The business owner is also the guy who does the job so he cares about you, the job and your satisfaction. I have worked with several contractors over the years and Rob is indeed one of the best. I am very satisfied with the work he did, the timelines he provided and his free advise on my many other projects. My kitchen went from the ugly 1970's to a modern style kitchen. I can't be more pleased. Oh yes and his price was just right. I have and will recommend Kitchen Refacers to friends and family who want to update their kitchen on a limited budget.

Here are some tips in planning out a kitchen renovation project. Either new, refacing or painting, refinishing.

• Visit other kitchen showrooms and  kitchens that are newly renovated. 
• Layout your kitchen with masking tape to get an idea of cabinet spacing for an island, pantry, larger walking space between cabinets. This will help in determining traffic flow if needed and  required cabinet sizes.
• Appliance sizes using new refrigerators: Attention is needed to the door swing and appliance sizes. What looks nice in the the store is a total different situation in your kitchen. Therefore plan on what the overall size of the fridge is when the doors are open. Also determine door swings  into the traffic areas are important to know.  Will the door be in way when it is open, also will the dishwasher door create a problem in traffic flow when it is down.
• Design with storage in mind:  Every well planned kitchen will have pull-out shelves in base cabinets or pantries, Get every idea on paper to ensure that all storage is properly planned and mapped out. .
• Plan for under mount sinks: With quartz and granite being the number choice for counter tops. An under mount sink will be the best choice with this type of surface. If laminate is your choice then a good quality sink that is 16 gauge. This a thicker more durable sink.

These are just a few ideas. Anyone of these tips will help you when it come to a kitchen renovation project.

 Our cabinet refacing process is a double bond application. This involves applying a laminate backer called phenolic which is 1/32" thick, this is then adhered to a vinyl sheet covering. This material is then glued to your cabinet surfaces which is similar to your laminate counter top process. This is what we call a double bond process. This gives  a better  durable bond then other refacing applications which  is often  used by other companies to save time.  Ask me to give you a sample piece of the material. 

 One question I often receive is how to remove this material from the cabinet. Answer is, you  would have to use a heat gun, or the use of a sharp knife to cut it off.      

 Do it yourself kitchen refinishing and refacing Dartmouth, Halifax  has two parts involved. The first part is the removal of the cabinet doors and drawer fronts. The next step is painting the cabinets to match the new cabinet doors. 

This process is the most cost-effective way to update your kitchen. This can be a diy kitchen cabinet refacing project, which allows the customer to do it yourself kitchen painting. We will provide you with the proper kitchen paint, primer and finishing information. Once the painting is complete we will install new doors with updated concealed hinges. 

 The second option is refacing which involves  applying  new end panels to the cabinet sides and applying veneer or laminate to the exterior facing of the cabinet boxes. The end result is greener because less waste is going into the landfill. We also donate reusable cabinet components to the habitat for humanity. Average refacing takes between 3-5 days based on a 10 x 10 kitchen.
