I contacted KitchenTuneUp/BathTune-Up to get an estimate to remodel my master bathroom and kitchen. Tom Taube came to my home and listened to what I disliked about the current spaces. We discussed ways to make a bigger shower and gain more storage space in the bathroom. In the kitchen, I had dark cabinets I wanted to update but stay affordable. I also wanted to keep my granite countertops. I disliked my "closet" pantry. I received very comprehensive proposals listing out not just what labor was to be performed but also budgeted items for materials so that I would have a full understanding of how much the remodels would actually cost me. I started these remodels right before the pandemic started in March of 2020. And even though there were a few delays caused by the virus, my projects went very smoothly. I was provided an online schedule of activities so that I would know who was coming and what they were doing (when my dumpster would arrive, drywalling, plumbing work, painting, tiling work, etc.). I liked that there was a final walkthrough before final payment was made so that I could address any issues I saw after the work had been completed. I love my new bathroom and kitchen now (after 20 years of hating them). I find that the bathroom is part of my sanctuary to relax and renew myself. My kitchen is now updated and beautiful with exceptional storage. I no longer have to store appliances and dishes in my bedroom closets. Bathroom: $37,000 (new shower, freestanding tub with tub filler, new vanity with new countertop, fixtures and sinks, new toilet, new cabinet over toilet); Kitchen $30,000 (cabinet redoor with box painting and new cabinets along with a custom island to house a drawer microwave). I was so impressed with the company, its employees and craftmanship, after being offered a position with them in 2021 as a sales rep for bathrooms, I am a happy employee now creating happy customers.

I was in need of a master bathroom overhaul. They gave me an estimate that broke down all of the work that would be required so I knew what where my money was going. Susan, the designer, helped to plan out the space. She worked with me in designing the vanities, picking tile, fixtures, and flooring. She worked with me one on one and was only a call/text away if I needed anything. They were able to work around my summer schedule(I am teacher and needed work done over the summer). All of the workers that came into my house were professional and let me know what work was being done and if anything needed to be changed. I am so thrilled with how my bathroom turned out. It is a wonderful space that I love walking into every day. I would highly recommend Bath Tune up for your bathroom needs.

Great. A few minor scheduling communication issues initially due to new scheduling software but very responsive to phone inquiries.

-Quality and integrity is what you will get when you work with Tom Taube and Kitchen Tune-Up. On top of that everyone is so nice. We had our Master Bath completely redone. It is beautiful-like a Spa!. We postponed our project by a month due to COVID. They had no problem with that. We were very comfortable with them in our home. We will be using them again in the future for some major projects.

I couldn't be happier with my kitchen face lift. There was no mess and the work was completed quickly. Any issues, which were limited to minor adjustments, were taken care of quickly. I highly recommend Kitchen TuneUp! If you don't need to change the layout or make some modifications this is the way to go!

We have a large kitchen which allowed us to add cabinets and build an island. Our project included electrical work, plumbing work, dry wall work and tile work. Kitchen Tune-up coordinated the work and we are very pleased with the final outcome. Our house is about 43 years old and the kitchen had an uneven floor. The cabinet installation crew had to deal with the existing floor and did a great job in compensating for this problem. We will recommend Kitchen Tune-up to our friends and neighbors.
Response from Kitchen Tune-Up
"Thanks [Member Name Removed] for your kind comments. Our crew really enjoyed being in your home. This is the second [Member Name Removed] home we have done. Except in this case it was like son, like father....LOL. Your kitchen looks great and your added touch of rustic backboard on the back of your island added your own personal feel....nice going. Thanks for sharing your video of the family making Christmas baked goods on it this season...really great to see them using that nice big island. I hope you enjoy it for years to come! Tom"

Very well. Worked with us during the pandemic,
Response from Kitchen Tune-Up
"While in our client's homes, we ask they they be in other rooms while we are on site, keeping lots of distance. We do check our installers temps everyday and sanitize common surfaces as needed. We been very fortunate this year to have no cases of Covid with our crews and those customers that have contracted Covid have let us know and we have rescheduled after a proper wait period. This year has been challenging for everyone but our customer, like [Member Name Removed], have been great. EVERY customer of ours has been understanding of the struggles we've had no only with the installation side of the business but with our supply chain also. I must say in these times, a little bit of understanding goes a long, long way. I know everyone is a bit crabby because of Covid, but our customers have not shown that to be the case at all. THANK YOU [Member Name Removed]"

The KTU team is wonderful to work with. From the initial meeting, to incorporating our numerous great ideas, to quality of the tradesfolk, to the gorgeous completed project, we could not be more pleased. Highly recommend Tom and Debi Taub.
Response from Kitchen Tune-Up
"This was one of those project that was a bit of this and a bit of that. A mix of new cabinets, painting cabinets, countertops and fixing some odd ball legacy stuff in the kitchen. You often wonder how something like this will come out. But we worked together and came up with a vision and OMG did it ever work. This kitchen is fantastic! The pics don't even do it justice. The custom color that [Member Name Removed] selected really pops and the new cabinets really transformed the island making it much more useful. The glass window like holes in the backsplash which looked a bit odd before look really cool now. This is one of the most transformative kitchen projects we've done in a while. Really fun project. Thanks [Member Name Removed] for your comments and thanks for letting us do it! Tom"

They designed and installed a gourmet professional kitchen of our dreams. Easy to select colors, style and design. Very accommodating when we made changes during the remodel. Extremely happy with the end result.
Response from Kitchen Tune-Up
"Thanks [Member Name Removed] for your kind comments. We had a few challenges mid way but you were great to work with and flexible on the design changes that had to happen. Your idea of embedding the double ovens in the walls really upped the design flair of the project and the kitchen really looks like a chef designed project. Makes me hungry just to walk into it. I hope you enjoy it for years to come. Tom"

After trying to coordinated multiple contractors coming into my house I got very frustrated and called Tom at Kitchen Tune Up. He had remodeled a kitchen for me about 15 years ago and I knew his company could get the work done quickly and easily. They were able to fix what needed to fix while cleaning and making my cabinets look like brand new. When there was a problem with an appliance installation Tom knew exactly who to call to get the problem solved.
Response from Kitchen Tune-Up
"Thank you [Member Name Removed] for your kind comments. I know it sounds hokey but there is nothing more satisfying than being able to help a customer that has a problem. Just hand it over to us and go about your life...that's what we are all about and I'm so glad we were able to take care of you. Tom"

Everything went great! Tom was quick to come out and quote the job. He sent the quote promptly, revised it at my request when I changed my mind about some details. The carpenters and the painter arrived at the expected times, did excellent work, and left my home spotless upon completion of the work. In short, I couldn’t be any happier with the job and I would hire Kitchen Tune Up again without hesitation.

Wonderful! 2 men came out and looked at my situation. They explained how they would replace the inside of the cabinet. They would also make the space water resistant. The cost to do the cabinet was only $400. Fair price. We decided to also upgrade the countertops, the sink and faucet. Rev Johnson sent me pics of the granite countertops within my price range. He set the appointment for me to choose my granite. I was in and out within 15 minutes. Rev communicated with me and my husband and made this entire process a pleasure. I would highly recommend this company and Rev Johnson.

Tom Taube and his crew of highly skilled workmen at Kitchen Tune-Up in Charlotte, created a fantastic new master bathroom in our home. They worked with us to keep the project within a budget we could handle and never talked down to us or made us feel like we should spend more. Tom and the crew listened to our questions, made adjustments as we went along and produced a spa-like bathroom that yields oohs and awws from all who see it. Would highly recommend this team!

This was a long process because the sink I ordered was cracked when we received it -- three times. This was not at all the fault of Kitchen Tune up. But -- meant they had to rearrange scheduling. We now have a lovely new kitchen. Tom Taube is a great problem solver -- even when the matter has nothing to do with the project! Plus, he helped us overcome questions problems with the materials we chose. Debi Taube is a marvel at scheduling and really minimizes down time. Her scheduling was put to the test with our sink reorders. These are good people and good to work with. Always return calls!!

Let me me start with the good. Their sales guy, Bob, was very nice, accommodating and seemed to know his stuff. We did have a little false start with our first meeting as he wound up running behind and we had to reschedule. Additionally, the majority of the job looked pretty good... A few things here and there that I am just picky about since I was paying over $11,000 for the work. Also, their guys that came and did all the sanding, priming and painting were very nice and worked their butts off. Now the bad news... This job took a YEAR to fully complete... wait, it actually still wasn't done correctly in the end. There were many mis-measured and re-orders on drawer fronts, doors, etc. They had one ongoing problem with the "Lazy Susan" and after mis-measuring, mis-ordering to the tune of 3 or 4 times, they got them pretty close, but there was no "bullet catch" on the bottom to keep it from freely swinging. (there was one originally.) We had to have them address various nicks in the paint after the laminate was put down, a door wound up warping, etc. All these issues are not insurmountable, but the time between addressing everything was insane! So after the owner had come out to put the bullet catch on the Lazy Susan, the doors were put back uneven. At this point, I still owed them $1,129. I waited for someone to call me to get their final sign off, etc. Never got that, but I sure got a bill for $1129! I waited for a phone call. The owner had his sales guy call me about the bill and I told him the situation. Owner called and left me a voice mail saying that he didn't understand, the doors went right back where they were, but in fact they were not. I never received another follow up, but did receive a bill. When the sales guy (notice that the owner is too timid to call) called me again, I told him that I couldn't believe that the owner was still pursuing this money when he never finished the job. We no longer owned the house at this point since it was now OVER a year since they started. I told them that if he was going to insist on that payment, then I would certainly share this experience, and do so truthfully. The response was to discount me $400 and ask me to sign an NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement) saying that neither I nor my family would say anything to anyone about the work performed. Seriously? OH! And this NDA was delivered in a VERY short amount of time, telling me that they have this on hand and have had it on hand due to previous issues very similar. I wonder how that affects their ratings. I told them that $400 wasn't worth me keeping my mouth shut and signing an NDA is a serious thing to consider as I may inadvertently over drinks or coffee mention my displeasure and could then be sued. I travel a lot and the invoice slipped my mind, but once again got a call from the sales guy about it. I have paid it in full and now I share my story.

The guys who did the work paid attention to detail and did not rush their work. Quality of their work was excellent. Kitchen is beautiful. Only problem was an incorrect order of the materials for the island which caused a delay in completion. But these were good people to do business with.

This is an UP DATE relative to my initial review on 3/11/2017, for Kitchen Tune-up: I received a call from Tom Taube where we discussed the reason for my initial C review. Tom stated that they had dropped the ball and that he wanted to make it right. He came back out and made several suggestions to compensate us for the problems we encountered. He was very sincere and offered to install, at no extra cost, additional cabinet features and to refund the added cost that I had disputed. As I said he was very sincere and concerned and his offer of compensation was more than I had expected. We accepted and set up a date for the installation. On the appointed date and time Tom came back out and completed his promise. Throughout this whole issue Tom was very professional. His attitude confirmed that his company provided true customer service and cared about their customers, on a personal level. Because of his professionalism and concern for his customers satisfaction, I would not hesitate to recommend him - and Kitchen Tune-Up - to any potential customers. He proved to us that their are still "stand up" companies that are willing to go the extra mile. I would give them a AA+ if there were a category for it. Thank you Tom and Kitchen Tune-Up.

"Thanks so much for your kind comments. This is a case where being an Angie's List member provided the conduit for our client to express some dissatisfaction which is great because we then knew it existed and were able to correct it. There is nothing more satisfying in our business than a happy customer. Again, thanks for your kind comments."
