Perfect Storm Kitchen & Bath, a Northeast Pennsylvania remodeling contractor serving the Wilkes-Barre and Scranton areas, has announced a deposit relief program for homeowners affected by the April 2026 bankruptcy of Wren Kitchens, which abruptly ceased all U.S. operations and left thousands of Pennsylvania customers with unrecovered deposits and unfinished projects.
Wren Kitchens, a UK-based kitchen retailer operating showrooms inside Home Depot locations across the East Coast, filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidation on April 24, 2026, and immediately shuttered all 15 of its U.S. showrooms without warning. Pennsylvania and New Jersey alone accounted for an estimated 8,000 affected customers, many of whom had paid deposits ranging from several thousand dollars to more than $20,000 and had already begun demolition work in anticipation of cabinet delivery. As unsecured creditors in the bankruptcy estate, most face little realistic prospect of recovering those funds through the court process. In several documented cases, homeowners had already had their kitchens partially demolished when the closure was announced, leaving them with unusable spaces and no recourse through the contractor they had hired.
In response, Perfect Storm Kitchen & Bath is offering affected homeowners a credit of up to $5,000 toward any new kitchen remodeling or bathroom remodeling project, applied directly against the contract price upon verified proof of a Wren Kitchens deposit. The program is available to homeowners who sign a contract with Perfect Storm Kitchen & Bath by July 15, 2026. Homeowners seeking to participate are asked to provide their original Wren Kitchens contract and documentation confirming the deposit payment.
Jerome Sulkoski, Owner of Perfect Storm Kitchen & Bath, addressed the situation directly. "These homeowners trusted a company, paid their money, and woke up one morning with no contractor, no cabinets, and no answers," Sulkoski said. "We cannot recover what Wren took from them, but we can make sure that losing that deposit does not also mean losing the project entirely."
The Wren Kitchens collapse has drawn attention to broader risks consumers face when contracting with large, deposit-dependent remodeling operations, particularly those without a locally accountable ownership structure. Consumer advocates and state officials in Connecticut and Pennsylvania have urged affected homeowners to file written refund requests and explore credit card chargeback options, though recovery prospects through bankruptcy proceedings remain limited for most. The situation has prompted renewed consumer interest in verifying the financial stability and local accountability of remodeling contractors before signing contracts or remitting deposits.
Perfect Storm Kitchen & Bath operates with an in-house crew and no subcontractors, a model Sulkoski points to as a defining difference from larger national operations. Every project is managed under a single point of accountability, with Jerome personally reviewing each job before work begins. The company completes most bathroom remodels in as little as two days and approaches kitchen remodeling projects with the same emphasis on efficiency and direct communication. Homeowners receive a same-day estimate at no obligation and a 3D design rendering before any work begins, so every detail is confirmed and approved in advance.
The company has earned the Greater Wyoming Valley Chamber of Commerce Emerging Business of the Year award and multiple Best of the Best regional recognitions since its founding in 2019. Financing options, including zero percent interest for 24 months, are available for qualifying homeowners, with monthly payment options designed to accommodate a range of budgets including fixed-income households
