Q: Can you buy prefabricated built-in bookshelves?

• <div><p>Most built-in bookshelves are custom-made to fit the available space and meet a homeowner's needs. This level of customization allows you to design the exact look and functionality you desire. However, you can buy cheaper, prefabricated bookshelves to slot into your desired space. However, prefabricated designs might not slot in as snuggly or need to be adjusted to fit.</p></div>

Q: Do cabinet handles come in standard sizes?

• <div><p>While a three-inch center-to-center handle is common, there&rsquo;s no guarantee that sizing will be the same for every cabinet. Different types of handles have different sized holes to attach them and there are lots of different cabinet handle widths and styles. You should measure to be sure you know the size of a handle and to avoid surprises.</p></div>

Q: What if my cabinets don’t have attached hardware?

• <div><p>Many cabinets use &ldquo;J-pulls&rdquo; or other handless designs. However, frequent use also gets these areas very dirty over time. A simple household cleaner and a soft washing cloth is usually enough to clean these areas when grime builds up. Adding a layer of lemon oil or beeswax can help prevent finishes from wearing off.</p></div>

Professional, timely and best installers we’ve had. Our installers took to time to get everything fit right. They had their hands full with a few doors and windows, due to bad framing from our construction contractor. Our new doors and windows work flawlessly now.

ABSOLUTELY BEWARE! I installed painted cabinets in May 2021. By Feb 2022 they were chipping. Ever since, have been trying to work with the supplier and Showplace's rep to understand and rectify the issue. And the problems are getting MUCH worse. The paint literally will peel off if you use...

The process has been horrible. We called for safety check after another contractor hit buried propane line. Heritage (Amerigas) is our propane provider. It took their service tech over 2.5 hours to arrive. In the meantime, due to our safety concerns, we called another company to verify that...

They were fine and seemed like they knew what they were doing. They were prompt and responsive. They have done everything right so far. Actually, it is not I who will be picking them but my contractor who is going to pick the provider. I would consider contacting them again in the future.
