Who loves Black Cabinets?

Trendy black cabinets are still a hot item in 2019! Would you have the nerve to pull the trigger on these bold designs? Let’s answer a few questions about updating and installing a new kitchen?

I want to update my kitchen cabinets, Where do I start?

We start with an in home consultation. Keffie would come out to your home, take measurements and photos, and discuss with you your budget and goals.

Can I keep my existing appliances?

Sure, no problem! If you make the decision to keep your appliances we would plan out new designs and possibly new layout around the sizes and specs of what you already own. During the remodel we would remove your appliances and store them in a safe place and reinstall after the cabinets are set and ready to go.

How much does it cost to remodel my kitchen?

The cabinets cost anywhere from $10,000 – $50,000 (average) depending on the size of your kitchen the materials selected. The countertop typically costs between $50sf and $200sf depending on the material. We are doing a lot of quartz countertops and they typically run between $100-$200 sf. There would be additional costs if we need to move walls, electrical or plumbing.

How long does it take?

We can come out and measure and get you an estimate fairly quickly, sometimes as fast as 3-4 days depending on what’s in the que. Once all of the selections are made, the drawings are approved, deposit paid and the cabinets ordered, it typically takes 6-12 weeks from start to finish.
