Contractors in Pullman

“Top notch quality. Innovative design. Stands behind their work. Best builder on the Palouse“

“Having a 1937 era house, with multiple previous kitchen remodels, we knew that we wanted this kitchen remodel to create a timeless space. We worked with a designer, Kristin Stratton, and she created the desired layout of the kitchen and incorporated an arched opening that was reflective of the era of the house. The big challenge was having a fireplace chimney in the middle of the kitchen space that we hoped could be an island and have the arch. One thing that drew us to Renaissance Fine Woodworking is that they would be the contractor for all the construction and not only the kitchen cabinets. In addition, Andrew and his team had experience removing fireplaces and chimney’s - we knew they were the correct contractors for our remodel. After our initial discussion in April, they were able to start the remodel in mid-October. Andrew suggested using beech wood for our cabinets since we had beech wood floors on the main floor and provided prototypes of door styles to meet our needs. He provided input through the design process and the consultation with the engineer about load bearing walls and the ceiling supports. Andrew provided a realistic timeframe for completing the remodel, even with having a few change orders (e.g. new back door), the completed space was done in under 4 months.

Having a cabinet maker who is also a contractor means that the details of an arched opening would look like it was original to the house. For example, Andrew went above and beyond on making sure the new sheet rock transitioned into existing plaster. And when the countertops were being measured, he could discuss how the supports would be attached on the island to ensure a timely installation of the countertops. He added unique storage for cookie sheets, modified a drawer under the induction cooktop (that was going to be blank) to turn it into storage for hot pads/mitts, and created a drawer for paper towels (my favorite!). The end result is better than I could have imagined.“
