Why Remodeling Should Be Left To The Professionals

There is a sea of endless information online regarding how to remodel one’s own kitchen in Utica. There is also a sea of evidence on the internet and in real life that proves that doing a remodel at home is a 50/50 wager.There is 50% chance that a person will get it right, and there is also 50% chance that a person will mess it up significantly.These odds are not necessarily terrible, but when the fact is considered that messing up on a home remodeling project can significantly reduce the value of one’s home, then the odds start to look pretty dangerous.Most people who attempt to do home remodeling projects have never been educated or trained in the field of carpentry. Cutting heavy materials, measuring precisely, and using the correct supplies and tools at the relevant times is not an easy thing that can be executed by the average person.

There are definitely people out there that are very capable of remodeling on their own, but these individuals are far and few between. Even if these individuals remodel a kitchen or bathroom themselves, they have to put in an incredible amount of labor.First, everything has to be selected, then the research has to be done on proper demolition depending on the materials that were in the previous bathroom or kitchen. After figuring out how to remove the old items, then the tools have to be bought in order to carry the demolition out.After all that, one can begin the physically arduous task of ripping things apart. Once everything is demolished, the kitchen or bathroom needs to be cleaned out of all the debris. Next, the DIY expert needs to research on new materials, how to install the new materials, and which tools to use.

Once these new tools are bought, the individual needs to exert a lot of physical energy into putting the whole thing together, and since they are not experienced in it, there are huge chances of making mistakes.If one has to undergo that much mental and physical strain, which also consumes double or triple the time it would take professionals to do it, why not just go to the professionals themselves? Just the selection process itself can be very long, difficult, and mentally straining, let alone trying to remodel entirely by oneself.It can be fun to start a remodeling project in Utica, but just remember that it will be very taxing on one's time and energy, not to mention that the end result probably won't look as perfect as one hoped for. Going to a professional remodeling company will actually save more time, energy and money in the long run.

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!
