This looks familiar. We've may have some similar questions to this in the past. You might find some good info here : pizza search. I don't always get it right though, cuz I'm just a simple bot.

Thanks for the advice. Do you know a good carpenter in the Pittsburgh area I could call?

That's easier than it sounds, though. A lot of private contractors are booked solid, they don't return calls, and they don't want to do a smaller job. At least with a company like Molyneaux, there's more accountability than with the guy that your neighbor's cousin recommended.
I see those commercials for the West Shore bathtub replacement in a day, and am tempted, because even if it's more expensive, it just seems easier. I'm not handy, and I don't want my only bathroom torn up for a week.

Yeah. I’ve heard they’re pricy. I’m not sure how to find a private contractor that I know will do a good job though. Particularly for building new doors

I’ve only dealt with Molyneaux for flooring, but they were always so much more expensive than other places for the same flooring. Like more than double.

Molenoux refresh service isn’t your best choice for kitchen cabinets - your cabinets should be refinished with a high build lacquer not house/trim paint that molenoux uses. You will need frequent touchups and repairs with their service. Hire a carpentry company or painter for your cabinets.

If cabinets are in good shape you can do a little refresh yourself to get a little more time out of it. Just clean them. I'm honestly not joking. They get a film of grease and funk that doesn't really come off. You can use floor wax stripper. They aren't all equal so you need to test a spot that isn't in a spot you can see. Give it a couple days to make sure it doesn't hurt the finish. It kind of depends on the quality of cabinets to how well it works. Cheaper cabinets aren't as smooth of a finish so harder to get fully clean. Sometimes it makes them look like just installed. It could buy your kitchen a few more years to save up more money to change it how you like.
I've used. Trewax heavy duty floor stripper. It says it's step 1 -strip
Make sure you test like I said.

That's ridiculous. Despite what so many people in the sub say because they always want to compare it to somewhere like Chicago or Boston, if you're in the city or inner ring suburbs, the bus service here is generally fine.

Brighton heights, beechview, and where I worked in Lawrenceville is where I heard this nonsense. I say Bosh Flimshaw to them.

Molyneaux does not gut or rearrange the current layout - can paint or replace current doors/drawers, get new countertops, backsplash, etc. I used to work there and still have friends there, feel free to DM if you have more questions / want to get hooked up with one of the consultants

I live in the West End and it is incredibly quiet and boring over here lol. Guarantee none of those worried people ever even lived in the city at all.

My 10-year-old informed me that McDonald’s 10 piece nuggets, fries, & a milkshake is “only like” $13. Fuuuuuck that, we rarely even go to McDonald’s anymore :/

Never said I worked at Mad Mex Oakland. No story. Just a garbage company.

Mineo’s doesn’t even make my list, it’s trash. Agree that no pizza anywhere is worth $30 & I love pizza.

I will 1000% agree to this and do appreciate you saying this. Big sucks and Tom may be… out of tune with a lot, but he did really care for her and honestly a lot of employees. He’s just… unhinged I think? Disengaged? And said/did some really screwed up things but Idk. But he did really care for her. (And others, despite the music thing lol) I just think all of them are just so out of tune. Minus Bill Fuller who is just a POS

If, you like and are ok with 100% IKEA. their stuff doesn’t mix and match without heavy customization. Make sure you like the IKEA sink etc.

they heard "bus" and didn't listen to a word i said after, many of which were strung together to point out that a bus picks up 50ft from my front door and drops off 2 blocks from the location.
