A full kitchen remodel with CIS includes cabinet installation, countertop coordination, backsplash installation, flooring, fixture and hardware updates, and finish work. Scope varies by kitchen. The consultation defines exactly what your project includes.

If the layout works but the finishes are dated, a targeted update (cabinets, countertops, backsplash, hardware) often delivers most of the visual impact at a fraction of the cost. If the layout does not work for how you use the kitchen, a full remodel makes sense. Eric helps you figure out which one fits your goals during the consultation.

Look for contractors with verifiable credentials (BBB, NKBA, licensed trade partners), completed project photos, and honest reviews. Ask for a written estimate with line items before agreeing to anything. The way a contractor handles the estimate conversation tells you a lot about how they will handle the project.
