Definitions of   Kitchen Upgrades or Make-Overs

    - A Remodel Project is usually where you are moving walls, or doing major changes like re-wiring or new plumbing. Kitchens Made New doesn't get into those bigger jobs, but we work with General Contractors that we highly recommend. For smaller Remodel jobs like adding new cabinets, or removing old cabinets, or even replacing all of your kitchen cabinets, we are very comfortable doing those projects and have a great reputation for going the "extra mile" to make a great impression and of course, a happy customer.

    - A Reface Project is usually replacing your cabinet doors, drawer fronts and replacing the face-frames that the doors close against. Now, some of our competitors put "stickers" or veneer  which will often "chip" because of the exposed edges. We do the reface the right way.

    - A Refinish / Resurface / Refurbish Project is usually removing the old finish and putting on a new improved finish. The best way to do this is to "sand" off the old finish, sometimes called resurfacing or refurbishing, but it should almost never include "stripping" the old finish off with chemicals. It is usually not a good idea to put any liquid on a cabinet or cabinet door that might "soak" into the wood, and later with an increase in temperature, rise to the surface and "break-down" your nice new finish.

    - A Restoration / Renew / Enhance Project is usually done by putting a new finish "on top of" your old finish and with little or no "sanding." This "no sanding" method is actually touted as a "benefit", when in reality, it is usually not a good idea to put a finish on top of or "binding" onto your old finish because it is then dependent upon the bonding strength of your old finish and that is usually the very reason you are wanting a new finish...pealing, fading or just plain worn out.
