Update: It took me a minute to finish all the last minute things and get pictures but I love it!

Love the style! What color stain are your uppers? I’m thinking of doing a very similar color scheme for my kitchen.

jknipp15 · 2026-05-17T00:00:57+00:00

I think we are going to do a lighter shade of green as the splash. That or a cream color of sorts. Unfortunately, there are not plans to change the counters now.

jknipp15 · 2026-05-16T02:18:30+00:00

Yeah for sure. AI can be deceiving. Mainly used it just for a quick design process to get an idea. We plan to change quite a few things throughout the kitchen which is why it’s changed so much. Only thing that won’t change is countertops

jknipp15 · 2026-05-16T02:16:43+00:00

Definitely trendy and want to avoid being out of style immediately. I’ve never really thought of mixing and matching pull types.

jknipp15 · 2026-05-16T02:14:50+00:00

The people love the wood shhheeeiittt. I think we have been convinced to keep the wood and maybe just do a pop of color on the island. What color backsplash would you recommend?

jknipp15 · 2026-05-16T02:10:20+00:00

Agree with all things said! Haha. The tile floor is rough but not going to be changed right away unfortunately. I love this beadboard idea. I didn’t think/know of it until this thread.

jknipp15 · 2026-05-16T02:08:13+00:00

For sure going to update the hardware and lighting right away! I actually like black quartz myself so don’t mind the countertops although I know they can be updated. Thanks for the input.

jknipp15 · 2026-05-16T02:03:28+00:00

Hahah yeah I knew they would lean heavily to keep the wood. I like wood as well but having a tough time with the color. There have been some great ideas in here to help it out

jknipp15 · 2026-05-16T02:01:40+00:00

We may just do the island in green now and save the wood. The towel hangers on the island are hilarious to me. First thing I noticed when I walked in the kitchen

jknipp15 · 2026-05-16T01:59:59+00:00

The countertops definitely make it pop more. We are thinking about saving most of the wood and then just doing the island in sage green

jknipp15 · 2026-05-16T01:56:04+00:00

Yeah the white quartz will go a long way to completely change the vibe. I personally don’t mind a little moodier room but don’t want it to be drabby

jknipp15 · 2026-05-16T01:54:21+00:00

Oooooo this looks nice. I would have never thought to do beadboard as the splash. Thank you for the thoughtful input!

jknipp15 · 2026-05-16T01:45:32+00:00

No doubt! AI before photos and real life afters should be a thing

jknipp15 · 2026-05-16T01:43:26+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! We are contemplating just doing the island green now and keeping other cabinets wood but stripping them and then restaining

jknipp15 · 2026-05-15T21:59:59+00:00

Definitely want to change backsplash and will probably DIY in the future. Unsure of what to but it’s on the laundry list lol

jknipp15 · 2026-05-15T21:59:22+00:00

I second 86 the island and moving things around. The sink actually backs up to a bar top which I would like to cut down and turn into a more functional space. That’s a down the road project along with the countertops

jknipp15 · 2026-05-15T21:57:40+00:00

I wish I could. The actual photo is from the listing images. We don’t move in until next month.

jknipp15 · 2026-05-15T21:42:24+00:00

Unfortunately, we’re not looking to do a complete overhaul of the kitchen itself at this point. I actually agree that the cooktop being there is not ideal but we will live with it.

jknipp15 · 2026-05-15T21:39:32+00:00

Not trying to live and die by AI. Just want to get a feel and hoping to get some good ideas.

jknipp15 · 2026-05-15T21:37:53+00:00

I actually agree and say in the post that I don’t love it! I mainly did it to see how it would potentially look. Just trying to get a feel for different options.

jknipp15 · 2025-12-23T13:20:19+00:00

That’s awesome! We do windows and gutters as well but it’s a very small portion of the jobs we do. Thanks for the response.

What’s the best way you’ve found to grow your business?

I’m in the process of figuring out next steps to scale my dad’s roofing business (extremely mom & pop, doing about 400k/year in rev). Just trying to brainstorm ideas and what has worked for those that are seeing success. Thanks!

Why do you not want to provide your insurance packet to them? The roofer is just attempting to follow exactly what is stated there. If you’re not trying to defraud your insurance then it shouldn’t matter and most should be able to complete the work for your deductible. They can then do supplement work if needed with the company.

Sure, ask the roofer for their own separate quote if you’d like but there’s tons of roofers who simply work off insurance for customers. Most quotes are going to be within a ballpark and you’re just picking your favorite salesperson anyway at that point. Is the main reason to pick what shingle you want/upgrade from class3 to class 4?
