"Frank was a pleasure to work with as were his carpenter Chris and painter Tim. They were all professional and great problem solvers when issues occurred. We were very happy with the final result and considering the number of cabinets involved, probably saved at least $40,000-$60,000 over replacing them with new cabinets."
"We are so happy with our cabinets! Raymond was professional and easy to work with. His work is excellent and our cabinets look beautiful. We would definitely hire New Color Cabinets again and highly recommend them."
"I have worked with JD Woodworking for 13 years. They have I fort hired them to install cabinets. I was so impressed with their work and professionalism that I hired them in my next house for a custom office, home theatre and bar. Each of these projects were custom built from the cabinets to the coffered ceilings. I have recommended them to several friends and I would recommend them again without hesitation."
"These guys are fantastic -- completely professional, completely together, and completely top-shelf. I was recommended them by a fussy person with very high standards, and they exceeded my expectations, and made fast work of a very dirty job. We had two whole floors painted, but they were very clean, hardly intrusive, and the work was done much faster than I would have expected. I'd be hard-pressed to recommend any other painters!"
"Last night we hired Redo Cabinets to do a kitchen remodel. We chose them because of their excellent reviews and ratings from Google, Home Advisor and Better Business Bureau. We were very happy with the professionalism of their sales team and the thoroughness of their presentation. We look forward to the project starting in late July and we will post another review after they complete the installation. We are confident that it will go well because of the excellent follow up already received 12 hours later from Alex in their production department. Thanks to Brad, Thomas and to Chris for walking us through the front end of this process."
"JRG did a great job installing our door?they were fast, efficient, and professional throughout the process. They were easy to communicate with and made the whole experience stress-free. I recommend JRG for anyone needing reliable and skilled work."
"Juan was friendly and upfront in all our dealings. He was very competent and made suggestions on the remodel that I would have never thought of. We had a great experience working with Juan. Despite being a little messy we are going to hire him for another job we have planned, will use him I the future and have forwarded his name and number to a family member."
It is generally more cost-effective to purchase stock or semi-custom cabinets than to have them custom-built. The best option depends on your budget and customization needs.
Here is a breakdown of the average costs per linear foot:
Custom Cabinets: $500 to $1,200. The final price is influenced by factors like materials, size, and design complexity. For example, a basic slab cabinet door might cost $60 to $70 for materials, while a more intricate mullioned glass inset panel door can range from $100 to $200 per door.
Semi-Custom Cabinets: $150 to $700.
Stock Cabinets: $100 to $400. These are pre-built and the most affordable option, but they offer limited customization and may not be suitable for rooms with unusual shapes or high ceilings.
Clean regularly, avoid harsh chemicals, and check hinges for proper alignment to ensure longevity.
Yes, you can replace the cabinet hardware after installation to change up the look of your cabinets. Replacing the hinges, handles, pulls, and knobs allows you the design flexibility to match your other appliances or finish schemes to your liking. Talk with your kitchen designer or cabinet installer about the best hardware option for your cabinets.
For safety when installing a vanity, attaching the vanity to the wall is ideal to prevent it from moving. Typically, sinks must be 4 inches away from bathtubs. Also, most states require that you have 21 inches in front of a sink, but the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) recommends 30 inches for more comfort.
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.
