What Berwyn kitchens usually need
Lead-safe work on older paint
Older paint is treated as possibly lead-based until tested; containment and HEPA cleanup are part of the job.
Updating wiring and plumbing behind the walls
Two-prong outlets and old drain lines are common here. We plan dedicated circuits and new piping where the remodel opens walls.
Small jobs as well as remodels
A loose cabinet door or a new faucet gets the same attention as a full kitchen; many customers start with a small job.
