Troubleshooter: ABC11 viewer helps homeowner after kitchen remodeler closes

BURLINGTON, N.C. (WTVD) --

We first heard Frances and Paul Tausch's story in June after they paid more than $12,000 for American Kitchen to build their dream kitchen. But before any work could be completed, American Kitchen shut down with no notice.

The Tausch's were left with an incomplete kitchen and nowhere to turn.

"I guess now the only thing we got to go forward somehow, got to move cabinets back in and just forget about it," Frances Tausch said.

But Tausch didn't have to forget about her dream kitchen thanks to some generous Triangle businesses.

"After watching your story, my wife and I were sitting there, we were saying, 'We've been blessed this year,'" owner of Witcraft Painting & Decorative Concrete Coatings Robert Witcraft said.

Witcraft also got several other businesses on board.

"We're really sorry that this happened, and you know, not all contractors are bad," he said.

Witcraft coordinated with Paragon Building Group to complete the project.

"It was important for us to make sure they got what they intended to get for the best price possible and it was a team effort," owner of Paragon Building Group Josh Mauney said.
