Kitchen Remodeling in Phoenix: Choosing the Right Contractor

Saturday, July 31st, 2010

You’ve decided your kitchen needs a new look. And why not? When you think of how much of your life is spent in your kitchen - making your morning coffee, seeing the kids off to school, talking with family while making dinner, entertaining guests - the kitchen is the central hub of your home.

Now that you’ve decided on kitchen remodeling in Phoenix to give a new look to your countertops and kitchen cabinets, your first call should be to Republic West. They bring high quality workmanship and materials, and an unparalleled level of honesty and integrity to every job, whether it is for window replacement or kitchen remodeling in Phoenix.

In Phoenix there are dozens of companies that offer “cheap solutions” to renovating your kitchen; the reason for this is the way in which they acquire their materials and workers. Cheaper materials are lower quality and will require replacement much sooner. Sub-contractors will be hired to do your renovation, as the company you signed with found their work bid to be the lowest. Once you have signed the work order, however, it can take months for them to show up at your house to start the project. In the meantime, if their sub-contractor gets higher paying work, they can abandon your kitchen for weeks or months. Stories of this happening are widespread in the industry, and the reason home remodeling gives so many people headaches.

This is not the way Republic West does business, and our customers have always shown their appreciation for it. While the industry standard for receiving repeat and referral business has maintained an average of 4% to 5%, over 50% of Republic West’s business comes from referrals and repeat customers. Our customers always walk away happy with the remodeling experience and the results of our work. But more importantly, they trust Republic West’s ethics. The goal of every quote is to provide the best price for their high quality work. For this, customers receive the highest-quality materials, installed by our own Republic West craftsmen, who will finish the job and return your house to normal faster than some subcontractor you’ve never heard of and never hired yourself.

For a sound investment in kitchen remodeling in Phoenix or resurfacing your counters and kitchen cabinets, the best solution is Republic West.

Choosing a Stainless Steel Sink, Part 3

Saturday, December 19th, 2009

Once you determine the quality and thickness of the sink you should also evaluate the various styles and size of the sink.  Think about your lifestyle and the amount of space you have in your kitchen.  If you have limited space, perhaps a single bowl sink will work best.  If you cook often and have pots and pans to soak, a large single bowl sink may be best.  Double or triple bowl sinks allow a number of people to work at the sink together and are often found in restaurants and bars.

Planning your Arizona kitchen remodeling project

Saturday, September 12th, 2009

Defining your unique needs and wants will help you with your kitchen remodeling project in Arizona. Use these questions to help plan the most efficient kitchen for your lifestyle and cooking habits:

  • How do you currently use your kitchen?
  • How would you like to use your kitchen?
  • What type of pots and pans do you own? (You won’t want to buy a 14,000 BTU commercial range if you have pots and pans from a discount store.)
  • How do you prepare a meal? Do you use every pot and pan in the kitchen or do you simply tear open a box and toss it into the microwave?
  • On average, how many cooks use the kitchen at one time? (If you have multiple cooks in the kitchen, you may want to create separate work zones for more efficient use of the space.)
  • Are you a baker who would benefit from a lower counter or island? Do you require a fair amount of counter space for kneading and rolling out pie crusts and pastries?
  • How do you shop? If you buy in bulk, do you have enough storage space?
  • Is there a certain style cuisine you prepare that requires storage for special ingredients, such as varying sizes of pasta or exotic spices and oils, or storage for specialized utensils?
  • Do you enjoy cooking or is your kitchen more a gathering place than a gourmet retreat?
  • If it is a gathering spot, is there room for family or friends who are not involved in the meal preparation? Is that space convenient and comfortable for everyone?
  • Would a family desk be helpful in this space? If so, would you like a computer to be included?
  • Do you have children or teens that will be using the kitchen? If so, would it be helpful to have a separate area in the kitchen dedicated to sodas and snack preparation?
  • Have you taken safety issues into consideration? (This would apply not only to children in the kitchen, but also to elderly family members. Would some universally designed features such as multiple counter heights be helpful? Would an oven with a lock-out feature, to prevent use while you are away, ease your mind? Think about other safety concerns keeping your particular family composition and capabilities in mind.)
  • Is the lighting in the room sufficient? Do you need additional task lighting or more light in general?
  • Does your family eat together often? If so, do you want an eat-in kitchen? How many would you need to seat? Do you have enough room for all of them?
  • Do you entertain? How often? Do you prepare the meals yourself or do you have them catered?
