Kitchen Tune-Up Phoenix, AZ - Corvelli

Anthony and Pam were great to work with. We began the process in January, 2022, by talking with Anthony about what we had in mind. I thought we could just paint it. He took one look at the antiquated 1980's contractor-grade cabinetry, and suggested new cabinetry in two colors to brighten up the kitchen and provide more usable space. He showed us options, worked up several drawings, and we were finally convinced to go with new cabinets. It was a while before the necessary cabinets (all wood, excellent quality, beautiful) could be delivered and assembled, but we had expected delays; all transport schedules were out of kilter. Demolition went quick, and I was appalled to find the old cabinets were merely fiberboard with a vinyl veneer. We had already selected granite slabs at The Yard, had purchased a new sink and faucet, repainted areas that needed coverage. So installation moved along rapidly. Lucas, the senior installer (38 years experience in cabinetry), had upper and lower cabinets done within a week, even with decorative trim that we specified on the back side of the peninsula, plus the crown molding. He put in two lazy susans that made corners usable, deep drawers, pullouts, and other features we would never have dreamed of. The granite countertops went in the next week. We did have to wait a bit for a contractor to do tile work as the design had shifted the peninsula over (hint: never throw away leftover tiles; you may need them someday--so glad I kept tiles from the original lot). We found one problem, in that the upper cabinet door over the peninsula opened in our faces, and made that cabinet impossible to access. Lucas and Anthony came up with a creative solution that preserved the balanced design but made the cabinet accessible: a folding door! The finished kitchen looked so good that we had Anthony, Pam, and Lucas re-do our bathroom cabinetry using more cabinet bases and the remaining granite (separate contract). So here are some take-aways: 1. The first contract draft was too generalized. I like to be specific in a Scope of Work. So we worked with Pam to get a contract with we could all live with; this flexibility was appreciated. 2. In these times, schedules cannot be rigid; delays must be expected. It will never go as quickly as you might want, although I was very pleased at the two-week timeframe for installation. 3. Preparation will always make the project move smoothly. We bought our sinks, faucets, and other extraneous stuff in advance, and had floor tiles on hand from years ago. We kept our appliances. 4. Clean-up was done daily, and we were very pleased. 5. Excellent price compared to other remodeling firms that we talked to. We paid a very fair price for the expert ideas, design, installation of our new and much more usable kitchen (and bathrooms!). Worth every penny. Again, great people, great product, great process, and a great price! We recommend Kitchen Tune-up of Gilbert (Anthony, Pam, and Lucas) most highly.

KTU refurbished our kitchen cabinets as well as the bathrooms. They look so beautiful, almost like new. They were prompt, professional and a delight to work with. I highly recommend this business.

Our kitchen suffered a house fire, but the cabinet design was the same throughout the house, so we really couldn't replace damaged cabinets with a new style. Anthony assessed the design, and created some new cabinets, kept the undamaged ones, and repainted the entire kitchen along with some sophisticated glazing to make the entire project come together like a new kitchen. For a third of the cost.
