Budget Friendly Kitchens and Baths

Our budget friendly kitchen and bathrooms are designed for simplicity and longevity with minimal investment and maintenance. Since many of our customers are property management companies or rental owners, we keep our designs simple and maintainable with typically in-stock quality products we can provide with quick turnover times.

KITCHENS


We use IKEA Sektion kitchen cabinets and laminate countertops for our budget kitchens for the following reasons:

  • Cabinets are typically in-stock
  • Cabinets and hardware are well constructed and feature durable soft-closing Blum hardware for both drawers and doors.
  • We can easily custom modify these cabinets for any use such as bath vanities, custom closet built ins, over-the-john cabinets, etc.
  • Replacement parts are easy to source and cheap to purchase if damaged.
  • We can often replace an entire kitchen including demolishing the old kitchen, installing new cabinets, plumbing and countertops in 2-3 days from time of order.


Why do our kitchens last?


We see rental properties daily and are very familiar with common fail points. As a result, we ensure the following with every install:


  • Cabinets are installed perfectly level with a laser level and doors/drawers are adjusted correctly to avoid rubbing and interference.
  • Laminate countertops are installed with factory edges meeting factory edges at corner intersections avoiding common problem of swelling at mitre seams. 
  • All cuts for sinks and faucets in the laminate countertop are sealed to avoid future water damage and swelling
  • The underside of laminate countertops are sealed above the dishwasher to avoid steam damage common in laminate installations.
  • All of our plumbing is professionally completed and thoroughly leak tested to ensure no damage occurs to the new cabinetry. Working shut off valves under the sink are always included as are Moen faucets. 

BATHROOMS


We generally encourage 4 piece acrylic bath tub/surround units be installed during a bath renovation but we also install large format tile surrounds with acrylic tubs.


Our MAAX 4 piece acrylic surrounds are sturdy, typically in-stock and very low maintenance. We can replace a typical tub/tile surround with an Acrylic tub/surround and new Moen Shower valve/trims in 2 days and full bathroom renovations in 2-3 days. We typically trim around the flange of the acrylic unit with PVC trim to avoid any potential water damage issues.


We generally install floating or glue down vinyl tile flooring in our bathrooms and recommend basic 2 piece single flush toilets. 


We can match cabinets and countertops to our Budget kitchens or install vanity cabinet/top combos with integrated sinks.
