If there is a room more valuable to a home than the kitchen, Phil Anderson hasnt found it.

The owner of Cut Above Wood Designs in Niles has been remodeling kitchens with his company for the past 15 years.

It started as a one-man operation doing mostly kitchen refacing, but has since grown to five employees specializing in high-end kitchen redesigns.

Anderson also does entertainment centers, furniture, mantles, bookcases and countertops.

For Anderson, having a quality kitchen is very important.

Not only has the kitchen become a gathering spot for the family, its also a major factor in the resale value of a home, Anderson said.

Remodeling a kitchen can be an expensive undertaking. Anderson said his companys remodeling jobs average between $10,000 to $15,000, with moderate remodeling jobs falling between $10,000 and $12,000.

It can fluctuate a lot depending on several things, from what style you are looking for to the size of the kitchen, Anderson said.
