Kitchen TuneUp

Matt is the best communicating contractor I’ve met so far. This is one of the best parts of this kitchen remodel project. I’ve contacted at least 7 or 8 contractors before finding Kitchen Tune Up with Matt. Previously I could hardly even get a ballpark quote, never mind a detailed quote according to the scope of work. Matt was able to get that to me in a week that included everything we talked about. Another convenience is that its price includes cabinets. Almost all the previous contractors said they only quote me the job but I have to go find and buy my own cabinets. There could be more options if you go to a cabinet dealer, but I was able to find the cabinets that I’m happy with from the Kitchen Tune Up selection. The quote and final price was all very reasonable. Matt and his team are very courteous, professional, and effective. The team has a great chemistry, which is always important for getting a project done well. They set up dividers and floor covering to keep everything as clean as possible, and also clean up after every workday; and they are not noisy since my husband and I work from home. They are very helpful to answer questions, and flexible to work around issues and requests. Schedule wise it was very efficient. Groups of workers showed up and finished on all the dates previously scheduled, no endless delays. Matt subcontracted the floor repair for me, which is included in the quote. It was a bit tricky to work on my tiles but in the end the tile floor came out nicely. Matt also contracted electricians (Wetmore Electric, separate review on them), which is quoted and paid separately. But two teams worked well together. I did find my own guy to come in during an in-between week to do a separate wall/ceiling repair and painting job (Atmosphere Painting and Plastering, separate review on them). Matt as able to schedule his team around my schedule, too, which I really appreciate. The final piece was I had a matching countertop that is to be moved and cut and reinstalled on a new base cabinet. This piece took a long time. Because the job was small, the countertop company didn’t want to spend the time to come to pick up the granite. So Matt’s team did the extra work to bring the countertop to them, have it cut, then bring it back to install it themselves. Even though this is not their usual job, the work came out beautifully, including covering a weird corner that has a funky whole. Again, Matt’s team is amazing, I would recommend them to anyone who wants to do a kitchen job of any size.
