Whether you are looking for new cabinets for your kitchen, bathroom or laundry room you may have noticed that the possibilities are endless. You can choose custom cabinetry by having a designer help you select exactly which size, shape and style you want in each area of your home. Going with the custom route you are sure to get exactly what you want. As custom cabinetry can often be the most expensive route, you have a few alternatives. There are many stores that sell prefabricated cabinets and you might be surprised by the amount of selection you have to choose from. If it is a Lazy Susan you are looking for to go in the left corner of your kitchen and a narrow cabinet to sit next to your oven – there are plenty of prefabricated cabinets to choose from. Corvus Construction works with a variety of suppliers to get you just want you are looking for.

A few things you will want to consider before making the selection for your new cabinetry:
If you are remodeling your kitchen you will want to keep in mind that on average the cabinetry can take up to 60% of the budget. This might seem like a lot but keep in mind that your cabinets are often the first thing you notice in a kitchen. Waiting until the last minute to decide on your cabinet selection could make or break your remodel.

The cabinets you select for you bathroom or kitchen can really set the tone for your new space. Make sure you consider style, color and functionality before making your decision.

How to select your cabinets:
Decide if you want to go with a wood or a laminate finish.
If selecting wood; ask how the finish is achieved; which process was used – sanding, staining, hand-wipe staining and finish coating.
Selecting your hardware; which finish are you looking for? This can also determine the overall look and feel of the room.

Selecting the right cabinetry for your remodel can be overwhelming. Making a few decisions before hand can help make this process a bit easier. It is always a good idea to consult a professional when making a big decisions for your home. Cabinets come with all sorts of pieces and if one is missing it can delay the project by weeks. If you are missing a portion of your cabinets you will not be able to install the countertops and with out countertops the sink can not be installed.

There is one alternative to gutting your current cabinets and still getting the new look and feel to your space. You could have your cabinets refinished. To do this you will need a good base to work from. If you already like the location of your cabinets and you are just looking for a “face lift”, then you might want to consider having your cabinets refinished.
