I cannot say enough great things about my newly renovated kitchen. Just HOLY MOLY. I could stare at…read moreit for hours!
A little backstory: My mom was first introduced to Luke when she had him renovate her kitchen. A few years later, when she moved, she had him redo her kitchen and bathroom countertops and install grab bars by her toilet. We've trusted Luke for years, and that trust has absolutely carried over to my own home.
I've been living in my apartment for quite a while, and my dishwasher had started making some strange noises (although it still cleaned just fine). Then, suddenly, my refrigerator door wouldn't stay shut. I even asked ChatGPT to help me troubleshoot it, but no luck. I was literally putting a weight in front of the fridge to keep it closed!
That's when I started talking to Luke about appliances. One thing led to another, and before I knew it, I was telling him how I didn't love my cabinets or countertops and asking, "Well, what if we did this instead?"
He was more than happy to entertain all my ideas while offering his own professional input. I genuinely appreciated the communication throughout the entire process and how willing he was to listen, collaborate, and help bring my vision to life.
The kitchen was completely gutted and transformed with new floors, appliances, cabinets, countertops, a sink, faucet, backsplash, and paint! He also added under-cabinet lighting and a really cool disposal button. The result? An absolutely gorgeous kitchen that feels completely new.
The original estimate was about three weeks, but I tend to double renovation timelines in my head anyway--and approximately six weeks turned out to be the more realistic expectation. The wait was worth it!
Luke also helped me upgrade my bathroom with a larger vanity and a new faucet, and I'm in love with that update, too.
One thing I really appreciate is that Luke has a team of people for all the different parts of the job and coordinates pretty much everything. It made managing such a big project much easier. My main responsibility was being home for appliance deliveries, including one memorable Home Depot delivery window of 6:45-8:00 AM. Why?! (Apparently, Best Buy is worth checking out--they may price match!)
All in all, I am SO happy with how everything turned out. Luke listened to my ideas, offered great input, communicated throughout the process, and helped turn my vision into reality.
If you're looking for someone you can trust with your home, I highly recommend Luma Build and Design. In Luke I trust!
