Remodel Your Kitchen with Expertise and Quality You Can Trust

Your kitchen is more than just a place to cook; it’s the heart of your home—a space for family gatherings, celebrations, and creating memories. If your kitchen feels outdated, cramped, or no longer meets your needs, a kitchen remodel can breathe new life into your home. With our years of expertise in kitchen design and renovation, we ensure that every detail is crafted with precision and care.

WHAT A FULL RENOVATION CAN INCLUDE

What’s Included in a Full Kitchen Renovation

  • Layout improvements where appropriate
  • Cabinet replacement or custom cabinetry
  • Countertops and backsplash
  • Hardware and finish selections
  • Lighting and functional storage upgrades
  • Professional installation and project coordination
  • Investment guidance: Most full kitchen renovation projects range from $30,000 – $100,000, depending on scope and selections

IS A FULL RENOVATION RIGHT FOR YOU?

A full renovation may be the right fit if:

  • You would like to improve the overall layout
  • You plan to stay in your home long-term
  • You want updated cabinetry and finishes throughout
  • You prefer a single team managing the process

If your layout works well and cabinets are structurally sound, cabinet refacing may also be an option. We’ll help you determine the best approach during consultation

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

5 star reviews
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.

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.

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.

Cabinet redooring is a quick and cost-effective option to refresh your kitchen with less disruption.

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.
