Consumer Reports
In a recent report they compared consumers experiences remodeling kitchens with the
help of home centers vs. independent dealers. Consumers responded that the level of competency
at independent Dealers (Like Amoroso Cabinets) resulted in a higher level of satisfaction with
the entire remodel experience and they were happier with the finished product.
Home Centers vs. Amoroso Cabinets
With a combined 60 years of experience, our staff is well qualified to handle any project
you can dream up. The Home Centers notoriously staff themselves with less experienced and
low paid workers. For you that translates to poor design, delayed project completion,
and excess costs.
Additionally, our comfortable showroom is much more suitable environment to organize your
cabinetry project. No loud shopping carts and constant interruptions from other patrons milling
about.
Refacing vs. Replacing
The age old question whether to replace or reface is often asked by clients.
Refacing involves removing and replacing the doors and drawer fronts in your existing
kitchen and laminating a plastic or wood covering over the cabinet boxes.
But, it's important to remember that the least expensive part of the cabinet is the box itself.
So,often times it makes sense to replace because of all the benefits associated with new cabinets.
There are new storage solutions,improvements in configuration and work flow, adding an island or new seating
area and of course smooth drawers and no sagging shelves. Here are some questions to answer when considering your decision.
1. Are you happy with the layout of the existing kitchen?
2. Are you replacing appliances or do you have your eye on a different size or configuration
of appliances?
3. Are you replacing floors such that a new layout or island shape can be considered?
4. Are you replacing the countertops?
5. Are there soffits or drop ceilings that you would like removed?
6. Are the existing cabinet boxes in good condition? (solid sides, shelves not bowed,drawer runners
and drawer boxes clean and operational)
Once you have answered those questions, a determination can be made whether it is economically feasible to
replace the cabinets.
