Frequently Asked Questions
Answers & Guidance
What should I pick first?
We recommend starting with your appliances. This way, we can design around those choices. Knowing if you are getting a double oven, over the counter hood, or a drawer microwave, impacts the kitchen layout significantly.
We also recommend going to a store that specializes in kitchen appliances for best advice and service, such as Appliance World. Going to a big box retailer will not compare.
Do you offer financing?
Yes, we do. We are able to find out in minutes, in most cases, what financing options are available to you.
What is the easiest stone to maintain?
The stone that requires the least amount of maintenance is quartz. Quartz does not need to be sealed, like natural stones, due to the way it is engineered. Quartz is also non-porous which makes it stain and scratch resistant. Quartz, like anything else, comes in all different styles and colors, and can fit into most any budget.
