High cost with low quality. A remodel at $417.00 a square foot should result in a relatively high quality product for a kitchen not having walls moved/changed. The cost figure is plus appliances (15,000) and plus designer fees. This contractor was unable to read and/or follow the plans or measure correctly, e.g. window location. This resulted in an upper cabinet being sized differently from the plans and a side filler strip was still required to fill the gap between the cabinet and a window casing. They did not follow range hood manufacture’s instructions on installation resulting in a marginally operating hood system. The counter backsplash does not meet tight against the wall sheet rock and is too high causing the bottom window casing having to be cut and narrowed to fit. The crown molding is not tight against the sheet rock above the sink window area. One newly installed window height is different from others necessitating a modified bottom casing. Several window sills installed with nails through the edge – unlike the many other windows in the house and kitchen. Upper cabinets had no hanger strips instead installed by screwing through the thin plywood backs. Many of the drawers have broken pieces of wood for shims to make them square and/or flush fitting. All of the cabinets were built with puttied nail heads showing on the outside – now a different color than the cherry cabinets. Painters did not prep window wood before staining resulting in blotches. The CATV outlet for a built in TV was installed too low ending up behind a drawer resulting in another jerry-rigged affair. Two pre-existing warm air vents now heat a new cabinet space resulting in not being able to use them for food or wine/liquor. A low cost development house shows better than this workmanship, which appears amateurish and similar to a poor DIY.
