Common questions
What is the 1-3 rule for cabinets?
The 1-3 rule typically refers to the proportion of drawer base cabinets to standard base cabinets. A common guideline suggests having at least one drawer base for every three standard base cabinets. This provides a good mix of storage types for accessibility.
Where's the cheapest place to buy cabinets?
Finding the most affordable cabinets often involves comparing prices from big-box home improvement stores, online retailers specializing in RTA (ready-to-assemble) options, and local cabinet shops. Direct-to-consumer brands can also offer savings by cutting out middlemen.
What colors make a kitchen look expensive?
Deep, saturated colors like navy blue, forest green, or charcoal grey can lend a sophisticated and high-end feel. Alternatively, crisp white or very light grey cabinetry paired with premium hardware and countertops can create an illusion of luxury.
Which is better, quartz or granite?
Quartz is engineered for consistency and is non-porous, making it highly resistant to stains and scratches. Granite is a natural stone with unique patterns and requires sealing to prevent staining. Both offer excellent durability for kitchen countertops.
What is the downside of granite countertops?
The primary downside of granite countertops is their porous nature. They require periodic sealing to prevent staining from liquids like wine or oil. Granite can also be prone to chipping or cracking if heavy objects are dropped on its edges.
How do New York's building codes affect RTA cabinet installation?
While RTA cabinets themselves aren't typically subject to specific building codes, their installation may need to comply with local regulations, especially concerning plumbing and electrical work. We ensure all aspects of the installation adhere to New York's standards.
