Examining the Impact of Local Business on the West Michigan Economy

Bathroom Remodeling Kitchen Remodeling Tips for homeowners Mar 31

Shopping at locally owned businesses is one of the most philanthropic acts you can do. At local businesses, a dollar spent there stays in the economy and circulates in the community you live in. With your support, small business are building stronger, stablier communities while creating more jobs. We are truly thankful to you for supporting us and other local businesses. We also want to let you know how you contributing, because it's quite impactful. You should feel good about where your money is going.An economic study of the Grand Rapids, MI area concluded that just a 10% increase in local spending to local business would produce:

1614 new Jobs
53.3 million in additional wages
137.3 million in additional economic output

In other words, "if every family spent just $10 a month with a locally owned independent business (instead of a national chain store) over 9.3 million would be directly returned to a local economy. That means better schools, more jobs, better roads, more support for police, fire and rescue departments and stronger economies" (Independent We Stand). Remember it's the small things that make a difference. As your family owned and locally operated business, we are proud members of our communities thanks to you!Source: Mans Lumber & Millwork 3/29/13, The Monthly man O Gram

Reviews

From start to finish Kurtis was a great company to work with. From the initial contact and design concept with Gregory Holster to the cabinet drop off team, the install team led by project manager Jeff Tuomi and the countertop company, the project was on time and all work was performed beyond expectations. This was greatly appreciated seeing as it was completed on December 23. All the people involved were professional and did an excellent job.

Shanna was our project consultant. Picking out cabinets along with counters can be somewhat overwhelming but her knowledge & experience helped us make the right decisions. Dylan & Juwan unloaded truck & Dylan check off ship ticket to make sure all boxes were accounted for. Courteous & pleasant to talk to…nice job of stacking everything neatly in our garage. We couldn't be more pleased with the service & so happy with our kitchen

We recently worked with Lauren on cabinetry for a master bathroom renovation. She was great to work on the design and selections. Lauren was efficient and responsive from cabinet selection through ordering. Our overall installation was smooth. We had some unforeseen circumstances impacting our ability to accept delivery of our cabinets on the initial agreed upon date. Kurtis was very accommodating in rescheduling delivery given our project challenges. We couldn't be happier with our cabinets for this project.

We had complete renovations to our kitchen and main bathroom. From start to finish, the design with Shanna was exactly what we asked for and Jeff stayed on top of the renovations, communicating each step of the way. Every worker was professional and the final product is elegant and functional. We were very happy with Kurtis and would choose Shanna and Jeff again.

We love our new kitchen! Kurtis Kitchen & Bath did an outstanding job, and Adrian at the Clarkston location was exceptional to work with—creative, patient, and really listened to what we wanted. The project was well-organized, and we went from demo to a fully functioning kitchen in just 30 days. Highly recommend!
