"We were very happy with Paul and his crew on the design and final project. The only issue I have is that it is 2 years later and we are still waiting for things to be completed. Trim above a door that was never installed, shelf in a cabinet that was missing, soft closing cabinet door that needed to be fixed and a granite cutting board that was promised to us. These are minor things that do not take away from the beauty of the kitchen, it is just that when the job is finished and the final payment is made, forget about hearing from them again! (We have been trying to get in touch with them since December 2019!!)"

We work with integrity to make sure that the job is complete until the customer is satisfied. From siding repairs to full scale kitchen and bathroom remodels, we have the skills for all of your renovation needs.
"Certified Pro-Restorations saved my home after another contractor gutted it and disappeared. They stepped in on Christmas Eve, patched my floors in days, and immediately got to work rebuilding every room—kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, closets—everything. They touched every part of the house: electrical, plumbing, paint, flooring. They fixed both gutted closets, transformed the bedrooms to feel bigger and better, and even helped move my stuff back in. I was constantly updated with photos and input on every decision. They connected me with better deals on materials and made sure the work stayed high quality and affordable. The team was kind, professional, and truly cared. Thanks to them, my house is stunning—and worth nearly double what it was. They didn’t just fix a mess, they gave me my home back."

When your kitchen renovation includes major modifications, you’ll likely need to apply for one or more permits. The cost of building permits typically ranges from $450 to $2,400. Don’t forget to factor in the timescales for application and approval. Electrical and plumbing permits are sometimes issued immediately, while structural applications can take 4 to 6 weeks to process. Always consult with relevant local parties, as permit requirements vary by state and city; you may need separate plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and structural work permits. You rarely need a permit to complete the work for basic remodels involving refacing cabinets, re-flooring, or re-tiling.
A kitchen remodel typically takes anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. The timeline depends on your project’s complexity, your experience level, and the size of your kitchen. Larger projects that involve structural changes, wall removals, and floor plan reconfiguration will take significantly longer than smaller remodels like installing new cabinets or countertops. The timeline can also vary depending on the number of hours you can dedicate to the project per day. For example, if you can only dedicate nights and weekends to the work, this’ll extend the timescale.
Cabinets are typically the most expensive component of a kitchen remodel. Even semi-custom cabinetry can cost $20,000 or more, depending on the size of your kitchen. If you want to save money on your kitchen remodel costs, consider just refacing your kitchen cabinets by putting in new doors and drawer fronts, for example, or just repainting them instead of installing new ones.
Cabinets are basically the building blocks of your kitchen; they take up the most space in the kitchen and are typically the first thing people notice when they walk in. Increasing their aesthetic value, therefore, has the potential to add the most value to your kitchen. Other features that’ll also add great value to your kitchen are energy-efficient appliances and durable and stylish countertops.
Remodeling a kitchen is, in most cases, worth the time, money, and effort. For starters, a great new kitchen can improve the livability and functionality of your home. Additionally, research shows that a kitchen remodel can return up to 60% to 80% of the money put into it, depending on the size of the remodel and location of the home or neighborhood.
