We will update the finished photo once completed.   The cabinetry was ordered, and had a 3 week lead time.  Construction started on May 2nd, granite templated on May 9th and installed on May 17th.   Painting to be finished shortly.    Is your kitchen as challenging?  What improvements would you like to make?   Contact us today  - we can help you!
