Avoid These Common Remodeling Mistakes

January 20th, 2012

All too often, visions of a dream kitchen turn into a nightmare. Following are the top 5 mistakes and how you can avoid them.

  1. Ripping out the kitchen too early. If you plan to use semi-custom cabinets, they are made to order and usually take 4 to 6 weeks to receive. If you rip out the kitchen before ordering, you will be without a kitchen for more than a month before you ever receive your cabinets. The best way to ensure that you are out of your kitchen the least amount of time is to wait until your cabinets are received before tearing out old kitchen cabinets. That way you can ensure that you have all of your cabinets and they are in good condition before and ready to install before tearing out the old cabinets. You can order semi-custom kitchen cabinets online at USHomeProducts
  2. Measuring your space improperly can cause major headaches. Once semi-custom cabinets are manufactured for you, they can’t be returned. If you’ve measured improperly, then you’ll have to either make the cabinets that you have work, or order additional cabinets (at an additional expense). You can find step-by-step instructions on USHomeProducts under Design Tips. You can also use the free online planner after registering on the site.
  3. Remember, it’s a kitchen that you will be using every day. Make it functional! All too often, narrow walkways, inconvenient door swings and poor island locations can really interrupt the flow of your work space. Be sure to create a work triangle between the stove, sink and refrigerator and keep all walkways at least 36 inches wide. Make sure that no entry, appliance or cabinet door will interfere with another.
  4. Lack of counter space and storage are two big complaints. Plan accordingly. You can save counter space by installing appliances under cabinets or counters. A microwave can be installed above the stove or a drawer-type microwave can be installed in a cabinet under the counter. Be sure to plan outlets for countertop appliances. Storage is what cabinets are all about and pantry organizers and other accessories can help organize your stuff while making it easily accessible. For design ideas, see our customer Testimonials page.
  5. Keep an eye on your budget. The cost of the kitchen should not exceed 20 percent of the value of the home.  Be prepared for unexpected expenses. As with all remodeling projects, you can’t anticipate every expense. Cabinet prices can vary widely based on type of wood, door style and glazes. You can price out the cost of cabinets online at  USHomeProducts.

Don’t Be Fooled by “Built in the USA”

October 19th, 2010

When companies claim that their cabinets are “built in America,” most people assume that means that they are manufactured in America. This is not necessarily the case. Often, less expensive ready-to-assemble cabinets that are produced overseas are then assembled in the United States, carrying with them the tag line “built in the USA.”

This claim is not inaccurate, but it is certainly misleading. Both Marsh/High Point and Mid Continent Cabinetry are manufactured in the United States. Each cabinet is manufactured specifically for the customer who has ordered it. All cabinets are assembled at the factory.

You also need to be aware that “all wood” does not necessarily mean furniture-grade wood, such as that used on higher-quality cabinet doors. Generally, the less expensive ready-to-assemble cabinets that are produced overseas are made from lesser grade plywood and covered in a veneer. While they may be “all wood,” that doesn’t mean that they are better quality.

Most assembled cabinets manufactured in the United States are made from particle board, with wood doors. Upgrades are available for “all plywood” construction. Currently we are offering plywood construction on Mid Continent Cabinetry at no additional charge. If you want plywood, we have the option for you.

Whether you go with ready-to-assemble cabinets manufactured overseas, or assembled cabinets built in the United States, it’s important to know what you are getting. US Home Products offers both ready-to-assemble and assembled cabinets with detailed information about both.
