Antique White Cabinet

Posted on October 1, 2011 by

Instead of removing your existing cabinets, we simple remove your old drawers fronts. We then cover/reface your existing cabinet boxes with either 1/4 solid wood, veneer or thermofoil. Next we install the new doors and drawer fronts that match the newly refaced cabinet boxes. We can also install other options, such as new drawer boxes and roll-out shelves.

Some of the major benefits to refacing are:

You will save 50 – 60% of the cost of a complete kitchen tear out. Superior quality of the doors and drawer fronts when compared to builder grade cabinets.

In 3-5 days, your refacing project will be complete. Compare that to weeks, or even months for a new kitchen remodel.

Less mess and aggravation. In most cases you can still use your kitchen during the refacing process.

Electrical work and plumbing are minimized.

Have the option of keeping your existing countertop.

Can add some new cabinetry if needed.

Cabinet refacing is considered a green option to complete kitchen remodeling. It is estimated that 90% of homeowners keep the same basic layout of their kitchens. There is less waste being sent to landfills when you choose refacing. If you have some changes, such as new appliances, that require modifications to your current cabinets, we can usually accommodate that.

Options for refacing are very similar to that of new cabinets. The selection of door styles, wood species, stain colors, glazing, crown molding and hardware are nearly endless. You can have the kitchen of your dreams.

If you are in a real hurry and want your cabinets done even faster, you can choose to “re-front”. This means that only the doors and drawer fronts are replaced and the existing cabinet box will be left as is. If your cabinets are white, almond or antique white, this is an excellent alternative. Also, if you have stained wood cabinets, and don’t require an absolutely perfect match, this option works well. Usually the difference is barely noticed.

Another term you may hear is “cabinet resurfacing”. Basically it refers to putting a fresh look on your cabinets and includes, painting, staining, or refacing. While painting is cheaper and easier than refacing, the results are often disappointing. If your cabinets are in excellent condition, painting may be a viable alternative, but if they are old and tired and need a nice facelift, refacing is the only way to go.

Cabinetry Bathroom

Posted on September 26, 2011 by

When you think about re-modeling your bathroom, typically you start thinking about the bath unit itself and sink fixtures. However, there is a simple upgrade you can do on your bathroom that most folks neglect to remember — your cabinets! Updating and replacing the cabinetry or even just the cabinet doors will give your bathroom a brand new look and feel.

The best strategy if you want any kind of cabinetry is to do research online and by visiting a showroom where you can peer into drawers and open doors to see exactly what storage space there is. Looking through magazines and DIY catalogues as well as those from custom cabinet makers enables you to see what choice there is. In fact there is so much choice that it can be bewildering. You need to touch the woods to see their quality and to be certain what wood you want in your bathroom, you should seek the advice of an expert. Perhaps you don’t need wood after all but could go for glass and stainless steel. There is so much choice that you need to weigh up your options. Start by thinking whether you need, say, a dark or light wood, or one that is painted. Do you want glass or frosted glass doors? Or would wood be a better bet? Only by doing research will you find the answer to such questions.

The next strategy is to consider what space is available in your bathroom. Just where will the new cabinets fit? Do you want a suite of cabinets designed to match your fixtures, or do you want one or two cabinets that will fit on a stand-alone vanity unit? Will you need medicine cabinets or will the cabinets on a vanity unit suffice? Would your bathroom look better with dark cabinets with glass doors with integral light rails or other illumination? Or would it be better to go for a light wood? You will probably want to visit a showroom a few times before you come up with the answer, and believe you have discovered just what your idea of the perfect bathroom for you is given the limits of space available.

The final of the three strategies is to consult a bathroom cabinet design expert who will be able to advise you on ways to have what you want in terms of unique bathroom cabinetry. When you reach this stage, you should explain your budget limit and not waste time looking at items which will cost more than you can afford. Your design consultant will be able to see what space is available and may well come up with suggestions to utilize the space in ways you hadn’t considered, so keep an open mind, as he/she could have very good suggestions which would probably look great in your bathroom.

A bathroom cabinet design expert will be able to tell you what the best woods are and suggest combination’s for your cabinets so that they do not take up all the available space. It is often more difficult to design custom bathroom cabinetry than a kitchen because of the limited space. Also there are the problems of plumbing water and electrical wires to consider.

Consulting a bathroom design expert will ultimately save you money and time and he or she will do their best to give you custom bathroom cabinets that live up to your expectations. Continue reading →
