Having been in business for 25 years, Lifetime Remodeling Services has earned the reputation it now enjoys. In fact, they’ve already been awarded for service excellence by the Guild Master, which is an impressive feat.

They’re also a member of the National Association of The Remodeling Industry, and National Kitchen and Bath Association, which speaks volumes of their credibility and expertise.

For us, Lifetime Remodeling is the best choice for those who are set on following a budget because of two things. 

First, we like that they offer kitchen remodeling services that are personalized to meet the budget of their clients. These include a Kitchen Remodel Refresh that starts $55, 000, Mid-Range Remodel that starts at $75, 000, and High-End Remodel that starts at $90, 000.

We also appreciate that they’ve grouped their services based on the scope and budget of a project. This helps clients choose and prepare for the kitchen remodeling that they want or need. 

Second, we love that they also offer three personalized financing options. These include 90% financing with terms up to 30 years and 100% financing with low interest rate and no down payment needed. 

With these options, even huge remodeling projects like a luxury kitchen don’t seem so impossible for clients anymore.

All in all, they get top marks for offering personalized service and financial ease, which – in our books – is truly the best of the worlds.

If credibility is at the top of a client’s checklist, Neil Kelly may just be the remodeling firm they’re looking for.  

Established in 1947, this company offers decades of experience in kitchen remodeling. This credibility is also shown in their comprehensive list of services, which we appreciate.

Through the years, they’ve also earned their membership in Oregon Remodeling Association, Home and Build Association, and National Kitchen and Bath Association, which for us is one of the strongest shows of credibility.

We also like that they guide their clients in choosing the best service for them by breaking down their services into three levels: Cosmetic Update, Pull and Replace, and Custom Kitchen Redesign. 

Neil Kelly also offers a warranty term of five years to their clients, which turns their service into a good investment. This not only reflects confidence on the part of the company, but it also encourages clients to see how their services offer great value for money.

The next feature that we find noteworthy is Neil Kelly’s B Corp Certification. Earning this certification means that they’re a company that meets the highest standards of social and environmental performance based on their sustainable practices and community involvement.  

For those looking for a remodeling firm with a history of consistent and quality service, Neil Kelly has just these and so much more. 

Square Deal Remodeling is the most practical choice for us, and we say this because of their design-build process. 

The design-build process requires one company, in this case Square Deal, to handle the entire process of the remodeling project – from preparation of design to post construction care. We like that they have their own professionals and don’t really have to rely on a network of third parties. 

This is practical and convenient for clients, as they don’t have to find different suppliers or specialists for every stage of the process and will only have to communicate with one firm. That saves a lot of time, and money too. 

We like that they’re even ready to supply clients with quality materials for cabinetry. They offer premium cabinetry manufactured by DeWils Custom Cabinetry, and Crystal Cabinet Works, which is proof of their expert eye for top-caliber workmanship.

They provide two categories for their kitchen remodeling services: the Mid-range Kitchen Remodel which starts at $60, 000 and Upscale Kitchen Remodel which starts at $100, 000. We think this this offers great flexibility for clients who are on different budgets.

However, we wish that they would offer more than two options and start with a more budget-friendly package. Clients only planning to get some quick touch ups for your kitchen might have to start looking elsewhere. 

In any case, both options are covered by a 2-year warranty, which many of their clients appreciate.

What we like best about Revive Works Remodeling is the impressive network that comes with availing of their services.

They especially keep a network of professional designers for cabinetry, counter tops, and flooring, which we think is impressive. If a client’s kitchen upgrade will mostly require these features, then Revive Works may be the best option for them.

They’ve also partnered with suppliers such as Parr Cabinets and Area Flooring, both of which offer high quality materials for kitchen remodeling. We think that this offers great convenience for the client, as they can simply rely on Revive Works’ recommended suppliers for their project.

We appreciate that they’re also a certified aging-in-place specialist. In our opinion, this makes them the most reliable option for recommending accessories for a kitchen that needs to cater to elderly household members.

We also like that they offer a one-year warranty to their clients covering all their projects.  

What sets Revive Works apart from any other firm is their vision and mission for sustainability. Since they were established in 2014, they’ve made a commitment to reduce their carbon footprint on the environment through their design and build practices. 

For example, they use smartphone progress reporting processes, and internet mapping to decrease their automotive use, which we think is an incredibly thoughtful and practical pivot. 

Bottomline, If remodeling a kitchen from a sustainability mindset is part of a client’s goals, then Revive Works Remodeling is the choice for them.

There are two things that we like about CK Hoffman Design. First, their hands-on client service, and second, the special deals they offer. 

What makes their client service hands-on is their commitment to build and keep a relationship with their clients from start to finish, which we admire.

They do this by also offering general contracting services. This makes CK Hoffman a practical choice that can help save both time and money by offering both design and construction, instead of making a client have to canvass separately for a general contractor.

These services translate into personally sketching designs for their clients, sourcing out the materials to use, and meeting with suppliers in behalf of their clients. We think that this strong focus on design, complemented by relevant services, is the perfect way to marry aesthetics and function.

We also appreciate that they offer a $5,000 design package for kitchen remodeling, where $1000 credit goes to the construction cost. For us, this is a great way to attract clients that are looking for all-in-one deals.

While they also offer a free phone consultation to their clients, we’re not too happy that it’s only for 20 minutes. Clients, especially first-timers, might need a little more time to decide what services will work best for them.

In any case, we recommend CK Hoffman for its excellent hands-on approach to client service, as well as its sweet deals.
