THINGS TO CONSIDER ON HOME IMPROVEMENT

Bathroom remodelling or kitchen remodelling can be very exciting. You come up with the idea of home improvement if you are getting bored with the aesthetics or image of your home, if you found new items for your home, or you’re just feeling happy and just feel like having a home improvement. Although home improvement can be very fun, it is lots of things to do. It is not just about buying new cabinets for your kitchen or bathroom. Home improvement is more than changing your wallpaper or paint color.

It is important to not do home improvement alone—especially bathroom or kitchen remodelling. Bathroom remodelling is way different from your normal renovation for your bedroom or living room. Bathroom remodelling and kitchen remodelling involves proper study of the logistical needs of the home improvement procedure. These two remodelling undertaking should involve professional help as to the costing, proper materials to be used, and to the design. It is important to hire a bathroom or kitchen remodelling designer so that you can properly visualize and actualize your style and personality.

Nowadays, selling value is so important to home owners. People are thinking too much on the value that would be added to their home after the renovation. This is actually good! You should recognize the fact that you might want to have a new home someday and move to another place—then you have to sell your property. Having too unique features and having stuff that are not easily repairable are big loss to your home value. You don’t have to buy very unique cabinets or custom made cabinets because it may not be good for the future buyer. It is important to stick the basic. Just improve the basic things in your house.

Ultimately, in having a bathroom remodelling or kitchen remodelling, you should not overspend. Spending on high quality cabinets is different from spending too much on cabinets that are weak and cheap. It is important to asses if your purchase is worth the money you are giving away. To have efficient costing, you should have proper budgeting. A checklist of the home improvement procedures to be done is also necessary. All of these are considerations in having good bathroom remodelling or kitchen remodelling. Always remember, it is not just buying cabinets—it is going back to the basics and knowing why you have to buy cabinets.

NEW CABINETS FOR MY HOME IMPROVEMENT

Let us say you won a home improvement showcase in a game show, what home improvements would you do? You will surely have a long list in mind, from changing the tiles to contacting your cabinet maker for new set of cabinets. The home is a valued investment so you should really think of home improvements that would increase your home’s value. With limited resources, you should that the home improvement will have a good return of investment. Among the fixtures that are usually changed is the cabinet. Every now and then, you want to have a new cabinet to re-imagine your home.  Cabinets offer new texture and spice to your walls. Here are some tips on buying new cabinets.

1. You may face a decision if you’ll buy a face-frame cabinet or have a frameless cabinet from your cabinet maker. A face-frame cabinet offers rigidity. Because face-frames don’t have integral bases, they can be trimmed to fit into irregular wall designs. The frame of the cabinet may reduce the utilizable space thus these kinds of cabinets are carefully designed by cabinet makers. Frameless cabinets, on the other hand, are the ready-to-assemble product of a cabinet maker. Because of the flexible design, frameless cabinets are easy to modify and fit to the aesthetics of your home.

2. Another decision in a home improvement procedure is choosing from a stock and a custom cabinet. Home improvement should be done out of comfort without compromising the quality of your renovated house. Stock cabinets have standard sizes which make them easy to purchase. Custom cabinets, on the other hand, are hand-crafted by a cabinet maker depending on your taste and home improvement objectives. They usually cost more than a stock cabinet.

3. Again, having home improvement should come with low cost while maintaining high quality. In having products from your favourite cabinet maker, you should be able to evaluate a quality cabinet. Usually, stock cabinets have high quality assurance because they are machine-manufactured. Super low cost lumber-made cabinets are of high suspicion. Stock cabinets can be so enticing but you can also be fooled by photo-printed and laminated images of wood grain on your cabinet. Having a trusted cabinet maker will not only ensure the aesthetic satisfaction you want but he can also ensure a good quality cabinet.

These are just some of the things to be considered in having a new cabinet for your home improvement. Having a trusted cabinet maker will do well for generations.

INCREASING HOME VALUE THROUGH KITCHEN DESIGNS

Have you started planning for a home improvement? Are you full of advice on things like counters and cabinets and the best way to get a good deal from a contractor on kitchen designs? The kitchen home improvement process is grueling, and if done correctly, very rewarding in terms of pleasure-factor (that is to say, how it feels to spend time in a new space).  

There is no way to avoid feeling tired during some stage of the home improvement project, but you can make your life easier by avoiding these common mistakes:

1. Never overdo details of your kitchen designs.

Kitchen design accents such as pediments over stoves and plaster mouldings on cabinet fronts can represent decorative excess. Remember that your kitchen design should be compatible with the rest of your home. 

2. Never overlook your kitchen ventilation.

Kitchen design include atmosphere and comfort ,thus, as you cook, whether you opt for an industrial-like stove or go with a traditional 4 burner model, you should overcompensate when it comes to an exhaust system (especially if you do any sort of consistent or serious cooking).  Moreover, try and get your stove installed on an outside wall so that you don’t have a long run to the outside.

3. Never forget your storage and service.

Cabinets are just cabinets, right? Wrong! They’re another opportunity to inject your kitchen design and make your cooking process more efficient. Top quality slides and hinges means cabinet doors will stay closed and drawers won’t stick. Stay away from drawers that are stapled together or made of particleboard. For interiors, wood veneer is more durable than melamine, laminate or particleboard.

4. Never forget lighting.

We live in an older type home and have original, and some replica, lighting throughout our house. To make mood but still maintain a good working space lighting, make sure to choose pendants over the main work surface and sink, but some general task lighting over the entire kitchen would have provided more light.

CUSTOM CABINETS FOR YOUR HOME IMPROVEMENTS

When homeowners are planning for home improvement, one decision they need to make is whether to use cabinets from a big box store or chose custom wood cabinets instead. While it may seem wise to go with stock cabinets to save money, it is important to look at the many benefits of custom wood cabinets.

Space saver.

Space is expensive. In home improvements, why not monopolize on the space you already have by installing tall cabinetry? Cabinet makers are of great help in maximizing such space. Unlike custom cabinets, standard widths in semi-custom cabinets further limit your design so that any additional wall space will have to be left unused. With custom cabinetry, you capitalize on every inch of space.

Best Material.

Hardware can really impact the final look of your cabinets. It can either dress them up or down or make them look more contemporary, country, or traditional. Knobs and drawer pulls are easy and inexpensive to change later in comparison to cabinet doors or finishes. Cabinet makers make a good job in fitting style to the material of your needs. You should ask which types of materials are used, and how the cabinets will be assembled. A solid design is necessary to the success of your project.  Before fabrication begins, and very clear set of drawings must be generated.  Whether you are working with an architect, designer or directly with your contractor, make sure you have the final design worked out on paper up front. 

Get to choose the best cabinet maker.

The cabinetmaker will always be a good choice for home improvements, if it is a service that they offer.  Once you have chosen your cabinet maker, it is a good idea to trust him on his recommendation of cabinetmaker.  He will likely have worked closely with this shop over time, and his crew will know what to expect and how to install the cabinet package and guarantee the quality you expect at the lowest cost.

CABINETS: THE MAIN POINT OF HOME IMPROVEMENTS

As your family grows, storage areas will magically disappear. As a result, many homeowners choose to add as many cabinets to all rooms as possible. Whether it’s storing food, extra plates or office supplies, homeowners and interior designers are getting creative and resourceful when it comes to adding storage. Of all the elements of home improvement, the construction, door style, color, and material of your cabinets will make the strongest visual statement. They’ll also have the most impact on your wallet. Since choosing cabinets is such a large portion of the average home improvement project budget, understanding all the options is critical. 

What type of cabinet is best for you?

Stock or Production Cabinets. This type of cabinets invests most of its manufacturing dollar in a good, durable finish. It suffers from a limited number of styles, finishes, accessories, and hardware, and it requires space-wasting fillers to fit. The upside is that these cabinets have an entry-level price point and is usually in stock or available within a few days. It is perfect for investment properties or starter homes.

Semi-Custom Cabinets. These cabinets offer the consumer a selection of cabinet options. All of the 'standard' cabinet configurations and sizes available from a stock cabinet company will be available from a semi-custom cabinet company. The availability of size and style options allows you much greater freedom to create a home improvement layout that is tailored to the tastes and desires of the customer.

Custom Cabinets. Custom cabinets are made by skilled cabinet makers by hand - not on assembly lines.  Cabinet makers take pride in their work, using quality materials for a finished product that’s a work of art.  Custom cabinets are quality construction that’s built to last.

How much should your budget be?

If you want really inexpensive and really easy home improvements, then forget about the heavy-duty sanding and staining. Choosing custom made cabinets is not advisable for those tight on budget; maybe investing in more expensive cabinets in the future would be better. But if your budget is more than enough, custom cabinets are the best deals for you.

The inside of your home isn’t all that matters when it comes to home improvements. Make sure to save some for exterior improvements.

Home Improvements with Kitchen Cabinets

When it comes to home improvements, the room that first comes to mind is of course the kitchen. There are few home improvement projects that can match the sensation and pride of a newly renovated kitchen. Whether it is altering the design, redoing the floors, constructing a new island or simple cabinet updates, there are numerous benefits to kitchen renovations. If you are thinking about kitchen remodeling, you may be wondering what the plus side of doing so is, otherwise known as the pros. Luckily, you are about to know more on the use of kitchen cabinets and its roles in kitchen remodeling.

There are two ways with which you could purchase kitchen cabinets: through custom-made kitchen cabinets which can be adjusted depending on your taste but are commonly more expensive, and through pre-assembled kitchen cabinets which are easier to find and are way cheaper.

Customized Kitchen Cabinets

Here are some characteristics of these types of cabinets:

1.       Sure Quality. Custom kitchen cabinets are made by skilled cabinet makers by hand - not on assembly lines.  Cabinet makers take pride in their work, using quality materials for a finished product that’s a work of art.  Custom kitchen cabinets are quality construction that is built to last.

2.       Design. Custom kitchen cabinets provide you with a personal customized selection of wood, style, finish, and hardware to address your goals and needs. Stock kitchen cabinets are made in an assembly line in batches at different times and often results in non-matching materials and finishes.

Pre-Assembled Kitchen Cabinets

For those of you are tight on budget, you may want to check the advantages of these types of cabinets:

1. Cost Efficient. Customized kitchen cabinets can often be a financial headache. If you are not careful, the cabinets can consume your entire kitchen’s budget. But with lower price, you make room for more expenses on other parts of the home.

2. Convenience. The convenience of pre-assembled kitchen cabinets is unmatched. Kitchen remodeling takes much time to spend when attempting to fit into a cabinetmaker’s busy schedule. You can eliminate that time by ordering pre-assembled kitchen cabinets before you will need them in your kitchen.

Still undecided? If you are thinking of home improvements like kitchen renovation but are unsure of the costs or challenges associated with it, always remember that it never hurts to ask a professional.

Why Call A Cabinet Maker to Reface Kitchen Cabinets?

Are you still happy when you are in your kitchen? How many times have you thought about getting your kitchen renovated or remodelled? If you can’t keep tabs, this probably means that you’re getting bored with your kitchen already. This means that something needs to change.

Newly refaced kitchen cabinets make kitchens look clean.

The problem with kitchen home improvement is that it will take a lot of time for the process to be completed. The other problem is that while renovations are on-going, you might not have proper access to your kitchen. This is why many homeowners change their kitchen cabinets first.

When updating kitchen cabinets, the process won’t be too disruptive of your kitchen chores. But more importantly, simply updating the cabinets will already change the look of the kitchen. Now there are two ways to update the kitchen, you can either replace or reface. Nowadays, many people prefer the latter and here are the reasons why:

1.       Refacing is more affordable.

With cabinet refacing, homeowners can save a lot of money in updating the look of the cabinets. For complete kitchen home improvement, the range of cost will start from $20,000.

If you talk to a cabinet maker and ask about cabinet refacing, you’d be surprised to know that you will only be paying a half or a third of the amount mentioned above. Plus, you’ll be getting spectacular results with only half of the expense.

2.       Refacing is stress-free.

With home improvement, one thing you’d want to avoid as much as possible is the stress and hassle. Traditional kitchen renovations go down this route because everything will be changed in the kitchen. But with cabinet refacing, a cabinet maker need only work on a portion of the kitchen and will not be too bothersome around the house. You also need not worry about making too much of a mess too.

Furthermore, it is a quick and easy process. Depending on the size of your kitchen, a cabinet maker can be in and out of your home for just a couple of days. Kitchen renovations usually last several weeks.

3.       Refacing is stylish.

Going back, you want to change the cabinets because you want a new look. Cabinet refacing offers that. While you may not be able to replace the cabinets completely, there’s really no need to worry because a cabinet maker will show you tons of styling options for the cabinets. At the end, it will still look brand new.

Home improvement is expensive, tedious and often, can be disruptive around the house. Cabinet refacing is a smarter way to update the kitchen without worrying about all these.

Ten Kitchen Remodeling Tips to Remember during Home Improvement

The kitchen has become a dull place. It is cramped and feels like it has become merely a place to cook and prepare food. It wasn’t like it used to be where family members and guests would sit around and hang out in for hours. Do you miss those days?

If you are a kitchen lover, you already know what is needed to be done—kitchen remodelling. It is time to update the kitchen and turn it into a place where people would like to stay in again. However, you must be very careful on the next steps to take during home improvement. It may spell the difference between success and disaster for you.

Here are ten tips for kitchen remodelling to remember:

1.       Only use quality materials. Pick high quality materials for your kitchen cabinets because these are the things that easily wear and tear. Stay away from drawers that are just stapled together. Durable kitchen cabinets are made of wood veneer.

2.       Stick to tall cabinets. It is best to use tall kitchen cabinets nowadays—as high as your ceiling permits. This enables you to have more storage and using the extra wall space for shelves at the same time.

3.       Paint over stain. While wood stain finishes look classy, they will be hard to alter later on if you want to change it. Rather, brush-painted kitchen cabinets are better.

4.       Put a beautiful countertop. This is essential in kitchen remodelling today, so make sure you get a sophisticated and elegant countertop.

5.       Put an island. Having an island is a great idea. However, make sure to keep it light and not cluttered.

6.       Keep it simple. Any home improvement idea should be kept simple. Anything overdone is just counterintuitive.

7.       Avoid high maintenance things. If you don’t like spending time making sure your kitchen is sparkling, stay away from natural surfaces and stainless steel.

8.       Use basic appliances. You may want your kitchen to look as modern and chic as can be, but then again, it is always best to use basic appliances in the kitchen. Not only does it take less space, they are less stressful to use too.

9.       Put a small dining room in the kitchen. This should encourage small talks in the kitchen. Plus, it makes the room look great.

10.   Make it personal. The best time to inject your personality in your kitchen is during home improvement. Make your kitchen a reflection of you and not a place to showcase what kitchen appliances you have.

Kitchen remodelling is not a piece of cake; it takes a lot of planning to get the idea right. Nevertheless, if you are passionate about the kitchen and know what you want to do, it should be a breeze.

7 Steps to Take towards Good Kitchen Remodeling

One day, you just realized that your kitchen looks too shabby already and you want to change things up. Immediately, you knew that kitchen remodeling is the only way. The kitchen cabinets should be replaced, the layout should be changed and the kitchen interiors should be spruced up. However, you also know that any home improvement task needs the right planning.

Some will take the easy route and not plan their home improvement endeavor at all. They think that simply talking to an interior designer and a contractor should do the trick. Sorry to say, it doesn’t. You must be the brains behind it all. It is your kitchen anyway. So, how do you go about your kitchen remodeling then?

1.       Know what you want.

First and foremost, you should have an idea of what you want in terms of design and layout. Do you want a bigger cooking area? Do you need extra kitchen cabinets for storage? Do you want to get the tiles changed? Know what you want and need.

2.       Set the budget.

Before making any final move, research on how much the cost will be in relation to the ideas you have. This goes without saying that you also need to have a budget in mind to make sure you don’t overspend or underspend. Know how much you can afford and stick to that.

3.       Find contractors.

You will definitely need to hire kitchen remodeling contractors because such a home improvement task can only be done by professionals. Select contractors based on their quality of work, years in the business, ability to work with a budget and fair rates.

4.       Talk to them.

It is very important that you will be able to communicate with them properly. Talk to them about the style you want, is it modern or classic? What kind of fixture and finish do you want? Do you want the kitchen cabinets to be replaced or just improved?

5.       Ask for a schematic design.

If you’ve confirmed every detail, ask them to make you a design complete with the specifics you want. The design should be particular. Even the plumbing, lighting and electrical plans should be drawn out.

6.       Get terms on paper.

If you are in agreement with the terms and project rate already, it’s time to draft a contract. Everything should be in writing including the estimate date of completion.

7.       Monitor the work.

Now that the kitchen remodeling is a go, it is time to make sure that the professionals are doing their work right. Monitor their work and keep an eye on the schedule. This way, you can prevent any mistake from happening.

The process may be a tedious one, but a good home improvement endeavor like this is a huge investment for your home. Don’t rush the planning and make sure everything is planned out.

Home Improvement come Winter Time

The winter time can take its toll on your home and bank account if you aren’t prepared. Here are the most common winter home improvement, cabinetry tips to protect your home, family and wallet this season.

Winter’s coming, and with it, plunging temperatures and shorter days that make you want to curl up and relax, warm and cozy by the fire. As the coldness looms and you prepare to pump the heat, it's important to protect your home from potential damage and address heat and energy leaks. These seven simple tasks will help you stay warm, safe and energy-conscious this winter.

There are 3 types of cabinetry Semi-custom, Stock, and, Custom cabinets. Semi-custom cabinets offer more interior fittings (accessories), and a wider range of finishes, styles, and door styles then the Stock cabinets. The simplest way to see many of the differences between Semi-custom and Stock cabinetry is to request the catalogs and brochures for the two different types of cabinetry. Stock cabinets don’t have the dividers, dish trays, trash holders; roll out drawers, sliding shelves etc. They have a limited species of woods, stain colors and door styles.  Also, their hardware is typically not the best. Their drawers often do not have full extension guides, or soft or self closing mechanisms. The soft closing doors and self closing drawer are the trends in cabinetry. If you don’t have them, then of course, you don’t know what you are missing, but, once you get them you won’t ever want to do without.  They are quiet, easier and faster to close. My wife and I don’t like seeing doors left open. Now, with just a tap of the hand the doors and drawers close automatically. Semi-custom cabinetry have the above luxuries’ for their cabinets, plus many more styles, colors to choose from.

Finding a home improvement expert is important — a home improvement project gone wrong can cost you. A good ad isn’t proof of quality work. Find out for yourself. Check with friends, neighbors, or co-workers who’ve had home improvement work done, and check out a contractor’s reputation on online ratings sites you trust. Get written estimates from several firms, keeping in mind the lowest bidder may not be the best choice.

Making Home Improvement a Lot Easier with the Right Cabinets

The right choice of cabinets can make or break your kitchen and bathroom remodeling. Since style and function go together, not to mention also your budget, choosing appropriate materials and the right people to work on it will give you at least peace of mind.

They might be small, but cabinets are the backbone of the kitchen and bath so it is best to configure the cabinetry to make the most use of your kitchen and bath’s size and floor plan. Make sure to consider the different layouts and looks. Wall cabinets today extend to the ceiling, making use of high-up space for storing infrequently used specialty serving and cook-ware as well as toiletries for baths. Base cabinets however get the most attention, whereas hanging wall cabinets are sacrificed for aesthetic features in home improvement. Kitchen and bathroom remodeling do not only focus on appearance. The materials make take most of the budget. When choosing a material for your cabinets, consider how the materials will feel in the room. Cabinet knobs and pulls are mainly made of metal, glass, and crystal. With metal, you choose cabinet pulls in nickel pewter, chrome, stainless steel, and bronze in varying finishes. With this, it is recommended that you also think about the contrast with the doors. In home improvement, it is all about contrast and compliments. For instance, a dark matte color can contrast nicely with a light cabinet paint. Brush nickel cabinet handles can set off a stained wood grain rather nicely. Silvery steel cabinet pulls and knobs also look great in a contemporary room with dark cabinets.

Cabinets, depending on how they’re constructed and how they can be customized, fall into three categories: stock, semicustom, and custom. The category of a particular cabinet is not necessarily an indication of quality. High-end cabinetry in Tampa is worthy of its price tag not only for its appearance but also for its long-lasting quality and precision in all aspect, from construction to hardware. So make sure to get the best cabinets for your budget keep your work area compact and stick with standard sizes and let you design adjust to work with these standards sizes.

When Buying Bathroom and Kitchen Cabinetry, Follow this Easy Guide

You’ve been successful at saving money for home improvement. What’s the first thing on your list? It’s changing the bathroom and kitchen cabinetry.

·       Semi-custom cabinets- Semi-custom cabinets are also assembled at factories but they are more flexible compared to the stock cabinets. Semi-custom cabinets can have a range of sizes, storage options and finishes available. Some of these cabinets can be personally assembled too. However, due to its semi-customization option, it can take one to two months before it arrives at your doorstep.

Home improvement is a great endeavor to take because it can really change things in your home’s interior. But when it comes to cabinets, you can’t only look at mere appearance alone. With cabinets, function and usability are very important, which is why you need to consult a professional cabinetry company about it.

Why Choose A Cabinet Maker?

Choosing new cabinets for your home improvement project is a process that can be confusing and a little nerve-wracking. You’re about to commit a significant amount of money to someone for a product with which you may not be very familiar.  A cabinet maker is an individual who engages in the activity of conceptualizing, designing, and constructing furniture. They are usually considered synonymous with bench carpenters although they work specifically with cabinetry.

 Cabinet makers often differ from many other trade professionals in a couple of important respects. For one thing, they get on-the-job training as apprentices rather than formal training. Thus, they tend to move into specific skill sets that match their interests and capabilities. The two huge factors for choosing custom are attention to detail in the design phase and having the ability to seamlessly match millwork, trim or furniture pieces with the custom cabinetry. Cabinet makers have the ability to make cabinetry that offer customers the ability to have complete flexibility in their project designs. Special sizing constraints, uncommon wood types or finishes, and complicated design elements are not as issue with the help of cabinet makers.

In choosing a cabinet maker, make sure to ask as much questions you need.  Pay attention to the particular questions and concerns that each company brings up. Are the questions detailed? Are any helpful ideas or information offered? Does the cabinet maker seem to have a gasp of what you want, and do you think he or she is prepared to adhere to your requirements? After these questions have been raised and you have interviewed a few prospects; now it’s time to narrow down your choices. You will be working very closely with your cabinet maker so review your notes and select those who provide you with the best information and one who seem interested and engaged in your home improvement project. Also, get a written quote before signing a contract or giving a down payment. If the cabinet maker is going to install something in your home, make sure they have their own public liability and personal injury insurance. Without this, you would find yourself responsible for paying for any on-site damages or injuries.

Which Wood to Pick for Your Cabinetry? The Pros and Cons of Types of Wood

The time to change kitchen and bathroom cabinetry has arrived. You’re both excited and worried at the same time. You’re excited for some home improvement, but you’re worried about whether your choices will be the best for your home.

This mixed feeling is only normal for every homeowner who undergoes home improvement. Simply because every homeowner wants the best for his or her home. But don’t worry too much; this should be a fun time for you. To help you out, here are the different types of woods and their colors as well as why you should or shouldn’t pick them:

·       Ivory/White wood is often laminated. This type of wood is cheap, yet it offers your cabinetry with a timeless and classic look. Since it’s white, it also makes the room look more spacious. However, ivory colored wood can easily show dirt.

·       Oak wood is a popular choice, because it’s cheaper than cherry or maple wood. Oak is durable and features an open-grain that can be colored yellow, white or red. However, oak wood consists of a lot of grains. Unless you want that, don’t get it. Also avoid fake laminate wood trying to achieve an oak finish, this just looks cheap.

·       Pine wood is the least expensive, but it offers a rustic look if that’s what you like. However, since it’s quite cheap, it is not as durable. Pine wood is soft and can easily dent.

·      Maple wood is a choice for people who like little grains on their wood. It has minor variations. However, Maple wood can look confusing when on veneer.

·      Cherry wood is well-loved because it has a beautiful grain. However, you’ll have to make sure that you pick the right color since it comes in a wide array of varieties from yellows to reds. In addition, Cherry wood is the most expensive of all types of wood.

·         Hickory wood is cheaper than Cherry wood and it’s durable too. However, Hickory has lots of variations as well. Be sure to check each one out and find what you like.

·      Dark Stained wood is great for cabinetry that requires a classic look that’s more on the dark side. However, the only risk you’ll be taking with dark stain is that when it chips, the wood beneath the stain will be seen. Also, since it’s dark, it easily shows dust and scratches.

Home improvement projects will require you to spend money, which is why you should only pick the right cabinetry. Home improvement is always an investment, so don’t hesitate to spend on something worth the money.
