Flooring Experts Who Also Do Kitchens — That Matters

Most kitchen remodeling contractors treat flooring as an afterthought. They subcontract it out, pick from a limited selection, and move on. We’re different because flooring is what we’ve built our entire business around for over 30 years. When we remodel your kitchen, the flooring component — whether that’s porcelain tile, luxury vinyl plank, natural stone, or hardwood — is handled by specialists, not generalists. The same goes for backsplash tile installation, where pattern alignment, grout selection, and precision cuts make a visible difference in the finished result. Countertops get updated in 91 percent of remodels and backsplashes in 86 percent — these are the details that define the room, and we treat them that way. Customers who’ve worked with us after visiting big-box stores consistently say the same thing: the knowledge isn’t even close. We don’t just sell you materials. We help you understand what works in your specific kitchen, with your specific layout, before anything gets ordered.

Kitchen Home Improvement Wake and Horry County

What a Good Kitchen Remodel Actually Gets You

Beyond the new look, a well-executed kitchen remodel changes how your home feels — and what it’s worth.
  • Minor kitchen remodels return an average of 96 to 113 percent of their cost at resale, making it one of the smartest investments you can make.
  • You stop working around a layout that was never designed for the way you actually cook, eat, and gather.
  • Fifty-four percent of realtors recommend a kitchen upgrade before listing — a refreshed kitchen helps homes sell faster and for more.
  • Your flooring, cabinets, and backsplash are installed to manufacturer specs, so every product warranty stays fully intact.
  • You get a kitchen that handles real life — kids, guests, daily cooking — without showing its age after a couple of years.
  • Every detail is handled by one team, so nothing falls through the cracks between contractors.

Custom Kitchen Cabinets and Backsplash Installation

Everything Your Kitchen Needs, Under One Roof

A complete kitchen remodel touches more than most people realize going in. Cabinets alone can account for up to 40 percent of the total project budget — so getting that decision right matters. We work with custom and semi-custom cabinet options to fit your kitchen’s dimensions and your storage needs, not just what happens to be in stock. Beyond cabinets, we handle kitchen flooring, backsplash tile installation, and the full coordination of materials so everything works together visually and structurally. You’re not managing three different vendors and hoping it all lines up. We bring samples to your home during the estimate, walk through the options in your actual space, and build an all-inclusive quote that covers everything from prep to final cleanup. No phase-two invoices. No surprises.

Common questions about Kitchen Remodeling

Kitchen remodel costs vary based on scope, materials, and the size of your space — but here’s a realistic range to plan around. Minor kitchen remodels typically run between $14,600 and $41,600, with a national median around $27,000. Mid-range renovations can reach $71,000 or more. Cabinets are usually the largest single expense, often accounting for up to 40 percent of the total budget, with labor making up another 20 to 35 percent. One of the most important things we do upfront is give you an all-inclusive estimate — materials, prep, installation, and cleanup — so you’re not hit with additional costs mid-project. About 40 percent of remodeling projects exceed the original budget, and that almost always comes down to unclear estimates at the start. We work to prevent that by being transparent from day one.
A full kitchen remodel — including design, material ordering, permitting, and construction — typically takes around five months from the initial planning conversation to the final walkthrough. Smaller-scale updates, like replacing flooring, installing new cabinets, or refreshing the backsplash, can often be completed in six to twelve weeks of active work. The timeline depends heavily on how quickly decisions get made, material lead times, and whether any unexpected issues come up once work begins — things like subfloor damage or plumbing that needs rerouting. We give you a realistic timeline at the start and commit to it.
In most cases, yes — especially for any work that involves electrical, plumbing, or structural changes. In Wake County, NC, contractors performing work above $30,000 must hold a General Contractor’s license, and permits are required for most major kitchen renovations. In Horry County, SC, the requirements are similar — licensed contractors pull permits through the SC Contractor’s Licensing Board, and specialty trades like electrical and plumbing require their own separate licenses. Skipping permits might seem like a way to save time, but it creates real problems at resale when inspectors find unpermitted work. We’re familiar with the permitting requirements in both Wake County and Horry County and handle that process as part of the project — not something you have to figure out on your own.
Horry County’s proximity to the Atlantic coastline — and the humidity and salt air that come with it — makes material selection more important than it is in inland Wake County markets. Porcelain tile is one of the most durable and moisture-resistant options available and works exceptionally well in Grand Strand kitchens. Waterproof luxury vinyl plank is another strong choice — it handles humidity, temperature swings, and heavy foot traffic without warping or buckling. Natural stone is beautiful but requires proper sealing and maintenance in coastal environments. We bring samples directly to your home and walk through the pros and cons of each option based on your specific kitchen, your lifestyle, and how the space is used — whether it’s a primary residence, a second home, or a vacation rental property.
The numbers are clear on this one. According to the 2025 Cost vs. Value Report, minor kitchen remodels deliver the strongest ROI of any interior renovation — averaging around 113 percent nationally. That means a well-executed kitchen refresh can return more than it costs when the home sells. Even larger remodels average around 50 percent ROI. On average, a kitchen remodel adds between $13,500 and $25,920 in value to a home. About 54 percent of realtors recommend updating the kitchen before listing, and in competitive markets like Wake County — where the median home price sits around $501,000 — a refreshed kitchen can be the difference between a quick sale and a listing that sits. It’s one of the few home improvements that pays you back in multiple ways.
Start with the basics: how long have they been in business, are they licensed and insured, and do they pull permits for the work they perform? Then look at reviews — not just the star rating, but what people actually say. Do customers mention that crews showed up on time? That the estimate matched the final bill? That communication was consistent throughout the project? Those details matter more than a polished website. Ask for an itemized, all-inclusive estimate before signing anything. A reputable contractor will give you one without hesitation. Ask specifically about our warranty on installation — not just the product warranty, but the workmanship itself. And pay attention to how we treat you during the estimate. If we’re knowledgeable, direct, and transparent before the project starts, that’s usually a reliable indicator of how we’ll handle the project itself.
