Our clients in the Heights area knew the time had come for a kitchen remodel. They also knew to call TriFection, given the success of a previous bathroom remodel at their home. We had developed a very comfortable working relationship, and they trusted our design skills and craftsmanship.
Cabinet Refacing Is Great, But Not Right for This Project
These folks initially believed that cabinet refacing would represent a desirable upgrade for their kitchen. While cabinet refacing is a smart, economical choice in many cases, it was not the right solution here. As we discussed their motivations for remodeling, we learned two key things. First, the layout of cabinets needed to change. Second, they did not like their existing countertops.
Cabinet refacing makes the most sense when the existing cabinet layout still works well but the look needs to change. And, refacing allows homeowners to avoid replacing existing countertops they like. In this instance, our clients wanted a more open kitchen and more countertop space. So, together we concluded that new custom cabinets and countertops would be the best solution.
Kitchen Style to Call Their Own
Our clients are experienced world travelers and collectors of fine art. Their tastes are unique and very fitting of their personalities. Working with a true custom remodeling company like TriFection allowed them to pick every detail without limitations. We began with the selection of solid oak custom cabinets with Shaker style fronts. The stain color would be Sugar Maple.
For new countertops, our clients chose beautiful slabs of River Bourdeaux Satin granite. This material features eye-catching movement with lots of natural character. The Reside Brown semi-polished backsplash tile served as a terrific complement. We protected and preserved the nicely aged hardwood floors. A Cargo Pants paint color from Sherwin Williams adorned the walls as the final selection.
Another Perfect Fit
The new kitchen looks great, and our clients are very pleased. Now, both the kitchen and master bath have become very personalized spaces. No guest will ever question whether our clients picked everything they wanted. The house truly fits who they are. At TriFection, that is our team’s mission on every project, and we are so proud to deliver!
