Stoney Fork, KY Custom Countertop And Cabinet Makers

The kitchen is important room in your home. Chances are no matter your cooking skills, you spend some time there every day, and many people even prefer to eat in the kitchen as well. Today's home parties are often hosted right in the kitchen with everyone gathering around the stovetop or oven as homemade appetizers are prepared and a good bottle of wine is shared. Whether for yourself or those guests, it's important that your kitchen look and feel as if, it's truly your own. This can be more difficult than other rooms in the home, which you can dress up with throw pillows or a nice new chair. How do you dress up the kitchen? Obviously getting some new cabinets and countertops is the way to go, but before you run out and start buying, let's go over a few things you should consider first.

Here are a few things to remember about custom cabinets and countertops; keep these points in mind to save yourself some money as well as time and effort:

• When installing cabinets and countertops, make this one large project rather than two separate projects. The countertops you select should fit onto the cabinet base and this is more likely to happen if you choose them together. This will mean measurements will be accurate the first time around and you'll have a more seamless appearance in your kitchen as well.
• Remember that kitchen materials should be durable and last for a lifetime. Choose environmentally products if possible but make sure they'll be durable as well.
• Never give up safety measures or try to cut corners in your kitchen install just to save a few dollars.

So how do you find someone to help you with your new kitchen project?

• You should always choose a custom cabinet builder or cabinet maker for your kitchen remodel. This means those items will be installed by the person that built them, ensuring fewer errors in measuring and fitting.
• You can of course have the cabinets built by a cabinet maker but then you should choose a licensed contractor to install them.
• It's never worth the attempts to try and install these cabinets yourself. For one thing, you may void the warranty you get with those items! And there are many things to consider about installing cabinets properly you may miss.

When talking to a custom cabinet maker for your project, find out the following:

• Have you covered all your pricing options?
• How much experience have they had in this type of project?
• Are they licensed and have the proper certifications for the Stoney Fork, Kentucky area?
• Have you checked their references from previous customers?
• Have you covered the estimated length of time this project will take?
• Are they using environmentally friendly materials?
• Will they clean up after they're done?
