Gilbert Kitchen Remodels | Remodeling a Kitchen Paradise Valley

If you’re thinking of remodeling your kitchen in Arizona, it is important to stay within your budget and have an appropriate plan before beginning. The most expensive part with any Paradise Valley kitchen remodel will be the kitchen cabinets. Keep in mind the different cabinet types, as well as the option of refacing instead of replacing.

Keeping Existing Cabinets

When your cabinets are still in great condition, it may be best to keep them and just restain or repaint them. This will save you the most amount of money, and is generally used when the remodeled kitchen is putting more emphasis on new countertops or flooring. The cabinets are then restained or painted, or even refaced to match the new additions.

Keep in mind that when refacing kitchen cabinet, 60-70% of the cost of the cabinet is in the doors. If you are going to be refacing too much, it may be best to look at the next option, new custom, semi-custom, or stock cabinetry.

Custom, Semi-Custom, and Stock Cabinetry

Custom cabinets are made exactly how you want them. Wood types, finishes, and cabinet accessories will all be custom chose how you like. In turn, this will be the most expensive option of the three.

Semi-Custom cabinets can be adjusted to your kitchen’s specific size requirements, but may require spacers to fit. The wood types and finishes will not be as broad as custom cabinetry, the price will be lower.

Stock cabinetry, also known as modular cabinetry, is the least expensive of the three. Because stock cabinets in Phoenix are mass-produced, they may not fit in your kitchen exactly how you wanted. However, don’t let the word stock get you down. Many of these cabinets are still made of quality, real solid wood and will look great in your kitchen.

Kitchen Cabinet Accessories

Whether you’re refacing or replacing kitchen cabinets, you’ll still be able to add accessories. These may include pull-out pots and pans drawers, a lazy Susan, spice racks, or special pull-out cabinets for garbage cans. Don’t forget to add special custom hardware, like handles and knobs, to make your dream kitchen remodel a reality!
