The end of summer marks the ceasing of hours of fun and games by children and in many homes the beginning of a nightmare game called Kitchen Catch-up. The rules are to call everyone you know who has had anything from a doghouse to a roof or a kitchen remodeled and ask them ninety-nine questions. Then call the Better Business Bureau and ask them ninety-nine more questions, have a two-month migraine, and decide on which contractor by the end of the year. Or if your lucky, maybe your kitchen will be finished in time for Christmas dinner.
How does this scenario sound: Instead of having to replace the floor, hire a plumber to reinstall the sink, repair and paint walls damaged in ripping out cabinets — you could deal with a trained qualified company of professionals who have a better way.
Choose cabinet refacing instead of replacing your cabinets and have your new kitchen cabinets finished within 3 to 5 days! That's right, that is all it takes. Select from many styles in oak, cherry, maple and other wood spices, laminate and thermo-foil door styles.
Choose from a selection of finishes to perfectly match your taste, decor, and pocketbook. Several styles include the glass doors that can be changed to "update" as often as you would like. They can be changed to match your mood, the nationality of food you're eating, holidays or just family fun.
Refacing your cabinets adds an investment value of up to 145% compared to 95% added value of a kitchen replacement. Instead of paying the average $6,000 - $18,000 for factory made stock cabinets or the upwardly spiraling cost for custom cabinetry of $18,000 - $30,000, depending on the size of your kitchen, choice of materials, and the contractor you select. You could save money by refacing which averages from $3,000 - $8,000 depending on the size of your kitchen.
Custom-made cabinets take 7 to 10 weeks to make and deliver. Installation takes another 3 weeks minimum for custom or stock remodeling. With cabinet refacing, you're back in your kitchen cooking-up the bacon in 3 to 5 days average. The process to success is fast, smooth and easy.
The cabinet bases and shelves are inspected to be sure they are reface-able, most are. Lighter kitchens seem brighter, bigger and also lighter cabinets can handle rich hues in countertops. The National Association of Home Builders reports: Kitchens are the most popular room for residential remodeling and repair projects. Last year's national average cost was $9,700. Collectively, residential remodeling tallied over $120 billion last year, based on statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau.
Cabinet refacing is becoming the buzz-word in kitchen cabinet remodeling to add comfort and value. Kitchens today are the central gathering place in the home.
