Cupboard Renovation FAQ: What You Should Be Asking

Most people, before starting a new home renovation, have a lot of questions. From what materials to use, and how to prepare for the project, to what needs to be done exactly. Ideal Renovations is here to clear up any confusion. In this blog, we answer a few frequently asked questions about doing a custom cupboard renovation. 

Why choose Custom Cabinets?

Having custom cupboards in a home is part of the investment as well as one of the most visible aspects of a finished project. It will increase the value of a home and it allows one to have their own style and design incorporated into their home, making it that much more comfortable. 

How long will the renovation take?

This is a question that is often difficult to answer for any good renovator. They will tell their client that it will take as long as it takes to do the job right and to do it well. However, you should be able to get a good idea of whether the job will take 2 weeks or 5 weeks based on the initial design.

What materials will be used?

Ask the contractor about the materials that are going to be used to make the cupboards. Make sure that the material they use is high-quality and durable.

Will the design fit the budget?

Budgets are always something to discuss beforehand because many factors contribute towards it. Factors such as materials used, layout, and size of the space.

No matter how many price comparisons are done, only the one renovating the cupboards will know for sure how much the design is going to cost. To avoid disappointment discuss the budget with the designer as well as the renovator.

Ideal Renovations will always strive to get the best value for the highest quality designs.

What layout options will be made available?

Consider the measurements of the room the cupboards are being renovated for, as well as the other additions within the room. Then, ask the renovator about layout options. They will be able to say which layouts will work best based on the aforementioned information.

What type of finishes should be considered?

Before the renovations begin, it’s important to ask about finishings. Whether opting for paint or stain, consider discussing the care of the cupboards.

Can samples be viewed?

If looking for something specific, it’s perfectly okay to ask your cupboard designer if they have any similar samples from previous projects. 

For many renovation projects, the difference between having many setbacks and success is a well-thought-out and thoroughly detailed plan. If there are still questions that need to be answered don’t hesitate to contact us and we can discuss them directly through a phone call or visit.
