"We had done a great job on her kitchen and made her vision a reality, but more importantly we had created a pleasurable experience for her that she would never forget. This feeling we have coined 'The Remodeling Experience'."
This is an excerpt from 'Our Company Story.' 'The Remodeling Experience' is the cornerstone of Sound Builders' philosophy. We strive to provide that special 'something' before a project is started, as it is underway and when it is completed. Part of that 'something' is the peace of mind that Sound Builders will continually respect our client's ideas, feelings, family and home during all stages of a remodeling project.
We know there is much uncertainty in planning a remodel. We seek to redefine your expectations of what a remodeling experience is like. Our initial plans are intended to specifically relay what we believe our client wants to have us accomplish. This way we can review and make certain most concerns are addressed right away.
During a remodel, we keep our client apprised of what is happening. Each day we cover belongings to keep the inevitable dust off of them, cart away building debris and keep your home feeling like a home and not a construction site.
After a remodel is completed, a comprehensive walk-thru is performed to ensure our client is pleased with the finished project. With over 29 years of being in business you can be assured that we will be here for you. This is our philosophy and passion as it is summed up in 'The Remodeling Experience'.

Countertops are a very easy way to define the personality of your kitchen, bath or home office. There are many options: laminate, corian (solid surfaces), tile, stone (granite, marble, limestone, etc.), wood and other cutting edge contenders like stainless steel, concrete and new engineered stones (silestone, ceasarstone, milestone, etc.).

| Now that you have that kitchen, bath or addition you've always dreamed of, how are you going to keep everything looking bright and new for years? Here are some answers to frequently asked questions.
Q: Stainless steel resists stains, but what should be done about those oily fingerprints and dull spots?
A: Undiluted white or cider vinegar will clean and polish stainless steel. Just moisten a cloth with vinegar and use it to wipe the surface clean.
Q: Granite is relatively unaffected by most chemicals, but what would be best to clean it?
A: Natural, mild vegetable oil-based cleaners such as "Murphy's Oil Soap®" work very well. A synthetic scrubbing pad may be used, but it is still a good idea to stay away from harsh, caustic chemicals.
