So you are Renovating your home....
One of the most common questions we are presented with is, "How long will it take?"
    4 - 6 Weeks: from signing of contract until kitchen is produced (Note, delivery times may vary)

    3 - 10 Working Days: for complete installation of kitchen (varies with size and complexity of job)

    3 - 7 Working Days: for manufacturing of counter tops after cabinets are installed

    Our installers will do their best to minimize disruptions to your household, but remember that your kitchen will be

    a construction site during installation! Please be prepared to make alternate plans for food preparation during installation.

There are several things you can keep in mind to make the job go smoothly.

BEFORE THE KITCHEN LAYOUT IS DESIGNED:

To properly design your kitchen the designer requires precise details of any planned changes that will affect the cabinet layout:

  • Replacement, removal or relocation of windows, doors or walls
  • Replacement or relocation of appliances
  • Specifications are required for all appliances including sizes, cut-out sizes for built-ins, required clearances for gas
    ranges and any other pertinent information
  • Relocation or changes to plumbing, heating or electrical
  • Type of floor covering. Hardwood or ceramic tile may be up to an inch thick which could be significant in the design
    of the kitchen

WHAT THE CUSTOMER SHOULD DO BEFORE THE INSTALLER ARRIVES:

 Old cabinets should be removed prior to arrival of new cabinets:
  • If we are doing the removal of the existing cabinets then all items must be removed from the cabinets and counter
    tops before the installer arrives
  • If you plan to reuse or sell the old cabinets you must make it clear to the salesperson before a price is quoted if you
    intend to save the cabinets since it will be much more time consuming for the installer to disassemble some cabinets

If floor covering is being replaced:
  • Old floor covering should be removed and a new sub floor installed prior to cabinets installation
  • Vinyl floor covering or pre-finished hardwood flooring should not be installed until after cabinet and counter top installation
  • Unfinished hardwood flooring can be installed before the cabinets but should not be sanded or finished
  • Be sure the installer is aware of what type of floor covering is being installed so the installer can make allowances
    if necessary
Modifications to plumbing and electrical lines must be completed before cabinets are installed:
  • Existing plumbing should be capped 4" - 5" from the wall

Replacement, relocation or removal of windows, doors and walls should be complete. Wall repair and ceiling repair should be completed before cabinet installation but the finish coat of paint should be applied after the installation of cabinets and counter tops to avoid damage:
  • The installer will exercise utmost care when doing his job but minor touch-ups by the homeowner may be required

All furniture and accessories should be removed from the room prior to arrival of the installer. If they cannot be removed prior they should be covered for protection.

Appliances must be removed from the room.
