Remodeling Your Expectations

For owners Susan and Charlie Johnson, Kitchen Tune-Up is the culmination of a lifelong hobby and interest. “We knew we wanted to own our own business,” Susan say. “Kitchen Tune-Up was a perfect fit for us, and it filled a hole in the community.” The remodeling franchise is a leader in the industry thanks to its commitment to customer service and its range of offerings, including wood reconditioning, cabinet re-facing and custom cabinetry. “We have more and more clients wishing to remake their kitchens, floors and bathrooms without tearing everything out,” Susan says. “And we can offer them the widest range of selections and unbeatable service.”

Susan and Charlie and their staff, including two wood restoration specialists, two professional installers, a sales consultant and a corporate support team, begin each project by defining the client's goals and expectations. “We meet with new clients either in their homes or in our showroom and learn about their lifestyle, how they use the space and its current condition, as well as what style and overall function they are wishing to gain,” Susan says. “With that information, we consider their budget and refine our suggestions.”

Kitchen Tune-Up focuses on four core services, including wood cabinetry reconditioning, no-sand hardwood floor reconditioning, cabinet re-facing and re-dooring and custom cabinetry. Each option is geared toward a certain client and project. Well-built, stained cabinets with years of wear and tear benefit from the wood reconditioning, while re-facing and re-dooring is an excellent option for cabinets in need of a facelift. “We can also incorporate roll-out trays, concealed wastebaskets, organizational dividers and more to existing cabinets and drawers,” Susan says. For wood floors that have lost their luster and have gently worn areas, Kitchen Tune-Up's no-sand reconditioning option is ideal to bring life back to your floors without the mess, and custom cabinetry allows for complete design control.  “Our custom cabinetry have varying price points, and we tailor them to fit the total function of the kitchen,” she says. “With our huge inventory of materials, from zebrawood and bamboo to rigid thermofoil, the possibilities are truly endless.”

Susan and Charlie see the market for refurbishing projects growing throughout the state. “Our services are perfect for customers who want to fix up their home to sell or those wanting to invest in their home,” Susan says. “We add function and value both in the long and short terms. Some of the best compliments we receive are when people can't believe the difference our craftsmen can make in just a few days. Many are surprised they can have such quality and dramatic results within their budget.”
