When my husband and I first decided that our kitchen needed an overhaul, we faced the prospect with fear and trembling. New to home renovation, we had only one other experience with a major project...which was a nightmare. "Never again," we cried after that ordeal was over.
Fast forward to winter 2010. I could no longer stand our white painted cabinets and formica countertops, original to our 1978 home. So, we began the nerve-wracking process of researching remodeling companies and collecting bids. We considered everything from the big box home improvement stores, to general contractors, and even to doing the project ourselves. After a thorough bid process and obsessive research online and through the Better Business Bureau, we decided to go with Kitchen and Bath Wizards. It turned out to be the best decision we could have made!
Our relationship with Kitchen and Bath Wizards began when owner Mark Merrett visited our home to take measurements for a bid. He was prompt, friendly, and thorough. The bid was emailed to us shortly and was quite competitive. We put the project on the back burner through the holidays and then got serious again in mid January. By that time, we knew we wanted to work with Kitchen and Bath Wizards, but the bid was still a little over our modest budget.
So, we talked to Mark about our options. He was incredibly responsive and helpful, coming up with creative solutions to save money and make the best use of our limited dollars. We signed the contract and, the same day, went to a recommended granite yard to pick out a slab (Triton Granite). We also picked the wood and finish for our cabinet re-facing in Mark's Oak Forest office.
Mark was upfront in giving us a realistic timeline of when the materials would arrive and when we could expect workmen to come to our home to take further measurements. Not only was his timeline accurate, at times the materials or workmen even arrived prior to when he said they would!
Finally, all the materials arrived and it was time to start the project. Mark told us the project would take roughly two weeks, and he explained what we could expect day to day and which workers would be coming to our home. Every single worker he sent out was reliable, friendly, professional, and took pride in their work. (Thank you - Oliver, Shannon, Sergio and Gary!) I would come home from the office at lunch each day to check on the project, and more than once saw them redoing some part of the re-facing if they did not think it was perfect. They also patiently answered any questions I had. Last but not least, they cleaned up each day when they left.
The work was finished in a week and two days, well before the 2-week schedule they had given me. The final result is a kitchen that looks like it cost a fortune...at a great price! Kitchen and Bath Wizards exceeded all our expectations, and we plan to hire them again for future remodeling projects. The thought of more home renovations no longer scares us, but is actually a pleasant prospect! read more
