If you are remodeling the kitchen or bath in your Fort Myers home or designing from scratch, Sunrise Remodeling’s custom cabinetry services can help you get the most for your money.
Sunrise Remodeling has been remodeling homes for over 14 years and is the leading remodeling company in Southwest Florida.
Our specialties are kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, cabinet remodeling, and custom Travertine countertops and floors.
We have earned our customers’ trust by providing consistent, high-quality service, and bringing their projects in on time and on budget. Our vast experience with custom projects makes us your best alternative to less experienced remodelers.
Although installing custom cabinets will give you the most options and your design will be completely unique to your home, they can consume a big part of your total remodeling budget.
There are other options that can provide a custom look without the custom price.
It’s possible to get all of the features and styles you want by simply refacing the old cabinets, and it’s far more cost-effective. Refacing is a great option when you’re happy with the layout of your kitchen or bathroom and have no plans to knock out walls and move things around.
Refacing is practical if your existing cabinet boxes are structurally sound and in good condition. Cabinets with water damage, warping, and broken frames should not be refaced.
When you get ready to choose cabinets, we offer these money-saving tips.
Wood or Veneer
If you want solid wood cabinets, consider sturdy but less expensive options. Hickory, alder and maple are typically cheaper than oak and cherry cabinets, while walnut cabinets tend to be the most expensive. To make your money go further, consider solid wood cabinet doors with veneer center panels. To the naked eye, most people can’t tell the difference between veneers and solid wood.
Stock, Semi-Custom or Custom
Unless you want some unusual features or design elements, semi-custom cabinets may provide the best option. They are manufactured in stock sizes, but you’ll have some flexibility to alter some of the dimensions, such as width, depth or height, to fit your design.
The available options may not be the same as craftsman-quality, custom made cabinets, but you’ll get a better grade of cabinets. Just be careful not to drive up the price by making too many changes.
Go Larger
You may be able to save money by eliminating cabinets you don’t really need. Instead of a cabinet around the refrigerator, for example, consider opting for a wall decorated with tiles that match your kitchen backsplash. In the kitchen or the bathroom, it may be more cost effective to choose a smaller number of larger cabinets than a lot of smaller ones.
Hardware Options
Another area where you may be able to save some money is on hardware. Metals vary drastically in price, so keep an open mind and comparison shop. The cabinet hardware may also be less expensive if you purchase it online instead of from the cabinet manufacturer.
