Remember These Words: Don’t Replace, Reface

By Fran Savage,

Those are good words to remember especially when you want your home to be up-to-date and modern. Refacing is easier and less expensive. As you stand and admire your completely new kitchen, you won’t be able to tell the difference between the refaced and new cabinets. You can do a little of both, because both work well. Replace the old worn-out cabinets, and the workable ones can simply be refaced. Sound too good to be true? The Kitchen Specialists does that every day, and the results are incredible. Many people would rather pack up and move rather than remodel any part of their home. They’ve heard horror stories. They’ve heard how it takes months to complete the work and in the meantime they’re left without a kitchen and/or bathroom. The Kitchen Specialists pride themselves on completing most full kitchen remodels in 1–2 weeks. The easiest and fastest way to eliminate many of the problems is to find a reputable contractor. The Kitchen Specialists is a local contractor and has built its business on customer satisfaction for close to twenty years. You can visit the showroom at 1942 North I Street, south of Highland Avenue and next to Crest Chevrolet in San Bernardino. The showroom has numerous samples and mock-up kitchens. There are before and after pictures of kitchens and bathrooms that will make your selections easier. Whether your job is small or large, the Kitchen Specialists can handle it from start to finish. They do it all without the use of subs because all of the professionals working in your home are under the umbrella of The Kitchen Specialists. From the first time The Kitchen Specialists’ estimator walks into your home you’ll know he or she is prepared to give you a fair price. The next step: the office will call to set up the appointment for the contractor to come to make precise measurements. He draws up a rough draft for your approval, and he also will give you an approximate time when your project will begin and end. He fills out a Blueprint Checklist that answers most questions people have. The Kitchen Specialists has built the business on satisfied customers. They are licensed, bonded, and insured, and will complete your job from start to finish. They offer you new or refaced kitchen or bathroom cabinets, countertops, matching or contrasting splash, new lighting, flooring, drywall, new windows, entertainment centers, and they will even provide plumbers and electricians to get the job done correctly and in a timely manner. The showroom has regular hours with no voice recordings during business hours. They are a one-stop shop, have state of the art CNC machinery, and are a family-oriented business. They strive to keep their customers informed. A word of advice for the inexperienced homeowner: Stop and consider exactly what you want in your kitchen. You’ll definitely want an established business. Don’t pick someone who works out of his garage or a fly-by-night operation. They should have printed contracts with everything spelled out including beginning and approximate ending dates. And don’t ever pay a contractor in full at the time you sign on that dotted line. Make that call today at 909-882-6543 and you won’t be sorry.
