Project Journey
1990s oak cabinets, laminate counters. Two quotes at $15K+ with 6-week timelines. Listing date in 3 weeks.
Locked quote same day. Cabinets + countertops coordinated by one company. PM provided regular progress updates.
Done in 12 days. Home sold in 9 days — buyer cited kitchen as the standout feature.
The Problem
Their home wasn't showing well. The kitchen — dated 1990s oak with laminate countertops — was the #1 reason buyers walked away. They had a listing date in 3 weeks and two quotes that wouldn't meet it: $15,000+ and a 6-week timeline from two separate companies.
Why They Chose Us
One company instead of two meant one timeline, one point of contact, and no coordination delays. We gave them a locked quote the same day and committed to a 12-day completion — half the time of the other bids.
