"Jack and his team did an excellent job remodeling a non functional bathroom in our home. They replaced old plumbing lines running from the basement to the second floor bathroom, removed an old block glass window which required framing for a new window on the exterior wall. They took care of all the tile work and fixture installation. Great job overall."

"Miro redid our kitchen and half bath and we're thrilled with the results. We got a few quotes and ultimately went with Homewise Remodelers because the price was reasonable and Miro was so thorough in walking us through our options. He helped us select cabinets and worked through several versions of the kitchen layout until we were happy with it--we were easily able to swap out cabinet layouts and finishings, like adding a farmhouse sink. His crew were reliable, on-time, and respectful of our property throughout the remodel and we appreciated their attention to detail. They solicited our input on decorative details and were quick to fix things we didn't like, e.g., the location of kitchen cabinet pulls. We felt they treated our home as they would their own. The project even wrapped up a few days early. We would absolutely recommend Homewise Remodelers and choose them for future projects."

"It was terrible overall. Russell Walker from Panda Brand Construction, LLC contacted me 2am on March 5, 2025. I asked him to call me during business hours. I met with Russell on March 7, 2025 to go over what needed to be done in my home. I hired him on March 16, 2025 to scheme coat and paint living room going up stairs, repair and paint my ceiling, install kitchen cabinets, install kitchen flooring going into bathroom off kitchen area and drywalling and completing my utility room as well as epoxy countertops. The total amount, $6,700 labor and I provided all materials. On March 16, 2025 I gave Mr. Walker a cash deposit of $2,000 and received a receipt with his signature on it. He started the work on March 17, 2025 and asked for the remaining deposit of $1, 375.00 to complete half of the down payment of $6,700. I gave it to him. He was never on time to work. He would show up every day at 11am or later and leave at 3-3:30 pm. This went on from 3/17-3/31/2025. The second day at my home, Mr. Walker brought an ex-convict to my home and the two of them had a confortation and threatened to call the police on each other. After that, everyday he was bringing different individuals to my home and they were sabotaging to get more money to fix items that were not broken in the beginning. I continue to tell Mr. Walker that he needs to do better with all the work and people he was bringing. He agreed with me. Mr. Walker told me that the work in my home would only take one week to complete. I questioned that time frame and he assured me of that time. However, on week three he was still at my home and NOT one room or project was completed. He bounced all over my home not finishing anything. On March 31, 2025, Mr. Walker told a person that was helping him do work at my home to tell me he will not be returning to my home to finish anymore work. He later, showed up on 3/31/2025 to pick up his tools and told me that "since he feels that I get along better with the other person and not him. I should let the other person complete the projects". However, the other person was not qualified. He was a roofer. Because he was a roofer, he sent that person on my roof to sabotage, by pulling shingles off my roof to get more money from me to repair it. I have all the proof of pictures and text messages he sent about my roof weeks after he ran off with my deposit and abandoned the work. I also, took pictures of Mr. Walker's sloppy work (painting) that a child could have done better. He breached the contract and I would like my money back. I believe his bonded and license is a Phony and he is a Fraud."

"We hired Design First to redo our downstairs including a kitchen and bathroom. I would never recommend this company to anyone based on our experience with them. The company should be renamed Disappointment First. We used this company due to the recommendation of a friend but did not realize the ownership had changed. There are several other reviews that discuss how the company’s performance degraded with the new ownership. If you do use Design First, please learn from our mistakes in dealing with them and insist upon a firm completion date with a penalty per day for missing it. Several of their competitors offer this, and in our naivete we did not request a penalty for missing the completion date. We had a signed change order with a guaranteed 12/25/23 completion date, that they missed by several months. When we brought this up in discussions with them, they were dismissive and stated no penalty so nothing we can do."

Since knowing how to install countertops correctly requires in-depth knowledge and understanding of the topic, we recommend hiring a professional countertops installer near you to work on this project. Kitchen countertops are a high-visibility investment, meaning mistakes made during DIY installation will be easy to spot, may cause damage, and potentially require re-purchasing materials. Professional countertop installers have the skills, tools, and experience to place your new kitchen feature safely and correctly.
There are several countertop options available to fit your lifestyle and needs.
Granite countertops are durable and come in a variety of colors.
Soapstone countertops are prone to scratches and best in smaller kitchens.
Marble countertops are less durable than granite but a good option for busy kitchens.
Slate countertops are stain-resistant, making them easy to clean.
Limestone countertops must be sealed often to prevent scratches.
Acrylic countertops cost less than granite while still providing durability.
Laminate countertops are the most affordable but chip and fade faster.
Wood countertops need monthly sealing to maintain.
The cost to install countertops is $3,105 on average. This project cost can range from $400 to $8,500, depending on the material, edging, and countertop size.
Laminate countertops are generally the most cost-efficient, ranging from $8 to $27 per square foot. On the other hand, slate countertops are considered more luxurious and range from $30 to $90 per square foot. There are also countertop materials priced between those two, including stainless steel, granite, Corian, and wood.
The best way to save money on countertop installation is to choose an affordable material. For example, if you have a busy kitchen and need durability, choose a more affordable but lasting material like granite countertops. Likewise, if you don't use your countertops often, you can use a softer material that costs less than more sturdy ones.
Another way to cut costs is to remove and dispose of the existing countertops yourself, if possible. That way, countertop installers can get straight to placing the new feature, reducing labor costs.
It typically takes one to three days to install kitchen countertops. A few factors like size and material impact the time it takes to install a countertop. For example, if you have two slabs of countertop material, it won’t take as long to install as placing several custom pieces of countertop.
This timelines allows for removing existing countertops and any plumbing disconnect and reconnect that needs to happen. Plan on the higher end of the time frame if you've chosen custom countertops versus large slabs.
