"New Generation Painting gifted us with one of the best experiences weâ ve ever had with a contractor! Our home was in serious need of exterior painting and extensive dry rot repair. We interviewed several potential contractors, but when we met Ivan, we knew weâ d found our person. He is a hands-on business owner who books limited jobs so quality stays high. He was on site every day. His team got mad props and respect from our neighbors, who were amazed at their skill, precision, and professionalism. In fact, several neighbors wanted their contact information after seeing their work! They completed the job beautifully, on time, and in budget, Their communication was excellent. We honestly would not consider hiring anyone else for future jobs- these guys are seriously the best!! Thank you Ivan, Sarai and New Generation Painting!"

"Elvis is a very solid guy. Very knowledgeable technically, competent, efficient and thorough. He was able to locate and repair a previous imperfect installation by another repairman, so now the doorbell works very well. Elvis is also very personable with a very friendly, pleasant and reassuring manner. He explained everything very carefully and in detail. We went over all of the options. The work was done very well, very successfully, and was of excellent quality. The job was also very reasonably priced. I am highly satisfied. I would highly recommend Elvis to anyone needing electrical repair work and installations."

"We worked with Ali (sales manager) and Tony (project manager), who took the time to design a project that made sense for our property and our budget, made a number of suggestions and recommendations and were never pushy or tried to "sell" us on something. The crew really went above and beyond to provide top quality workmanship and overall we were in very good hands. Highly recommended!"

Cabinet Contractors FAQs, answered by experts

While having an assistant to help ensure safety and to lend a hand is desirable, if someone isn't around to assist, you can install kitchen cabinets on your own. Normal kitchen cabinet installation starts with the upper wall cabinets. If you're working on your own, consider installing the bases first and building a temporary support structure on top of them to help you install the uppers.

It is cheaper to paint kitchen cabinets than to replace them. Painting costs range from $400 to $1,300, based on the size and complexity of the project and the average costs in your area. In contrast, replacing kitchen cabinets can cost several thousand dollars, including materials, installation, and potential modifications to countertops and plumbing. 

The cost to install soft-close drawers professionally typically ranges from $40 to $100 per drawer. If you prefer a DIY approach, you can purchase the necessary hardware yourself. Soft-close inserts usually cost between $15 and $25 per drawer, while soft-close drawer slides can range from $5 to $230 each, depending on factors like quality, quantity, and type (e.g., heavy-duty, side mount, under mount, or self-closing). Investing in soft-close mechanisms can be worthwhile as they eliminate slamming and may help extend the lifespan of your drawers.

The Janka Hardness Scale rates wood species according to their hardness levels or density. On the scale, hickory ranks as the most dense hardwood that is common for use in making cabinets. While there are woods that are harder, they're uncommon in cabinetry. Maple, oak, and walnut also rank relatively high on the scale and are excellent for use in cabinetry. 

If you have a drawer larger than 30 inches, you should consider adding two pulls, but, again, this decision is up to personal preference. Any pro you work with on cabinet installation can help you determine how many pulls you need and where you should place them.
