Doing some kitchen remodel work. Need new cabinets, counters, backsplash, and plumbing reworked for a new sink, and possibly some electrical work for under-cabinet lighting. Looking for someone reliable. TIA

Custom cabinets? You have a budget, that might help someone knowledgeable give you a better recommendation. The person you want for a $30k remodel might not be the person you want for a $120k remodel...

Yeah, I know. But I'm working with insurance claim money from a water leak and that's all I've got left after I paid the plumber.I only need basic things. I'm alright with not having custom cabinets.

Honestly, box cabinets don't work out any cheaper than having a decent set of custom built. And quality on them is crap.

Look at your house, the neighborhood, your families needs, and potential for selling in the future. I;m not saying go over the top but make wise decisions for future plans, even if you need to add a little money to get better future use and return..

Do not use Wholesale Flooring. I used them for my kitchen floor/counters and it was a terrible experience. They certainly don't care about small jobs and even told me the several delays were due to me being bumped for larger jobs.

I like Leonard's Plumbing. My builder used them and I had them do some other work. Nice man.
