We can recommend builders and contractors that we have worked with for years. We are familiar with their work and are comfortable referring you to them.

We can recommend remodelers that we have worked with for years. We are familiar with their work and are comfortable referring you to them. If you are only replacing cabinetry, a professional remodeler may not be necessary. We are able to provide the design and product to make the project as easy as possible.

Kitchen projects can take as long as five weeks and longer, depending on the amount of work to be completed. Cabinetry typically takes up to four weeks to manufacture, and the time it takes to install cabinetry will vary depending on the complexity of the job. Granite, quartz and solid surface tops can add to the timeline because they are templated, cut and installed after the cabinetry is installed. Tile backsplash can also add some time to the project. To shorten the timeline, consider laminate countertops. They are made at the same time as the cabinetry and are delivered with the cabinetry.

We usually design cabinetry from your floor plan or a copy of your blueprints. In most cases, homes are constructed very close to the plans, so cabinetry designs can be started about or prior to the home’s foundation being started. Some tradesmen, such as plumbers and electricians, will need a detailed copy of the designs to properly place plumbing rough-ins. Electricians will mount outlets and switches before insulation and sheetrock are installed. Also, think about your accent lighting. Electricians will wire accent lighting according to the product selected. Some lighting needs to be hard wired (meaning, installed before insulation and sheetrock), but low voltage accent lighting can plug into an outlet.

We display and assist with selection of cabinet styles, cabinet colors, countertops and hardware. Our Selection Room displays more than a hundred wood types and colors, and our showroom displays contain many internal accessory options such as roll out trays. In addition, our designers can assist you when you make choices concerning the flooring, paint, tile, window and wall treatments.

We can recommend qualified remodeling and new construction contractors that we have worked with for years. We are familiar with their work and are comfortable referring you to them. We also provide installation information for backsplashes, plumbing and electrical.

The cost depends on the size of the project and the materials selected. We have completed kitchens for less than $5000, and we have created kitchens that were $40,000 and more. On average, cabinetry and countertops cost between $7000 and $13,000. In some cases, countertops can cost as much as the cabinetry.

• Solid surface tops such as Corian have their own sink that is under mounted for a seamless look.
• Solid surface tops can also have a stainless steel under mount sink, and other sinks made especially for this application.
• Granite and quartz tops can have a stainless steel, copper and quartz under mount sink.
• Laminate tops can have a Karran brand stainless steel and quartz under mount sink.

Solid surface countertops scratch easily; a professional can repair them by sanding. Laminate tops can scratch; the High Definition HD® laminate from Wilsonart is the most durable laminate surface. Marble tops also scratch.

Manmade quartz countertops are the best option for no maintenance. The production process results in a surface that is non-porous with a pleasing sheen. They will not stain and are virtually impossible to scratch. Quartz countertops need no sealing or other special maintenance other than washing the surface with a mild dish soap and drying off.

Some laminate countertop designs are actual photographs of granite slabs, and can be less expensive than granite. However, seams will be more noticeable on such laminate than actual granite. Some new quartz designs accurately mimic the look of granite; however they can cost just as much as granite, if not more.

It depends.
• Burns and stains on a laminate are not repairable.
• Burns and stains on a solid surface top can sometimes be sanded out, or the damaged area can be cut out and replaced.
• Burns on a quartz top can be repaired in some cases.
• Granite tops will not burn; however, they can stain if not maintained and sealed regularly. A stain on a granite countertop is not repairable.

Quartz and solid surface tops are the best surfaces to roll dough on. They are completely smooth and non-porous. Laminate and wood tops work as well, but require more cleanup.

Natural stone is an actual stone or slab cut from the earth. Because it is a natural material, it is porous and will contain small cracks and fissures that can be noticeable when fabricated into a slab for a countertop. Natural stone may have differences in hardness and density, which in some cases results in weak spots that could crack or allow stains.

Engineered stone is a manmade product that typically uses natural raw quartz in a range of sizes, from as fine as sand to the size of a pea. This raw quartz is mixed with pigmented resins. The mixture is put through a process of vibration, compaction and heat to cure the resin and to squish out the air. This results in a countertop that is non-porous, strong and free of cracks and fissures associated with natural stone.

In Sioux Falls, homeowners tend to choose granite and quartz.
