One Contract Covers the Whole Kitchen
Kitchen remodeling in Raleigh for layouts that need cabinets, countertops, flooring, and painting coordinated under a single schedule
99 Service Solutions handles kitchen remodeling in Raleigh, covering cabinet selection and installation, countertop templating and install, flooring, and painting under one contract. Homeowners who have tried coordinating separate contractors for these trades know the problem: the countertop fabricator cannot template until the cabinets are set, and the floor finisher cannot schedule until the countertop crew is finished. Keeping all of it under one agreement means a single crew sequences the trades in the right order and no one sits waiting on a second company to show up.
Kitchen work begins with measuring the space and making a layout decision, because the layout determines what cabinet configuration is possible and how the countertop template will be drawn. Cabinet selection happens with the homeowner before any material is ordered, and countertop templating follows once the cabinets are set and level. In Raleigh homes built during earlier subdivision buildouts, the kitchen layout and wall condition tend to be the decisions that set the budget, since load-bearing walls and off-square corners affect what can be moved without structural work.
Request an on-site measurement to review your current kitchen layout and discuss cabinet and countertop options before any material decisions are made.
How a Coordinated Kitchen Remodel Actually Works
The install sequence in a kitchen remodel is not flexible. Cabinets must be level and secured before a fabricator can cut a stone top to fit, and flooring cannot be finished around base cabinets until they are in place. 99 Service Solutions schedules these steps internally, so the countertop template appointment happens after cabinets are confirmed plumb and the floor crew follows behind the counter install rather than waiting on a phone call from a separate company. The owner has more than 23 years in the trade and has held a North Carolina license and insurance since 2022.
After the remodel is complete, the visible result is a kitchen where the cabinet doors close flush, the countertop seams fall in logical locations, and the floor transitions are clean at every doorway. Painting is handled as part of the same contract, so trim and wall colors are applied after the cabinets are in and the countertop is set rather than before, which keeps the finish work from being scraped and scuffed during installation.
Material selection for cabinets, countertop surface, edge profile, and flooring type is made with the homeowner before fabrication begins, since changes after a stone top is cut or a cabinet order is placed create schedule delays that affect every trade that follows.
What Homeowners Ask About Kitchen Remodeling
These questions come up regularly when homeowners in Raleigh are planning a kitchen remodel, particularly in homes where the original cabinets and countertops were builder-grade and have not been updated since the house was built.
What has to happen before countertop templating can begin?
Cabinets must be fully installed, leveled, and secured to the wall before a fabricator can take measurements, because the template records the exact dimensions including sink cutout location and any cooktop opening. If templating happens before the cabinets are confirmed plumb and square, the finished top may not seat correctly.
How does the cabinet selection process work before installation starts?
Cabinet style, door profile, and finish are selected with the homeowner before any order is placed, since most cabinet lines have lead times that affect the overall project schedule. The layout decision happens first, which sets the cabinet configuration, and selection follows from there.
What should you check in an older Raleigh kitchen before planning a layout change?
Wall construction is the first consideration, because kitchens in homes built in earlier Raleigh subdivisions often have load-bearing walls between the kitchen and the adjacent room. Moving a wall without confirming its structural role is where unexpected costs enter a remodel budget.
Why does the flooring install happen after cabinets are set rather than before?
Installing flooring before base cabinets creates a surface that will be scratched and compressed during cabinet delivery and installation. Running the floor after the cabinets are in also means only the exposed floor area gets finished material, which reduces material waste on a large kitchen footprint.
What does painting include in a kitchen remodel scope?
Interior painting for a kitchen remodel covers walls, ceiling, and trim, with cabinet refinishing handled separately if the existing boxes are being kept. Trim and doors are painted after the cabinets and countertop are in place so the final coat is applied to a finished, undisturbed surface.
