The Horners' 23 Year Old Kitchen, Made New, With the Whole House Floored
Lori and Bob Horner found True Builders through a referral from a friend of their daughter's, and when Josh came out, the families clicked. The scope was the kitchen plus flooring through the entire house, and the fact that one company could do both, without contracting out the floors, is a big part of why they signed.
The whole design came from drawings, including a window deck converted into cabinets, and the communication stayed easy the whole way: "I had no problem talking to the guys," Lori says, "the communication was awesome." Their 23 year old house reads brand new now, and Bob's line is the one worth stealing: "While it hasn't added any square footage, it's added square footage to our lifestyle."
How to judge a design from drawings before demo
Remodeling from drawings works, as this project shows, but only if you interrogate the drawings before demolition makes them permanent.
- Walk the actual room with the plan and tape out the island, walkways, and door swings on the floor
- Check the work triangle: sink, stove, and fridge should be steps apart, not a hike
- Confirm every drawing dimension against a field measure; a half inch matters at the cabinet run's end
- Ask where the trash, the microwave, and the everyday dishes live; renderings forget real life
Why flooring the whole house during a kitchen remodel is the smart window
Continuous flooring is what makes an older home read new, and a kitchen remodel is the cheapest moment to get it. The kitchen floor is already coming up, furniture is already displaced, and one mobilization covers the whole job, with no transitions between old and new material at every doorway. Piecemeal flooring done room by room over years almost always ends with mismatched lots and visible seams. If whole-house flooring is on your someday list, price it with the kitchen and compare.
