Renovating Kitchen?

While planning for kitchen work tops renovation, there are certain mistakes to avoid as a responsible homeowner, by the end of this article, you will have known all of them.

First Kitchen Project

For any plan to be executed successfully, communication is the key. So, it is very natural to be inquisitive when you're the one investing a hefty amount. In fact, it is crucial to ask questions before assigning someone a responsibility like home decoration and work-tops renovation. But for that to happen, you must know the right questions to ask, especially if this is your first kitchen renovation.. And here we are to do exactly that for you; articulate the right set of questions to make your kitchen plan a megahit. 

Trusted Fabricator for Kitchen Worktop Renovation

First of all, crosscheck the previous works of the fabricator you are planning to give the responsibility for your stone and work tops renovation project. Make sure you're in the right hands. Ask them about their years of experience in the firm. Tell them to provide proof of their insurance policies. If still doubtful, contact the insurance company to make sure you`re not being scammed. If they come out as trustworthy,  you can visit the fabricator in-person to know about the machinery they use and their portfolio. After all this, you can analyze whether they are a good fit for you or not.

Kitchen Project Warranty

If you decide to work with them, ask whether their service comes with a warranty. If yes, demand written warranties rather than relying upon verbal exchange of confirmations.  Discuss the estimates of the entire plan. Ask them for their quote on stones along with delivery, template, fabrication and installation costs. The price range of stones available in the market at a particular time can be influenced by numerous reasons. It is advised to know the information to calculate your budget before beginning your purchases or creating your plan.

Work-tops Renovation with Proper Detail

Ask the fabricator if they know the stones they work on, enough to successfully work on their assigned project. It is also important that you have some knowledge on why you should opt for a particular stone choice and how exactly that is gonna be a benefit as opposed to others. Learn about which specific stone choice is suitable for your environment, and which stones to look for while considering a kitchen countertop fabrication, shelving, cabinets, flooring, kitchen sink unit, backsplash, upstand, window sill, etc. These questions are necessary to make sure that you are not starting with the wrong choice.  

Fix an appointment for their warehouse visit to confirm your stone choice for work top as well as do carry out an authenticity crosscheck. Do not rely on just the images shown on the website. This one must be taken even more seriously if you are considering installing natural stones for your spaces. Natural stones exhibit a wide variety of patterns in their slab, such that even the same slab will have different designs and stone colours distributed in different portions. So, to avoid confusion in future, it is recommended that you visit the warehouse in person.

While on-site at Warehouse for Worktop Renovation,

• Check out what colour stone looks suitable for your existing space. 
• Confirm whether the colour of stone you are choosing will fade (especially for outdoor kitchens).
• Ask if their slabs for stone worktop are resin-treated and or properly sealed to ensure longevity.
• Ask if they provide just basic service or do they specialize in edging and finishes.
• Ask what kind of finishing of stones they exclusively do for stone worktop; whether just basic polished finishes that give shiny and sparkly kitchen worktops, or honed stone look that make the stones appear matte, or leathered finishes, or if they have expertise in all these categories and much more.
• Ask them when they are beginning the service. Fix dates.
• Ask how long the entire process will take.
• Ask about the Dos and Don'ts you are required to know during the installation process.
• Ask if they provide you with a detailed post-instalment maintenance guide.
• Ask about their customer satisfaction policies, if any.
