Are You Planning to Remodel Your Kitchen in the NJ Area?
The idea of a new kitchen can be very appealing, especially as we kick off the new year. As winter melts into spring, many a homeowner walks into their kitchen in the morning, looks around, and finally concedes – this will be the year to do something about those cluttered countertops and dusty, old, wood cabinets. Yes, you could paint, and that could turn out very nice, but it is a fair amount of work to do it right, and best done professionally. Maybe what you really need is a new layout. But where to start? If you get to a point of frustration when thinking about your kitchen, or even excitement because you’re ready to begin, the best next step is to go in person to a showroom. And while a lot of big box stores have cabinets on display, if you really want to get inspiration and fully plan your kitchen, consider skipping the lower-end or bargain brands you’ll find at chain retailers. You will be surprised at how affordable custom or semi-custom cabinets are, but one of the best perks is that they look great, last a lifetime, and the installation, when done correctly, will look professional and intuitive. So before you rule out the deluxe option, or what is often perceived as the more expensive route, read on to learn more about your local supplier for custom/semi-custom kitchens can actually be the better option for both you and your wallet.
Visiting Your Local New Jersey Kitchen Cabinets Showroom
If you are planning to revamp your kitchen and live in New Jersey or the New York metropolitan area, you should consider stopping by one of our four showrooms located in Wayne, Livingston, Toms River, or West Long Branch. Why bother coming to a showroom when you could order an entire kitchen from the comfort of your cell phone, you ask?
Not only will you have access to a free design planner (see below on Planning Your Kitchen: Getting a Free Design on why this perk is so beneficial), but you can touch each cabinet personally. See the shine of the wood in the light, run your fingers across that quartz countertop, mull over drawers versus doors for your base cabinets, and answer that question of dark wood versus light wood – all of this is best done in person.
But most of all, you will be in a mindset to make a decision that should be ruminated upon, considered carefully, and tested in real-time. People who take the time to visit a showroom and plan out their kitchen, making sure to talk with qualified designers and experts will find that they make better decisions about how to refresh or build a kitchen and they rarely run into common mistakes, such as mismeasuring, poor placement, or awkward layouts. In short, you’ll avoid that buyer’s remorse when you plan your kitchen the old-fashioned way – in person and with careful consideration.
Planning Your Kitchen: Getting a Free Kitchen Design
There’s a lot of planning and considerations that go into making a kitchen space. With professional kitchen design, you’ll be able to take full advantage of your space in ways you’d never previously considered. Whether it’s squeezing in an extra upper cabinet, realizing your room would be perfect with an island, or going back and forth between a single-well or double-well sink, you never really know until you sit down with a professional who has built out thousands of designs. Not only that, but our designers really know our brands. While you’re just getting to know our cabinet or countertop offerings, a designer can steer you in the right direction. They can easily recognize when to swap out one cabinet for a better one based on your needs. They’ll know the options like the back of their hand, and they even have a great sensibility when it comes to making a beautiful layout.
Saving Money By Ordering Cabinets Online?
You can potentially save money if you buy Big Box Store cabinets, either online or in person, however, there are a lot of caveats that many people are not aware of when they first start the process of planning their kitchen and it may cost a lot more than just dollars. Chain stores generally sell prefabricated cabinets, and by nature, these are imperfect. They may not fit your kitchen in an ideal way, forcing you to compromise on design and on how you use the space. You may also be unable to inspect the product in person until it’s already in your kitchen, often installed by a third-party contractor who takes the install job as the lowest bidder. Quality control is often abysmal in these situations. And while some chains do have kitchen consultants that can generate your kitchen via 3D planning software, these results vary. Want to put it to the test? Go to any of these stores, speak to at least two different people, and see the variation in not only your kitchen design but in how things line up. Do the measurements vary slightly? Are the cabinets you’re recommended so varied that you find yourself torn between different parts of the design? Do you have the sinking feeling that you forgot to measure for a door frame or a garbage disposal, and now the installer might potentially not be able to put in all your cabinets, due to how the installation disclaimer works? These are all very real scenarios, so you might not have saved as much as you initially set out to while you end up with a less than stellar end result.
It’s also worth mentioning that at our cabinets showrooms, you can purchase your cabinets through no-interest financing, an option that is rarely available if you visit one of the large hardware or chain furniture retail stores.
