Kitchen Tune-Up was started by Dave and Cindy Haglund in 1988. After opening its doors in South Dakota, it has grown to provide services to all 50 states in the U.S. The company was founded on an idea that Dave had in 1986: a process providing that kept kitchen cabinets looking new forever. As a result of this effort, his company got its name “Kitchen Tune-Up.”
Top Ranked Companies
The Good
- Online Design Tool
- Family-Owned
- Product Variety
Online Design Tool
One of the main features of the website is a tool that lets customers get a glimpse at what their kitchen could look like. It is extremely simply and user-friendly—not to mention helpful for those who don’t know one product look from another. Customers can plan out the look of their new kitchen before they even contact the company.
Family-Owned
Founding by a husband and wife team, Kitchen Tune-Up is family owned and operated. Kitchen Tune-Up only recently had a change in management when Heidi Morrissey, a daughter of the founders, became president of the company in 2017. The benefit of family-owned businesses is that employees are more likely to work hard and care about company reputation. This means the experts at Kitchen Tune-Up will work hard to win your approval.
Product Variety
Kitchen Tune-Up offers laminate, solid surface, granite, quartz, and other countertop product types. Its employees hope to be able to educate you as to the best product and design choices according to your taste, budget, and kitchen design. The website also offers before and after pictures of previous projects.
The Bad
- Undisclosed Warranty
- Undisclosed Fees
Undisclosed Warranty
Kitchen Tune-Up does not disclose warranty information on its website. Surprisingly, this is a relatively common occurrence in the industry, but does not excuse that fact that it forces customers to assume the company offers a bad warranty.
Undisclosed Fees
Just like with warranty information, Kitchen Tune-Up fails to include information regarding any fees along with its service.
The Bottom Line
Kitchen Tune-Up has created a website painstakingly designed for the needs of its customers. Though it doesn't disclose information regarding warranty or fees, Kitchen Tune-Up shows proof of its excellent service through before and after photos of past work and by providing quality products. We recommend customers at least ask Kitchen Tune-Up for an in-home assessment before making any final decisions.
