Your Questions

Why should I work with a specialized kitchen and bath contractor?

As a specialized contractor we have experienced most of the obstacles you may encounter during a remodel, and know how to resolve those problems. We have spent years perfecting our approach to remodeling kitchens and bathrooms, and that experience can make a potentially nerve racking project a pleasurable experience.  You wouldn't go to a podiatrist for a cavity would you?

How much is the kitchen going to cost?

There is no one answer for this. For a small kitchen you can spend as little as $5,000 if you are willing to do some work. If your taste is extravagant we have seen clients spend as much as $120,000. Most kitchen remodels can be completed in a price range of $15,000 to $25,000.

How much should I budget for my kitchen remodel?

The National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) suggests a budget for a kitchen remodel should be 10-25% of the homes estimated retail value. NKBA also suggests that budget should be distributed as follows:

  • Cabinetry: 35%
  • Counter tops: 11%
  • Appliances 12%
  • Lighting and Electric 9%
  • Wall Covering 3%
  • Floor Covering 7%
  • Plumbing  3%
  • Labor  20%
How long will it take to get the cabinets I order?

Lead time on cabinets varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. For our stock size cabinets most orders can be delivered in 5-10 days. On custom or semi-custom cabinets the lead time on manufacturing on average is 4-8 weeks.

Can you design my kitchen from measurements I provide?

Yes we can, however your measurements need to be very detailed to be accurate. You should include all window and door openings. All electric and plumbing location should be noted. We prefer to do at least one on site visit before the cabinets are ordered to ensure accuracy.

Do you charge to do an on site measure/estimate?

We will be glad to do a FREE on site measure and design consultation for customers in our service area.

Will You do a design even if I am sourcing the material from another supplier?

We will do a general layout and design for your kitchen for a fee. We prefer not to do this because we are familiar with our product lines and what our manufacturers offer. If we design a kitchen for you and your supplier doesn't offer a component of the kitchen then the kitchen needs to be redesigned.

Is your pricing comparable to the big box stores?

For stock size cabinets we try to be in line with the home center pricing, however it is like comparing apples and oranges. In most cases the big box stores carry particle board cabinets that are veneer finished that are less quality then the product we carry. Our cabinets are all wood construction with painted finish.

Can I do some of the work myself to save money?

Absolutely, We are happy to work with homeowners that are willing to do some work to reduce cost. However we expect those customers to be diligent in their timeliness to ensure there are no unnecessary delays in the schedule.

Can I replace my cabinets but keep the same floor?

In most cases you can keep the existing flooring, as long as you are willing to keep the same floor plan, and layout.

Do you offer a Builder/Contractor discount?

Yes, we do offer licensed professionals an industry discount. Contact us for details.
