Remember to shoot before photos.
After you place your order, youll have a few weeks before your KR kit arrives. Before you do anything, its fun toshoot before photos of your kitchen.Make a note of the location you shoot from, so you can shoot similar photos after youre finished installing your KR kit. See our customer reviews page for some examples.
Old cabinet doors come down easily. In most cases drawer fronts are removed from the drawer boxes by simply backing out a few screws.If youre applying our PSA veneers, youll clean and lightly sand the face frames in preparation.
Youll notice we often refer to the veneer as PSA. Pressure Sensitive Adhesive is a very advanced glue that is already on the wood veneer. The usual procedure is to rough cut the pieces, then peel the backing paper and apply the veneer to the face frame. After it is in place, it can be trimmed with a utility knife, carefully following the edge of the face frame.
The PSA veener is relatively easy to install, but it is admittedly the most difficult part of the installation. An even simpler method is to convert to larger overhangs on doors and drawers, in order to hide as much of the face frame as possible. The reaveal of the face frame, when doors are closed, becomes so small that it is negligible. The nice thing about this approach is that its not a compromise, but actually adheres to trends in cabinet design and your kitchen will look more current. With this approach, you simply paint the face frame with a paint color that matches your new doors finish. Painting the face frame is much easier and can result in a final project that is just as attractive as the real wood veneer.
The doors are already drilled for hinges, which will be included but not installed on the door, if you added them in your order. Fasten the hinges on the door, then hold the door in the opening while you attach the door to the cabinet. Drawer fronts are handled one of two ways depending on the style of drawer boxes. See the video and the drawer details on our install page.
Youre finished. Step back and admire your work. Time toshoot your after photos,write a quick couple of paragraphs about your KitchenReface project and email them to us, so we can post your review for others to see.

The first time you walked into the kitchen of your home, there's no doubt you had an immediate opinion about the cabinets. Given that you're reading this article, chances are you weren't crazy about them. Kitchen cabinets must be functional, but they should also look great and, in a perfect world, fit with your home's dcor. They're an important focal point.
But before you embark on the expensive task of replacing your kitchen cabinets, which can cost $30,000 or more depending on materials and the size of your kitchen, be sure to also consider the possibility of refacing them.
No matter what you think of your kitchen cabinets' aesthetics, don't toss them out without assessing their durability and functionality. Not only is that ecologically irresponsible, it's financially foolish. Older cabinets, in many cases, are better built than cabinets you can buy new. Refacing allows you to transform perfectly good, but unattractive cabinets by adding new door and drawer fronts and door hardware. Exposed cabinet faces are covered.
Refacing cabinets can cost as little as $3,000 for a basic job and as much as $10,000 or more. The cost rises if you choose to reface your cabinets using the most expensive material, wood veneer. Also available for refacing are: plastic laminates and rigid thermofoils or RTFs. Plastic laminates come in a wide range of colors. While RTFs come in fewer colors, they can be shaped and molded into a variety of styles, including convincing wood grain patterns.
Both big and small companies specialize in cabinet refacing and you can easily find listings online or in your local telephone directory. Refacing, depending on the scale of your project, can generally be completed in two to three days. Extras, such as adding cabinets, a kitchen island, and molding and trim work, will extend the job.
Buying new kitchen cabinets is an investment that you add tremendous comfort and value to your home. But it's a long-term investment. The longer you plan to live in your home, the better your chances are to fully realize the fruits of your hard-earned dollars.

Fenner (OTCPK:FNERF) is a manufacturer of rolex replica. Have you ever heard of the philosophy of selling pickaxes and shovels to miners? Same idea. From the Q4 report, "Based in the rolex replica, Fenner is the world's leading manufacturer of conveyor belts. As such, the business is heavily exposed to mining, in particular in the rolex replica and in Australia. In addition, the company is involved in a variety of generally high quality but niche businesses, with one third of revenue related to oil gas (O production and petrochemical activity. While their rolex replica is strong and has yet to be impacted, Fenner's share price fell further this quarter, along with most O related companies, due to the sharp, unexpected fall in oil prices." The market cap is million (swiss replica watches), and it has a 5.82% dividend yield. That yield is very tempting. Revenues are down from million ($1,230) in 2013 to ($1,094) in 2014. Like many value funds, FPA buys cyclical companies at what it hopes is the bottom of the cycle. One of the fund's big winners was Christian Dior (OTC:CHDRF). I wrote about Dior a few weeks ago on hublot replica. Dior controls LVMH (OTCPK:LVMHF). My conclusion was that it's had a pretty good run, and I'd be wary of investing at this point.

We decided to use State Roofing because we heard about them and liked the salesman who came out to our house. Also, the price they gave us for the re-roofing was good. They came out with a whole crew of guys and knocked a lot of the roof off in one day. They came back the next day to finish up. We are happy with the work they did. There were no problems at all. State Roofing did exactly what they said they were going to do and cleaned the mess up afterwards.
Stephan M.
"I used to dread high wind and rain as my old 3 Tab roof was falling apart from the time we moved in 18 years ago. I sleep so much better knowing we have a lifetime roof overhead. I have not seen any roofs like ours, and have had great comments like "Wow, what a great looking roof, I know where I am going to check first when I am ready for a roof". We have the EuroShake roof and it looks just like we have a real shake roof. Thanks again for a great looking roof! "

The decision-making process for selecting replacement windows divides into two tracks depending on whether historic windows remain in place or no historic windows survive.
When historic windows exist, they should be repaired when possible. When they are too deteriorated to repair, selection of the replacement windows must be guided by Standard 6. Design, visual qualities, and materials are specific criteria provided by the Standard that are pertinent to evaluating the match of a replacement window. Evaluating the adequacy of the match of the replacement window involves the consideration of multiple issues.
The more important a window is in defining the historic character of a building the more critical it is to have a close match for its replacement. Location is a key factor in two ways. It is usually a consideration in determining the relative importance of a buildings various parts. For example, the street-facing facade is likely to be more important than an obscured rear elevation. The more important the elevation, feature or space of which the window is a part, the more important the window is likely to be, and thus, the more critical that its replacement be a very accurate match. Secondly, the location of the window can affect how much of the windows features and details are visible. This will affect the nature of an acceptable replacement. For example, windows at or near ground level present a different case from windows in the upper stories of a tall building.
Using the hierarchy of a buildings features and taking into account the windows visibility, some general guidance can be drawn.
The evaluation of the match of a replacement window depends primarily on its visual qualities. Dimensions, profiles, finish, and placement are all perceived in relative terms. For example, an eighth of an inch variation in the size of an element that measures a few inches across may be imperceptible, yet it could be more noticeable on the appearance of an element that is only half an inch in size. The depth of a muntin or the relative complexity of a brick mold profile are more often made visually apparent through the shadows they create. Thus, while comparable drawings are the typical basis for evaluating a replacement window, a three-dimensional sample or mock-up provides the most definitive test of an effective visual match.
The way a historic window operates is an important factor in its design and appearance. A replacement window, however, need not operate in the same manner as the historic window or need not operate at all as long as the change in operation does not change the form and appearance of the window to the point that it does not match the historic window or otherwise impair the appearance and character of the building.
Replacement windows for missing or non-historic windows must be compatible with the historic appearance and character of the building. Although replacement windows may be based on physical or pictorial documentation, if available, recreation of the missing historic windows is not required to meet the Standards. Replacement of missing or non-historic windows must, however, always fill the original window openings and must be compatible with the overall historic character of the building. The general type of window industrial steel, wood double-hung, etc. that is appropriate can usually be determined from the proportions of the openings, and the period and historic function of the building. The appearance of the replacement windows must be consistent with the general characteristics of a historic window of the type and period, but need not replicate the missing historic window. In many cases, this may be accomplished using substitute materials. There may be some additional flexibility with regard to the details of windows on secondary elevations that are not highly visible, consistent with the approach outlined for replacing existing historic windows. Replacing existing incompatible, non-historic windows with similarly incompatible new windows does not meet the Standards.
