What is the $10K Kitchen Refresh?
$10K Kitchen Refresh Project in MA
The $10K Kitchen Refresh is Lofty Built's entry-level residential renovation program. It is designed specifically for homeowners and those preparing a home for sale who want a fast, cost-effective update.
By utilizing in-house capabilities, from materials supply, delivery, stone fabrication, to installation, Lofty Built eliminates distributor markups and coordination gaps between trades.

$10K Kitchen Refresh Collections
We offer five timeless colors for our Shaker-style cabinets: White, Antique White, Dove, Grey, and Cinder. You can pair these with a wide variety of stone options, including:
- Granite: Dallas White, Santa Cecilia, Valle Nevado, Azul Platino, Ornamental, Caledonia, and Steel Gray.
- Quartz: Super White, Pure White, Carrara Bianco, Galaxy White, Galaxy Mist, and Dark Gray.
Understanding the Timeline
It is important to distinguish between the time our crew is in your home and the total project duration.
- On-Site Installation: The physical installation typically takes 3–5 days.
- Total Project Duration: From the time a deposit is placed and materials are secured, most projects are completed within 4–8 weeks. This allows for material lead times (approx. 3 weeks) and countertop fabrication (approx. 1 week after templating).
What Affects Your Timeline?
- Kitchen Size & Complexity: More cabinets or intricate layouts with many corners naturally require more installation time.
- Site Readiness: Delays in removing old appliances or disconnecting plumbing will postpone the start of our work.
- Permitting & Regulations: Requirements vary by municipality and can add time depending on the local building department's speed.
- Schedule Availability: We operate on a "first deposit, first scheduled" basis; securing your spot early is key, as our in-house team is highly subscribed.
- Project Changes: Any approved change orders or modifications to the original scope will extend the project schedule.
