"I've been in business for 20 years. I've worked on kitchens with many other kitchen companies. No one gives service like Mike from initial meeting through the last handle being installed. If I have a question, Mike is always available. I know of no one except him who is there when the cabinets are delivered, who talks my installers through the installation. No one else gives service like that."

to help them design and supply new kitchens for their clients.
If you're a general contractor, architect or interior designer, you know that a kitchen renovation is a complex project. But if you think it has to be a confusing, expensive and frustrating experience for you or your client, you're not working with the right kitchen professional.
My name is Mike Laurence and I enjoy helping trade professionals like you turn tired, worn-out old kitchens into great looking new rooms with smart design and better quality products.
These are challenging times...even for responsible, experienced and reputable trade professionals. It seems like wherever you look, there's a place selling kitchens. Trouble is, every time your client visits one of these outlets, your income is jeopardized...and you risk losing control of the job.
There is a better way to manage kitchen jobs. And I promise you, with my support, you'll own these projects like never before...and be a hero to your clients
To begin with, I employ a novel business model: No showroom! Instead, I've put together a unique 'in-the-home' kitchen design service that 'brings the kitchen showroom to your client's kitchen table.'
Now, you're probably thinking, "That's crazy. A kitchen business without a fancy showroom?" But I can assure you this simple notion has served me well for almost nine years. What's more, homeowners love it! When I meet with them, we 'blue sky' everything from cabinet styles, appliances and countertops to designs, storage needs and costs. If your client has a vision, I'll help them realize it.
Here's how it works. From the minute you're asked to look at a kitchen project, you should think about getting me in front of your client.
First...
as your kitchen expert, I'll put my 22 years of knowledge and experience to work for your client 'one-on-one' in the comfort and privacy of their home. No crowds. No distractions. No wasted time.
Second...
I will show your client how to make the space in their kitchen work harder because I know how to design with my head, rather than have a computer design program fill-up the wall space.
Third...
I will respect your time by doing my job. I'll handle design, measuring, layout, pricing, ordering, delivery and customer service. I'll manage templating and installation of premium countertops. You'll have copies of all plans. Approve all schedules. And I'll meet your installation crew on the job before they place the first cabinet. Naturally, if there's a problem with any product I supply, I'll take care of it. Like you, my goal is a smooth installation and a happy client.
Fourth...
tell your clients I will save them money when they buy cabinets, countertops and accessories from my company because they don't pay for a pricey showroom.
Fifth...
best of all, I will offer your client an initial home consultation without obligation. If they feel comfortable with the results of our meeting and wish me to prepare a detailed design and budget, we'll complete a Design Agreement.
I've helped a lot of trade professionals produce many wonderful kitchens for their clients over the years. Let me show you how my unique 'in-the-home' kitchen design service will help you win more kitchen projects, complete them faster and protect your earnings.
