They say the kitchen is the heart of the home. Sometimes, though, homeowners may want a change of heart. That’s when Kitchen Tune-Up can help. With over 35 years’ experience, Kitchen Tune-Up has made a name for themselves as the go-to contractor for kitchen renovations. Michael Murphy, who has lived in the 068 area for 20 years, came on board in 2019. His Kitchen Tune-Up currently operates in Redding/Ridgefield, as well as the CT shoreline in the Madison/Clinton area.
High costs and the inconvenience of being without a kitchen for an extended period of time are the two most common reasons people hesitate to launch a kitchen renovation. “The biggest concern I hear is that kitchen renovations are too expensive and take too long. Kitchen Tune-Up solves this by offering a range of options at every price point,” says Murphy. Some of the services they provide can be done in one day with most taking only a few weeks.
Kitchen Tune-Up offers five different renovation options ranging from the least expensive and minimally invasive all the way to a complete redo. Their 1-Day Tune Up uses a wood refinishing process that can restore your cabinets to their original luster. If you’re satisfied with the current layout, they offer cabinet painting, which can give your kitchen a fresh new look. Cabinet re-dooring is a great option to give out-of-style cabinet doors and drawer fronts a more modern feel. Their most popular option is cabinet refacing which replaces old cabinet doors and drawer fronts with new ones but keeps the cabinet boxes. Lastly, custom cabinets can be designed if you’re looking to change the layout of your kitchen. This is the mostly costly and time consuming because it involves completely gutting and then rebuilding the cabinets.
One thing that really sets Kitchen Tune-Up apart from other contractors is that they are family-owned and operated and they truly care about their customers. “I believe every customer is part of our family. Our goal is to make it as seamless and pleasant as possible,” says Murphy. He also mentions that the majority of his staff are full-time, which means consistency in service to the customer.
Some of the recent design trends showing up in kitchens include brightening up a dark space. The dark stain wood doors from twenty years ago can look completely different when replaced with clean white shaker-style doors. “One of my favorite trends is adding unique pullout drawers and shelves, which maximizes the storage capacity and often taps into previous empty spaces,” says Murphy.
Kitchen Tune Up will work with your budget and time-line and come up with the best design for you. For more information or for a free consult, contact 203-703-2594 or visit kitchentuneup.com •
