Our 25 year old kitchen was in bad need of an update. We received 3 quotes and ultimately selected Garry Calvin Contracting. While other contractors suggested refinishing our cabinets, Garry suggested a total gut of our kitchen with new cupboards, refinished floor, appliances and a larger opening into a sunroom. We also added an island that we didn't have prior to the remodel. His price estimates were spot on and we love our new kitchen. The total remodel was actually less than some of the bids to refinish the cupboards and leave the layout as-is. Garry provided computer drawings which were really helpful.
Garry hires excellent contractors and ensures that they do quality work. Once the work started there was someone in our house working everyday. He did a great job of coordinating the demolition, cupboard installation, floor refinishing, plumbing, and finishing (painting, tiling, appliance installation, etc.) so that there was something moving forward all of the time. We were out of our kitchen for only 4 weeks which we thought was great. The last of the punch list was completed about 2 1/2 months after the start of the project. We are new to remodeling and Garry was very helpful in assisting us pick out tile, cabinets, countertop, etc.
While it wasn't a huge problem, communication was sometimes frustrating. We needed to meet about various aspects of the project and we'd give Garry time and dates and wouldn't hear from him so we'd have to follow up again. Once we determined that sending text messages was likely the best way to communicate, it got a little better. Garry is so good at what he does and juggles multiple projects and priorities, so I'm sure it's a challenge to keep up with all of the communication.
We would definitely recommend Garry for a kitchen remodel. He's creative in his designing, excellent in ensuring that the project is moving along, and insistent upon quality work.

Jose refinished our living room floor and basement stairs. The floors look great. The stairs look like new. Will definitely use Zavalas Hardwood Floors in the future. I recommend Jose for whomever needs hardwood flooring work.

FAQs for furniture refinishing projects in Shawnee, KS
The cost to refinish wood furniture ranges widely, depending on the size and type of furniture. Here’s what you can expect to pay to refinish the following wood furniture items:
Yes, you can refinish a table top only. This refinishing task is a common practice to revitalize a table without having to invest the time and expense of refinishing the entire piece, especially the bottom of the table. If the bottom half of the table is fine as-is, you can still refinish the top of the table to your liking.
Furniture restoration involves cleaning and minor cosmetic repairs to restore a piece of furniture to its original condition or as close to it as possible. In some cases, restoration may involve refinishing, but the end goal is still to make the furniture look like it did when it was brand-new. Refinishing furniture involves stripping and sanding away the existing finish and then applying a new finish like polyurethane, which may make the item look quite different from the original condition.
The cost to refinish a table is about $250, depending on the size, type of finish, and amount of detail involved in the table and the new finish. The lowest price to refinish a table is about $80, and the highest is about $700. Additional tasks like dipping, stripping, staining, and painting will add to the total project cost.
Here are average costs to refinish a table by type:
Side or end table: $80–$150
Coffee table: $150–$250
Dining room table: $400–$700
The cost to refinish a dresser ranges from $300 to $2,000 on average, depending on the dresser’s size, material, and detail. If you need to repair the dresser before refinishing it, you can expect that service to cost extra. While it’s possible to restore and refinish antique furniture yourself, we recommend hiring a professional furniture refinisher to maintain the integrity of vintage and heirloom pieces. That way, you have the peace of mind of knowing that your dresser will receive professional-grade restoration.
