What Does a Kitchen Remodel Include?

A kitchen remodel with Carolina Installation Services typically includes cabinet installation or refacing, countertop coordination, backsplash installation, flooring, fixture updates, and finish work. Projects range from targeted updates at $5,000 to $10,000 to full kitchen renovations at $15,000 to $35,000+. Every project starts with a consultation to scope the work, align on budget, and set a clear timeline before anything begins.

The first step is always a conversation. Eric visits the kitchen, listens to what you want to change, and asks the questions that help define the scope. He is not scoping the project to maximize the contract. He is scoping it to match your goals and your budget.

When Eric walks a kitchen, he looks at the cabinet condition, the layout logic, the countertop situation, and the flooring. He can tell within the first visit whether a full renovation makes sense or whether a targeted update delivers most of the result at a fraction of the cost. That honest assessment is what saves homeowners money.

CIS helps you decide where to invest and where to save before a single dollar is committed. The estimate you receive reflects exactly what the project requires, not a range designed to leave room for surprises. In the Triangle area, that kind of clarity is rarer than it should be.

30 Years in the Kitchen. Zero Shortcuts.

30+ years of hands-on kitchen remodeling experience.

Eric has worked on kitchens from demo through final finish. He understands how layout decisions affect function, how cabinet selection affects the rest of the room, and where the work sequence matters for the final result.

Kitchen and bath focus only.

CIS does not try to be a general contractor. The work stays inside kitchens and bathrooms. Deep focus produces better results.

Vendor partners chosen for quality.

CIS works with Kohler, Moen, Ferguson Home, KCD, and Mosaic Tile. These are brands that stand behind the contractors they work with.

Practical budget guidance, every project.

Eric will tell you where the money makes a difference and where it does not. He would rather save you money and earn a partner who refers him to their neighbors.
