Bathroom Remodeling
Report
A bathroom remodel is generally the easiest room to remodel as it usually involves improvements to the existing design, without much change to the overall layout of the room. And because many homes have the same builder installed generic bathroom, there's usually ample room for improvement in a bath remodel.
Kitchen Remodeling
Report
Not only does kitchen remodeling increase the value of your home, compared with other home remodeling projects the kitchen ranks in the upper tier of recouped costs. According to Remodeling Magazine, national data suggests that homeowners can recoup anywhere from 68% to 75% of their kitchen remodeling costs.

We are extremely pleased with the results of our re-modeled kitchen and baths. Your communication throughout the process was excellent. You did what you said you would do when you said you would do it. Your price was very fair for the quality of workmanship involved. Please consider my comments as my highest endorsement of your work and the overall operation of your company.

After a interviewing and obtaining estimates from a number of renovation/remodeling companies for our new dream kitchen, we went with Frank and Doreen at Tropical Kitchens. It was one of the best decisions we ever made! They took our ideas and transformed them into 5-star reality! The quality, care and consideration that was applied to our project was exemplary; real old fashion craftsmanship and courtesy!
Their original quote stayed true to the end. We could not be happier with the project. For any future home remodeling projects, we will not even bother getting alternative bids; we will go with Tropical Kitchens!

While it's not something the the owner of Tropical Kitchens advertises, I discovered Frank Schooley is quite the furniture maker. I guess it shouldn't come as any surprise really as he does make custom kitchen cabinets. I hired him to make a bed that would fit in a very small cottage. It had to be on wheels to easily pull out for cleaning, but I also desperately needed storage.
After he and his wife visited my home to get an idea for the tiny space and how I lived, Frank came up with a great solution that was also made exceptionally well. A queen size bed frame that easily fit into a small space but also had pull out drawers underneath for additional storage. And the best part - the drawers were on the same lovely sliders, high end kitchen cabinets are made so I was able to easily slide them out even though they were loaded up. Frank also made a custom shelf to fit in a nook and essentially act as a desk. Again the area was small so he found the perfect spot to give me desk area I needed without taking up too much space. I would gladly hire them again for any project I have!
