All Kitchens Amazing

Love my job at all #allkitchensamazing!! Arabian Nights granite from #daltile

A CONVERSATION ABOUT PERCEIVED VALUE: A customer asked a contractor friend of mine how much it would cost to do this project. My friend gave him a proposal: $4...500 The customer responded: That’s seems really high. My friend asked: What do you think is a reasonable price for this job? The customer answered: $2500 maximum My friend responded: Ok, then I invite you to do it yourself. The customer answered: I don't know how to. My friend responded: Alright, then how about for $2500 I'll teach you how to. So besides saving you $2000, you'll learn valuable skills that will benefit you in the future. The customer answered: Sounds good! Let’s do it! My friend responded: Great! To get started, you are going to need some tools. You will need a chop saw, table saw, cordless drill, bit set, router, skill saw, jig saw, tool belt, hammer, etc.. The customer answered: But I don't have any of those tools and I can't justify buying all of these for one job. My friend responded: Ok. Well then for an additional $300 I can rent my tools to you to use for this project. The customer answered: Okay. That’s fair. My friend responded: Great! We will start the project on Monday. The customer answered: I work Monday through Friday. I’m only available on the weekends. My friend responded: If you want to learn from me then you will need to work when I work. This project will take 3 days so you will need to take 3 days off work. The customer answered: That means I’m going to have to sacrifice my pay for 3 days or use my vacation time! My friend responded: That’s true. Remember, when you do a job yourself you need to account for unproductive factors. The customer answered: What do you mean by that? My friend responded: Doing a job completely from start to finish includes time spent to plan the project, pick up materials, travel time, gas, set up time, clean up, and waste disposal amongst other things. That’s all in addition to the actual project itself. And speaking of materials, that’s where we will start on Monday so I need you to meet me at the lumberyard at 6:00am. The customer answered: At 6am?!! My work day doesn’t usually start until 8am! My friend responded: Well then you’re in luck! My plan is to start on the deck build by 8am. But to do so we have to start at 6am to get materials picked up, loaded and delivered to your job site. The customer answered: You know, I’m realizing that a lot more goes in to a job than what a customer sees in the finished project. Your proposal of $4500 is very reasonable. I would like you to handle the project. CONCLUSION: When you pay for a job, especially a custom job, (whether it’s a physical project or digital project) you pay not only for the material and the work to be completed. You also pay for: Knowledge Experience Custom Skills Tools Time to plan Time to prepare Professionalism Work Ethic Excellence Discipline Commitment Integrity Taxes Licenses Sacrifices Liabilities Insurance If you request a proposal for custom work to be done, please don’t disrespect a service provider by trying to get them to lower their prices. If their proposal exceeds your budget, there’s nothing wrong with getting other proposals. Just remember.. you get what you pay for. SERVICE PROVIDERS: Know your worth and be confident in it. CONSUMERS: Recognize their worth and be respectful of it. Sharing this to support all my friends, family and clients who are Entrepreneurs, Business Owners and Tradesman.

Just received these photos of this bathroom this morning. It's fabulous. This was a very tight space and we made the made extra narrow for this customer and offset the faucets. Mountain Mist granite with a 4 splash also notice the shower and bath sills are in the same matching stone. L&L Properties out did themselves and this one. Now I can't wait to see kitchen.

Kitchen and stone install that is absolutely stunning over at Silver Lake County Club and Condos. Absolute best customers work with too too! This is an "All AMAZING Kitchen" transformation from top to bottom! Special mention to Andy Kreutter, Jacky Kreutter, & Nate Kreutter, Mike Bow, Camden Barber, Suzanne Lamoureux - Lacey and Joe Rivellino.

We are so thankful for all our customers!! We are busy building beautiful cabinetry & putting out some amazing stone. I need to get caught up and share some "All Amazing Kitchens" and bathrooms with you. For right now, I will share some inspiration for a simple bathroom makeover. This homeowner did some DIY work and painted out the original cabinets, added some ship-lap, new mirrors and lighting. We delivered and installed the beautiful Calcutta Laza Quartz and the two Solera Vessel Sinks. Fresh bright and up-to-date. What project can we make AMAZING for you? Call us today!!

Thank to all the man and woman who have served our great country and to those who give all. God Bless

When it's all about the Calcutta Laza Quartz to make your project AMAZING!!

Steel Grey granite with a Solera double bowl silver composite granite sink that compliments this beautiful classic white kitchen.

Such kind words and look how amazing this kitchen looks!

Nice little DIY job done by our customers Gary & Bea D. They added some granite around their newly installed fireplace. Very pretty!! As we are all spending a lot more time in our homes with our families these days, it's nice to have a cozy fire to take the chill off. What projects are you thinking about doing and how can we help?
