What we fix most in our customers kitchens
-

- Storage that works: pantries, pull-outs, tray dividers, trash/recycle, deeper drawers.
- Cabinets & countertops: durable lines and smart configurations; quartz and granite that fit your budget and style.
- Lighting & power: layered lighting (recessed, under-cabinet, pendants), new circuits, code-compliant outlets.
- Plumbing & ventilation: move sinks/ranges when it makes sense, upgrade hoods for real capture.
- Flooring choices: hardwood, LVP, tile—selected for durability and maintenance in busy Triangle homes.
