Want to Sell Your Home for More Money? Here’s 5 Ways to Make It Happen

in , /by

(One of those ways is of course to upgrade your kitchen)

 

A kitchen serves as both the place we have our food and also as the family’s gathering point. We do not only eat but also we have fun. Consequently, it is crucial that every member of the family feels comfortable with the interior of the kitchen.

Good kitchen cabinets should be all-wood having soft close drawers. In fact, kitchen cabinets define the features of a kitchen.  And when considering a kitchen remodel, the cost of kitchen cabinets and countertops is about 50% of the average kitchen remodeling project cost. Therefore, it is important to know the  options available.

However, both the aesthetics and functional factors should be considered before embarking on kitchen cabinets remodel.

The first step in kitchen cabinets remodel is choosing a style, Victorian or contemporary simplicity. Before you decide a cabinet style, you need to consider the overall theme and décor of the home and ensure that your choice should complement the existing theme of the entire house.

The second step is to consider spacing and measurements. Expanding the kitchen or remodeling the existing space will determine how much space you can allocate to the kitchen cabinets.

If not professionally or correctly done, a kitchen cabinets remodel can be a big mess and/or head ache. Some people believe that a kitchen cabinets remodel requiring the demolition of the old cabinets and making of new ones, has to be very expensive.

Methods such as cabinets striping, cabinets scraping, cabinets refacing, and cabinets full overlay have been considered efficient and inexpensive ways to remodel the kitchen cabinets. Quite a large number of people firmly believe in those methods and adopted them in remodeling their kitchens.

However, there is another option that is the same price or less, less strenuous, more convenient, and time-efficient than the methods highlighted above. It adds more beauty and value to your kitchen. In fact, the process involves new all-wood cabinets with soft close drawers in the style of your choice.

How can that be.  Traditional logic says that new cabinets will be very expensive.  That was true in the past.  But, these days we have  new options.  Manufactured cabinets are doing to custom cabinets what the manufacturing process has been doing to every other industry for years.  Creating quality products at great value.

The remodeling option in question is simply kitchen cabinets replacement. Yes, REPLACEMENT. Replacing your existing cabinets is far more profitable than going through repairs and refinishing. However, there is a secret to this method, and that is PREMIUM CABINETS.

Premium Cabinets is a company that specializes in the sale of highest quality cabinets at the best price. It is incredible that you can get brand new kitchen cabinets at our company for less than people can reface or refinish them for you.

How is this possible?

  1. We work directly with the factory; therefore, we eliminate the middlemen and their markups.

  2. We keep our overhead low.

  3. The cabinets are made to common sizes avoiding the high cost of labor for the production process.

Cabinets not only increase the value but also help a home sell faster. At Premium Cabinets, we guarantee the best value in cabinets today. Contact us on at www.premiumcabinets.com.

The Doorlemma: Shaker Style vs. Raised Panel

in /by

When deciding to upgrade your kitchen there is no question that an important part is choosing a cabinet that suits your style and taste, after all your end goal is to create a kitchen that you are going to be happy with for years to come. Do not jump into this process expecting to know all the answers right away. Achieving a certain look can be a bit harder than you might expect.

Check out our portfolio for examples of raised panel and shaker door styles and kitchen designs.

The two most popular door styles in cabinetry are the raised panel and the shaker – style.

Raised panel door:

white_raisedWith a raised center profile and rectangular framing surrounding giving the face a three dimensional look this door will give your kitchen a more traditional feel. The raised panel gives an additional dimension to the cabinet door. Not all raised panels are the same. You may find one with simple frame work around the edges while another boasts a stepped frame for an even greater pop. These door styles will give your new kitchen a unique and timeless look that you can enjoy for years to come.

Shaker Style Door:

White Shaker kitchen cabinetsCan’t decide if you are wanting to go for an industrial look? Or maybe you are leaning towards contemporary? Thinking farmhouse? The shaker style cabinet door is recessed in the middle with rectangular framing surrounding, which offers a number of possibilities. True shaker cabinetry can seem quite plain but this cabinet offers a very practical and clean look that will work great with whatever design and look you choose.

 

This decision can be tough. Cabinets are not like a new shirt that you can just return to the mall the next day. Most of us are ordering cabinets that are being made just for us. This is a big decision. Here are a few questions to ask yourself when deciding on a door style:

  1. -What style am I going for? Traditional? Modern? Rustic?
  2. -Do I want clean lines or ornate details?
  3. -What are the details on the other things in my house? Trim? Doors? Mouldings?
  4. -What added details could make my door selection even better? Glass? Beadboard?

While this process can seem scary it is important not to stress out. Designing your dream kitchen should be fun and exciting. All the details will fall in to place.

Premium Cabinets – Process Walk Through

Stanley called and set up a time to meet with me. We created a design on my computer of what he would need. Once his home was nearing completion we did a site measure and confirmed the measurements. Stanley’s kitchen had two main walls and a center island.

1 – Left side : The left wall holds the double ovens, microwave and an encased refrigerator.

 

1 - Left side of kitchen PLAN1A - Left side of kitchen

 

1B - Left side of kitchen1C - Left side of kitchen

2 – Right side: The right side has a centered sink base and a dishwasher to the right of it. The two uppers are symetrical – they are both 27 inches wide. You can see the three inch gap on the plan and then the three inch gap in the final picture.

 

2 - Right side of kitchen PLAN2A - Right side of kitchen2B - Right side of kitchen ( UPPER TO RIGHT )

3 – Center Island: The center island has a cooktop in the center and a small prep sink. The final cabinet has a functioning drawer. The large pony wall built for the island turned out extremely well.

We designed Stanley’s kitchen with Stanley’s input. We measured once the kitchen was ready to be measured. Stanley placed a down payment and ordered the cabinets. We delivered the cabinetry and Stanley’s homebuilder installed the cabinetry. The process was simple and straight forward. With basic measurements we can create a cad design, parts list and price you out to the penny in any of our styles.

A Country Linen Kitchen You Would Want to Raise Your Family In

Brandi had a vision to have a warm, comfortable kitchen to raise her family and her vision came through with this Country Linen cabinet. She decided a farmhouse sink, an under the counter microwave and prep sink would provide the most functionality to this kitchen. The touch of a wood tile floor, butcher block counter and pressed metal ceiling gives this whole kitchen the country feel that Brandi really wanted. Premium Cabinets St. Louis helped create another beautiful kitchen.

Re-Facing Versus Replacing

10 Reasons to Re-place vs. Re-face

You have grown tired of your old “golden oak “cabinets from 1982. They need to go, but what to do? Re-face or Re-place? Decisions…decisions…decisions…

Maybe you have been told re-facing will be less time and money. Sometimes, that is the case. Sometimes not.

Here are 10 reasons re-placing may be the better option.

  1. Costs as much to reface as replace.
  2. Your 40 year old cabinets are in great shape inside and out. Really?
  3. Paying for labor when you reface, paying for cabinets when you replace
  4. Bigger mess in home during refacing. Trust me on this one.
  5. Many more interior cabinet options today, then when your kitchen was installed.
  6. Fixing problems (leaks, etc.) not just covering them up.
  7. Layout can be changed to reflect current lifestyle, tastes, needs, wants, etc.
  8. And no, it does not necessarily cost more to change your existing bad layout.
  9. More availability of finishes, styles, etc. when you replace.
  10. To summarize; if you could paint your 20 year old car, or buy a new one for the same price, what would you do.

If you need more convincing, go on-line to businesses that do re-facing and read the comments. I have one “mega national chain” on my news feed with some very un-happy clients who opted for re-facing. Many have an issue with veneer peeling off and having to replace old cabinets after all, which costs even more.

At Premium Cabinets, we want to educate our clients, so they can make the best decision for their family, their finances and their life style.  After all we want our clients to always,  “Love where they Live!”

‘A Custom Look Without the Custom Price’

Sleek Transitional Style

in /by

You can have the best of both traditional and contemporary style with cabinetry based on Shaker-style construction. Recessed panels inside flat-face frames boast traditional and contemporary characteristics. These cheery white cabinets set against Carrera tile back splashes capture a vintage flavor, while brushed-nickel rod pulls and handles complimenting stainless-steel appliances push the look toward contemporary. The substantial island underscores the look, with a deep espresso-finish base that tips it hat to both warm traditional and sleek urban styles.

Finishing Touches

Carved legs give cook-tops, sink, and island areas a furniture-like profile, while also supporting the overhanging stone top. Simple drawer pulls and a stained finish that lets the wood grain show through further distinguish the areas from the more standard finished cabinets.
