Things You Should Ask Your Tampa Kitchen Remodel Company  

A successful kitchen remodel greatly depends on finding a remodeling company that you can trust in your home and with your money. Countless people have fallen prey to untrustworthy companies that charge too much, extend the work timeline, perform a mediocre job, or simply run away with their deposit. That’s why it’s essential to ask the right questions when searching for a Tampa kitchen remodel company.

The following are a few questions you should ask when interviewing prospective Tampa kitchen remodel companies:

  • What are your credentials?
    • The company should provide a license, proof of insurance and state certification for you to consider hiring them. Insurance is important because it protects you from liability if a worker is injured at your home.  You can use the company’s license to look up their work history through the Secretary of State’s Office and Better Business Bureau. Call to verify if the company’s license and insurance are current. Affiliations with the National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA), the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI), and the Florida Home Builder’s Association (FHBA) are bonuses.
  • How long have you been in business?
    • Although every business was new at some point, having an experienced crew working on your home can mean the difference between a successful kitchen remodel and a disastrous one. A knowledgeable remodeling company knows the ins and outs of what goes into the job, and they have strong relationships with fellow trade professionals. Plus, they can provide you with examples of their past work so you can determine whether or not they fit with your design style.
  • Can I see examples of kitchen remodel projects you completed in the last year?
    • If these samples meet your expectations, ask for a list of referrals. Verify their work.

Other important questions to ask: what is your approach to a project like this; what percentage of your business is repeat or referral; and who will be assigned as project manager? Pay attention to how these questions are answered, and to the information that is conveniently left out. In the end, listen to your gut instinct. After all, the company you choose will have access to your home and personal life. It’s important to trust your kitchen remodel crew, and feel comfortable around them.

They designed a beautiful kitchen, stayed below budget, and kept within our move-in deadline. They were always on time and kept everything clean. The installers were meticulous. The finishing touches from caulk to hardware installation were all fine-tuned. I am a loyal customer for life. I will never use any other cabinet company."

"We absolutely love the built-in cabinets that AlliKriste did for us. From the design process to the install, the customer service was exceptional. It was evident they care about total customer satisfaction. I would highly recommend AlliKriste for any type of cabinetry!"

"I contracted with Allikriste to handle the custom cabinetry for a complete home remodel, including kitchen, four bathrooms, laundry room and wet bar. Tom Pitzen listened to my thoughts and designed beautiful and functional cabinets and helped pick out the ideal hardware to match my selected plumbing fixtures. On the all-important install, Joseph Siddons the installation manager and Vinnie the installer took the time make sure all cabinets, glass and hardware were installed perfectly. Too often, the trades now-a-days try to get in and out as fast as possible, with "that's good enough" being the mission for the day. I call them the 90% people. In my experience, that's not the people at Allikriste, everyone there wants the job to be a masterpiece. They are the 110% people. Without hesitation, I say that for the entire remodel production, Allikriste was the star of the show."
