When your home is undergoing a massive renovation, losing the heart of the home shouldn’t mean losing your routine or your sanity. That exact frustration is what brought Joe Spine and Amy Hawkins together to build The Temporary Kitchen Co.

Joe is a seasoned contractor and the owner of Spine Construction, based in Washington, PA. With years of hands-on building experience, he understands the chaos, dust, and structural realities of a major home overhaul better than anyone. He knows firsthand how disruptive a gutted kitchen can be for a family trying to maintain daily life amid the construction dust.

Amy is the principal force behind HSD Services, a luxury kitchen and bathroom design firm, and HSD Custom Cabinetry, which provides high-end custom cabinetry directly to homeowners and trade partners from her home base in Peters Township, PA.   With a sharp eye for bespoke layouts and high-end finishes, Amy spends her days creating gorgeous, functional spaces.  She also recognized the same heartbreaking problem with her clients…the agonizing transition period where their homes were torn apart and they were left without a kitchen.

Realizing that kitchen renovations shouldn't require months of living out of cardboard boxes and relying on a microwave set up in a laundry room, Joe and Amy decided to bridge the gap. They combined Joe’s expert construction background with Amy’s high-end design sensibilities to create an upscale, fully equipped mobile luxury kitchen trailer. Now, homeowners don't have to press pause on their lives or sacrifice the ease of home-cooked meals just because their dream kitchen is under construction. What was once the expected downside of kitchen renovations, is now a thing of the past.
