Stock cabinets: Stock cabinets are available in widths of nine inches and increase in three-inch increments up to 48 inches (the largest standard size stock cabinet you can buy). They are available in a large variety of styles and can be ordered through retailers and manufacturers' catalogs. Keep in mind that stock cabinets are constructed before being purchased, so special sizes are not available. Since this is the case, filler strips are used to close gaps between a cabinet and an appliance or wall. Stock cabinets are typically stored in a manufacturer's warehouses and are usually available within a week of being ordered.
Semi-custom cabinets:
Semi-custom cabinets are the best of both worlds. Construction of the cabinet only begins when the order is final. This allows for modifications to standard sizes. However, the delivery time make take a month or longer. An experienced kitchen designer can offer you numerous options - such as interior finishes that match exteriors and varying cabinet depths - that will give your kitchen an almost custom look.
Custom cabinets:
Custom cabinets can be made to suit any room space or desire. You can also incorporate virtually any door style and color into your kitchen. You can even have cabinets made to match existing cabinetry, woodwork or architectural details. You can even select an "unfitted" look with freestanding cabinets that look and act like furniture. How long can you expect to wait for you custom cabinets? Plan on at leas 10 weeks, however longer waits are common.

Q: I dislike oak cabinets. Is refacing just about the doors/drawer faces, but you're left with Oak as your choice to match the grain? Or is it much more of an in depth procedure than this, and if I like maple or cherry can we go to that without completely new cabinets? How much does it cost, on average, to reface cabinets, upper and lower, versus entirely new cabinets |

A:
I am going to buy my kitchen cabinets now,but I don't know what kind of kitchen cabinets should I choose? My primary concerns for my kitchen cabinetry are strength and price.
1. Should I choose plywood cabinetry over pressed wood? Cost to upgrade: $1350
2. Should I choose raised center panels and door frames over recessed panels? Cost to upgrade: $1500.
3. Should I upgrade #2 above to doors that completely cover the cabinets, hiding the rims? Cost to upgrade: an additoinal $1350 over #2.
The cabinetry in question is Maple from Brandom Cabinets. |

Q:What's the best way to spray cabinet doors? I have about 50 flat panel cherry doors. I will be spraying conversion varnish. My original thought was to lay four down on a piece of 4x8 cardboard and spray one side at a time, hitting the sides of the door at the same time and then lifting the whole sheet onto our drying rack. A: I like to do them one at a time, perched upon a shop-made lazy susan stand (setting on a pair of sawhorses). Shoot the edges and one side and move it to the drying rack, grab another and repeat the process. With a fast drying finish, the first one sprayed should be about ready for a coat on the reverse side about the time you are done spraying the last one in the run. Well, almost. |

Q:Will I get a good return on my cabinet investment? A:The answer to this question will also be dependent on several outside factors, such as the value of the home, how it compares to other homes in the neighborhood and the neighborhood itself. But typically interior upgrades such as new kitchen cabinets that offer a buyer modern convenience, ample storage, functional design, style, safety and low maintenance are likely to increase the value of your home and give you more return on your investment (it is estimated in most cases to be, on average, about 81 percent of the initial cost). |
