed that he took the time and was honest about balancing my kitchen ideas and the cost of the project. He showed us some ideas that had not occurred to us. His communication during the process was excellent. We selected shaker cabinet doors and rolling cabinet drawers. We just love the drawers; they are outstanding. The installer, Brandon Riley, arrived at my home on time each day. Brondon explained the installation process and answered questions to our satisfaction. He took care to protect my hardwood floors. Brandon is a great craftsman. After completing work each day, he cleaned up after himself. After the work was finished, which took about 3 weeks, the kitchen makeover was amazing. Mike visited my home on the final day of work and cleaned appliances, mopped my hardwood floors, and cleaned counters (Who does that?). PS: The price was right on, and Mike was not a pushy salesperson.

L.M.

We ran across Kitchen Tune-Up Website, and were intrigued. We called Kitchen Tune-Up and set up a meeting at our house within days. Mike Lee arrived on time with a huge selection of materials. He showed us that we did not need to remove walls, order custom cabinets, no new electrical or plumbing, etc. Using our existing cabinets and kitchen footprint, we chose new colors, counters, sink, hood, cabinet inserts and pulls, Mike helped us redesign our kitchen. He listened and respected all our special needs and concerns. And all within our budget! The Project began ahead if schedule and was completed within a few weeks—not months! We LOVE our new kitchen! If you want a new kitchen too, Kitchen Tune-Up needs to be at the top of your list at the start of your search. Mike will add value to your home.

what we do

cabinet refacing

Refresh your outdated kitchen with cabinet refacing. Our Tunifers will replace your cabinet doors, drawer fronts, and hardware and add veneer on your existing cabinet boxes to match the new door style of your choice. Refacing is a cost-effective way to modernize your kitchen while keeping the cabinet boxes in place. Cabinet refacing adds value to your home in less time and with less mess than a full remodel. With our cabinet Refacing Plus, we can even modify cabinet openings to accommodate new or larger appliances.

cabinet redooring

Update the style of your kitchen or replace worn cabinet doors and drawer fronts with our cabinet redooring service. With this option, we color-match the new doors to your existing cabinet frames to ensure a seamless look. Installation takes one to two days and includes hinges, pulls, and knobs. Cabinet redooring is a quick and cost-effective option to refresh your kitchen with less disruption.

cabinet painting

Refresh and brighten your kitchen with cabinet painting. Our team will prep them for painting by removing the doors and drawers to clean and repair them, then prime and paint them in the color of your choice. The most common cabinets that homeowners request to be painted are oak. If your cabinet boxes are in good condition and you are happy with the current style of your cabinets and the layout of your kitchen, this might be a good option in your space.

wood restoration

Thinking of refinishing your cabinets? If you like the current color and door style of your wood cabinets, and they are structurally sound, then our no-sand wood reconditioning may be a great option for you.
