LocalShops1 recognizes kitchen construction business
ST. PETERSBURG – In honor of Women’s History Month and Women In Construction Week (March 2 to 8), LocalShops1 is highlighting the work of member Danielle Romack.
Romack founded Kitchens Today in 2022. The company specializes in the kitchen and bath business all over the Tampa Bay area.
Prior to launching her business, Romack worked in finance, took a leap of faith and transitioned to go out on her own in the kitchen and bath world. She identified a gap in the market when she discovered that few home improvement companies understand how to secure reasonably priced financing for their customers.
Romack leads a team of 30 that excels in kitchen remodeling. They bring the showroom and samples to customers.
“The kitchen is the heart of the home and people spend a lot of time in there. It is great when people give good feedback or refer someone,” Romack said. “I also meet a lot of women who want to get in the construction industry.”
