PROJECT HIGHLIGHT

Skyline Kitchen + Bath Remodel

In a complete update on the kitchen and bath areas of this home, the True Bearing Built team worked in collaboration with Island Architecture and Smith and Vallee Cabinets to transform our client’s Skyline residence into the home of their dreams. The kitchen features custom new white oak cabinets and hardware, new lighting, appliances, and tile backsplashes. In the bathroom, the shower was reconfigured to a large walk-in format, utilizing ocean-colored glass tile and multiple shower heads.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

After thoroughly researching local remodeling contractors, we teamed with True Bearing Built and worked together to design and build the kitchen of our dreams. They hooked us up with a talented architect/designer who solved all the annoying traffic and work center issues that had plagued our old kitchen. They recommended an astounding custom cabinet shop for the build, which delivered beautiful new light oak cabinets full of innovative storage solutions.

Without exception, every True Bearing Built technician and subcontractor was courteous, efficient, and delivered great results. Budget deviations were reasonable and thoughtfully communicated, since some structural challenges affecting our remodel were not known until the walls and ceilings were opened up.

I really can’t say enough about the professionalism from the entire True Bearing Built team. They were extremely helpful, knowledgeable and committed to making house a beautiful home. I highly recommend them for project you may have. Be sure to look at their portfolio. You will see the quality in their work.
