Storefront problems
Why customers walk past instead of walking in
Small issues make people think twice. We fix them fast.
•
Old signs and peeling paint
Faded colors and chips make people wonder if you are open or care.
•
Dark or blocked windows
Low light and cluttered glass hide your goods and make the shop feel closed.
•
Sticky doors and messy entry
Hard-to-open doors, cracked tiles, and loose mats feel unsafe and push people away.
Our fix: Fresh paint and signage, clear glass, smooth doors, bright lights, and tidy edges so customers feel welcome.
We plan a simple, clean front that feels safe, bright, and open.

Custom signs, specialty glass, or feature lighting cost more and can add lead time.
Access and scheduling
Tight sidewalks, no parking, or after-hours work need extra labor and staging.
Complexity and coordination
Moving doors, adding power, or working with landlords and permits can shift time and cost.

“I own a barber shop in Brampton. When another highly reputable company screwed me over, I had to hire KDM, and I loved everything they did to build my shop from scratch. They worked day in and day out to make sure the deadline was met and only the best materials went into my barber shop.”
