Frequently Asked Questions

What kind is the most popular kitchen backsplash?

A modern kitchen will look best with a fully-heightened backsplash. A subway tile backsplash will be a good option if you want something a little more traditional. A brick or stone backsplash is a good choice for those who want something more rustic. It comes down ultimately to personal preference and what best fits your kitchen.

What makes a kitchen backsplash timeless?

Subway tile backsplashes are timeless. For your kitchen, however, we recommend a full-height backsplash. This would be the countertop being used as a backsplash that extends to the bottom of the upper cabinets. This creates the illusion of a larger kitchen.

What countertop is best paired with white kitchen cabinets

If you choose a white kitchen, your countertop can be bold. Quartz countertops have become the standard in kitchen design. These are our top choices for quartz countertops to match white kitchens.

Are open-concept kitchens on the decline?

Open-concept kitchens are still popular because they offer a modern look while allowing easy access to all kitchen areas. For many reasons, homeowners are returning to traditional kitchen designs.

Open-concept cooking can be very noisy. A second reason is the difficulty in keeping a clean open-concept space tidy due to all of the dust and cooking gasses that circulate throughout.

Families who like to cook together love open-plan kitchens. However, they can be a hassle if your kids like to get messy in the kitchen and won't listen to you. Consider all pros and cons when you are considering an open-concept design.

Vancouver's climate is white-colored kitchens an option?

Vancouver homeowners love white kitchens. It brightens up the space, and gives it a modern look. However, since we don't get a lot of sunshine in Metro Vancouver, it's best to incorporate natural elements such as wood to bring as much warmth as possible into your space.

How To

How to select a kitchen renovation contractor

The following tips should help you make a good decision when choosing a Kitchen Remodel contractor.

Ask around and find out what your friends think about their experiences with different contractors. It is a great place to get honest feedback, especially from people who know the contractors. Ask them questions about the workmanship, professionalism and cleanliness of their contractors. You might also ask them about any problems they had with the contractor. If so, how did they resolve those issues?
Contact several companies and request quotes for your project. Prepare to give a detailed description and why you are hiring someone else. You can also tell them that you are looking for someone who is skilled in kitchen remodeling. You can also include details about the size of the room, the type of materials used, etc. It is important to specify the type of finish that you are looking for (e.g., countertops or cabinets, backsplash, flooring). Don't forget to mention anything specific that you would like done during the project. You might want to install new appliances. Do you want a particular style of cabinetry? Is there something you'd like to see in your cabinetry, like a built-in wine fridge or microwave oven?
Find out whether the company has insurance and worker's compensation coverage. Online searches will reveal if there are any trade associations. It's always best to go with a company that is part of a reputable organization.
Talk to the contractor about your project. Ask them about their qualifications, experience, and methods. Find out how they approach your project and what type of timeline they plan to use.
Ask previous clients for references. Don't take a contractor's word for it. Ask for references. Call the recommended people from his reference list. You can reach them by calling the people he recommends.
You can see past customer reviews on sites such as Yelp, Angie's List and Houzz. Many homeowners use these websites to leave reviews after completing projects. If you see positive reviews, it is likely that you will get a high-quality job.
Hire a kitchen designer to help you plan your kitchen remodel. A professional designer will know what looks best in your kitchen. Designers will also be up-to-date on the latest trends in kitchens.
