Frequently Asked Questions
My contractor took a $15,000 deposit, did 2 days of demo, and then disappeared. What do I do?
File a complaint immediately with your state contractor licensing board — they can suspend or revoke the license. File a police report for contractor fraud. Contact your credit card company if you paid that way (chargebacks are possible within 60–120 days). Small claims court covers up to $10k–$25k depending on your state. This is why deposits should never exceed 10–30% of the total job.
My kitchen remodel was quoted at $40,000. My neighbor says that's way too high. How do I know?
Kitchen remodel costs vary enormously by material choices. A basic remodel (new cabinets, counters, appliances) runs $15k–$40k; a high-end custom kitchen can exceed $100k. Get 3 itemized quotes that break down cabinets, countertops, labor, and appliances separately. Also check if the quote includes permits — skipping permits on electrical and plumbing is a red flag.
My contractor says the project will take 6 weeks. It's now been 4 months and I have no kitchen. What are my rights?
Your contract should include a completion date and (ideally) a penalty clause for delays. Review it carefully. If no end date was specified, your protection is limited but you can send a written notice demanding a completion date. If the contractor is consistently absent, that may constitute abandonment — grounds for termination and recovery of overpayment.
Found mold inside my walls when they opened them up for the remodel. What happens now?
Stop demo work in that area until mold is professionally tested and remediated — disturbing mold without containment spreads it through your HVAC system. Get a mold remediation company to assess scope separately from your remodeling contractor. Remediation costs ($1,500–$10,000+) may be covered by homeowner's insurance if caused by a covered water event.
How do I protect myself if I'm spending $60,000 on a kitchen remodel?
Always: get a detailed written contract with payment schedule tied to milestones (not dates), verify the contractor's license and insurance (general liability + workers comp), check references by calling previous clients, pay by credit card or check (never cash or wire transfer), and never pay more than 30% upfront.
My new kitchen cabinets are already showing gaps and the drawer faces are crooked. Warranty?
Quality cabinet installation should have a 1-year workmanship warranty at minimum. Document everything with photos, send a written notice to the contractor, and give them a reasonable deadline to correct. If the cabinets themselves are defective (not the installation), contact the manufacturer — most carry a separate 1-year minimum warranty on the product.
