OK to Update Cabinets After Countertop, Says The Kitchen Taylor
Posted by Laura Nelson on August 1, 2010
Yes, says Dennis Taylor, owner of the Kitchen Taylor, it’s possible to update cabinetry after you’ve installed a new granite countertop. The best option, according to Taylor, is to reface the cabinets.
“Refacing sometimes has a bad connotation it doesn’t deserve,” says Taylor. A quality job done by experienced professionals can result in a job that has a custom look. But the final outcome depends on the craftsmen doing the work.
A refacing job means changing the door and drawer fronts, while keeping the rest of the cabinets intact. Taylor says he can alter the size and finish of the fronts–making them complete overlays, which is a custom design feature.
“When we finish a job, you can only tell it’s not custom by opening the cabinets. Together John and I have more than 50 years experience and have 8,000 satisfied customers in Kitchen Taylor’s 34 years,” says Taylor.
Beware, says Taylor, of signing on for a remodel with a big box store. While they have a big name, they hire independent contractors to do the work. The job may be done by a pro–or a novice.
