Before we decided to go with Summit Kitchen & Bath, we interviewed other kitchen/bath contractors in Summit County and in the Denver metro area. Having experienced past issues with contractors, this time, we needed to be especially careful.
Ultimately, we were most impressed with Summit Kitchen and Bath's enthusiasm and resume of work in Shock Hill and other Summit County neighborhoods. Greg has worked on high end kitchens/baths for decades and we knew Brenda before we bought this house. After spending time with Greg and Brenda, we could tell they loved their work and were good at it.
Our Eagle's Nest home has an odd kitchen which felt disproportionately small for this almost 4000 sqft home. We believed it was inevitable that we would need to tear out walls to make the kitchen feel proportional to the house. Greg and Brenda were actually excited about the challenges that came with this kitchen remodel. They came up with exceptionally creative design features incorporating elements we never considered. Only someone with Greg's experience could have come up with ideas to make our kitchen finally feel proportional to the house using the same space -- no walls needed to be torn out and he found additional space for cabinets we never considered.
Summit's selections of granite, cabinets, hardware, etc. were virtually unlimited. Greg has access to virtually anything. Summit also has connections with many other businesses in Summit County. With Greg and Brenda's referral, we got a great deal on outstanding appliances.
After they were done, the kitchen flowed perfectly with the remainder of the house and, based upon the opinion of a real estate broker, enhanced the value of the house more than 4 times the total cost of the renovation.
Greg and Brenda were exceptional in coordinating their workers, the various aspects of a renovation, and in sticking to their promised schedule. During the tear out, an unexpected and time-consuming plumbing issue surfaced which could not have been anticipated (bad design not to code when the house was first built); yet, Greg and Brenda were still able to maintain the schedule they promised. They anticipated the unexpected in their scheduling!
We were away during much of the renovation. Before we thought to ask for an update, Brenda contacted us with an update. She kept us well informed at every stage of the process. Summit's workers were meticulous in keeping the rest of the home shielded from the construction project.
Summit's price for the entire tear out and rebuild was very competitive with even Denver contractors who have much more competition. This has been the best contracting experience we have ever encountered. These folks know what they are doing, love what they do, and do it well!! read more
