How this works, start to finish
A free introduction to one licensed contractor, with the paperwork explained first.
We are a referral service for kitchen remodels in Canyon Country. We work with one California licensed contractor. You tell us about the kitchen, we answer your questions about the contract, and then we introduce you. The call costs you nothing and you owe us nothing afterward.
- California-licensed contractor
- Free, no obligation
- Quoted in writing
What happens after you get in touch
We ask about the room. Which parts are staying, which are going, whether the sink or the range moves, and roughly when you want the work done. If you have questions about deposits, canceling or what a contract should say, this is where we answer them, in plain words.
Then we pass your name, number and a short note about the job to the licensed contractor we work with, and we tell you their business name and license number before anyone visits. They call you to set a time.
- The visit
- The contractor looks at the room, measures it and asks what you want. This is where the real price comes from, because nobody can price a kitchen they have not seen.
- The quote
- You get the price and the scope in writing. Read it against what a kitchen contract has to contain before you sign anything.
- The decision
- Yes, no or not yet are all fine answers, and saying no costs you nothing.
- The contract
- If you go ahead, the contract is between you and the contractor. They do the work and they are the ones you pay.
What we do not do
Knowing the limits of a service is as useful as knowing what it offers, so here they are.
- We do not build
- We are not a contractor and we do not do any of the work.
- We do not set the price
- The contractor prices the job after the visit. We never quote a number over the phone.
- We do not hold money
- You never pay us anything. Deposits and payments go to the contractor, under the limits in the deposit rules.
- We do not give legal advice
- We explain what the statutes say and point you to them. For a contract dispute, talk to a lawyer or the Contractors State License Board.
One contractor, and why that matters to you
Because we introduce you to one contractor, this is an introduction, not a bidding list. If you want to compare quotes, go ahead and get others. The guide to reading a kitchen quote shows how to line them up fairly.
Whoever you hire, run their number through the state lookup first. How to check a contractor's license walks through it in about a minute.
