Valerie's advice for homeowners:
“You need to have a Wish List. What you must absolutely have, such as an island, giant cooktop, Sub Zero refrigerator, etc. I need to know what you cannot live without. This is our starting point in making plans for your new kitchen.
We have a range of cabinetry and countertop products that will fit in your budget. You'll be surprised what we can do even on a small budget. You can achieve the look and function you want for half the price of the more expensive brands.
I love it when a contractor sends in a client with a small budget. The fun is in helping the homeowner get the most out of it.
I've always lived here, and I know that true New Englanders want to be close to home, and comfortable in their space. I'll help you to achieve that for your home.”
