Kitchen Renovation - The Perfect Christmas Gift

How was your Thanksgiving? Surely it was as busy I am imagining, but that seems to be part of the tradition. But along with all of the rushing around, the Signature Kitchens family hopes you had an enjoyable holiday full of friends, family and good food.

Now that we have one holiday down, it's time to fully turn your attention to Christmas - arguably the biggest holiday of the year.

Kitchen Renovation in Northern Virginia

Kitchen renovation is a perfect Christmas gift to yourself. There is no better way to spruce up your home than to renovate the room that has the most foot traffic, and is often the most-used. Especially during the holidays, your kitchen is working overtime and the wear and tear from the busiest season of the year can leave a lasting impression on your kitchen. Don't go another year with a kitchen that needs an update!

Christmas is also a great time for kitchen renovation in Northern Virginia for homeowners that are looking to sell in the spring and summer months. The kitchen is usually the most visibly dated room of the home and homeowners often choose to update this room specifically for its high return on investment and its ability to sell a home.

Thanksgiving is the Kitchen Nightmare!

Thanksgiving is only 1 day away!

I can only imagine the chaos ensuing around Northern Virginia as families scramble to grocery stores, loading up their carts and standing in line for what feels like hours. Thanksgiving has a way of taking a peaceful holiday and turning it into a hectic eat-a-thon. I'm not complaining about that last part.

The worst part, in my mind, is the clean up. After cooking a Thanksgiving meal, the kitchen can be a complete disaster. "How did mashed potatoes get on the ceiling?" you'll think to yourself. Appliances will stop working when you need them the most and you may feel like your kitchen is falling apart all around you.

You may need kitchen cabinet refacing. 

When it's all said and done, you will have to assess the damage to your kitchen. If you haven't updated your kitchen yet with kitchen cabinet refacing, then you are in luck. Waiting until after Thanksgiving might have been a wise choice. We know that the kitchen can take a beating during this holiday, and after it's done, it's time to treat yourself.

Kitchen cabinet refacing removes all of the visible elements of your cabinets, and replaces them with beautiful, 100% hard wood. That means that all of the scratches, grooves, and faded kitchen cabinet doors will be removed.

Just in time for Christmas, kitchen cabinet refacing is a wonderful gift to yourself.

For kitchen cabinet refacing needs, contact Signature Kitchens! Use real wood, not the vinyl stuff!

Thanksgiving and Your Kitchen

Thanksgiving is just around the corner and families everywhere are making last minute preparations for the biggest dinner of the year. As friends and family gather around the dinner table in a week, think back and remember the time you spent in your kitchen. Were there elements of your current kitchen that were an inconvenience to you? Things that could have been updated to streamline the chaos? It may be time for kitchen remodeling. 

Kitchen Design Ideas

Since Thanksgiving is one of the busiest times of the year for the kitchen, it should be fairly easy to identify the elements of your kitchen that are an inconvenience. Maybe things would be easier to manage with more storage, or perhaps an island would have been an enormous help. 

Whatever it is, this time of the year is a perfect opportunity to pick up some kitchen design ideas for yourself. No one knows your kitchen better than you do, and we can help customize your space to make it more manageable, convenient and customized to meet your personal needs.   

Thanksgiving is just one of the holidays around the corner. Soon meal upon meal will be cooked up in your kitchen, which is why now is a great time to consider kitchen remodeling. For all of your kitchen remodeling needs, contact Signature Kitchens in Northern Virginia! 

The Holiday Season is the Busiest Time of the Year for Kitchens

The holiday season is right around the corner, and homeowners throughout the DC metro area are preparing and updating their homes with kitchen remodeling projects to accommodate friends and family.

A Once-a-Year Opportunity

Kitchens are certainly the most used room in a home during the holiday season; it's a 3 month span of endless meals and countless guests, making the kitchen the hub of entertainment in every home. With so many different roles to play, it's no wonder that kitchens throughout the area are being updated during the winter months more than any other time of the year.

Why Kitchen Remodeling Now?

Homeowners spend more time indoors and their kitchens are working overtime to keep up. This is when homeowners begin to distinguish the likes and dislikes of their kitchens and consider kitchen remodeling or kitchen renovation. They begin to understand what they could really use or need.

Kitchen Renovation in Northern Virginia

Have you started slowly moving indoors yet? Although fall is in full effect in Northern Virginia, the nights and mornings are often chilly and sometimes just plain cold. In fact, we are only weeks away from Thanksgiving and soon we’ll be watching the citizens of New York celebrating the parade in the streets of Manhattan from the warmth of our homes in Northern Virginia.

This all means one thing: you have little time to get your kitchen renovation project up and running!

Kitchen Design Ideas for Fall

The colors of fall and spring are, to me, the most noticeable and welcoming. With that being said, home interior stores run wild during this time of the year with decorations. Not only does it create that cozy, homey feel that people love, but it is also a celebration of the season.

Kitchen Design Ideas for the Fall

Buying new furniture and decorations every year can certainly add up in the long run…or the short run depending on how much you like to shop. But there are certain elements of the home that can be updated to create that same feeling that home décor stores seem to capture.

According to HGTV, chairs are the most commonly updated item in the kitchen. They can easily be painted or reupholstered to match any season of the year.

Fall foliage is another great, and small, item that can capture the look and feel of autumn. For a cheap and effective kitchen design idea, just wrap some candles in corn husks, make use of pinecones, faux oak leaves and pumpkins (real or fake) throughout your home. If you’re feeling artistic, you can even make paper leaves and utilize them in fun and interesting ways in various rooms.

Candles and wreaths also spruce up the home. It is incredibly easy to find a candle that displays fall colors and the same goes for wreaths. Wreaths can often be made with pinecones or fall foliage and are also a great and affordable kitchen design idea.

For all of your kitchen design ideas, Signature Kitchens has the kitchen elements to match. From cabinets and drawers made of real wood to small and large elements that can transform your kitchen, Signature Kitchens in Northern Virginia is a fantastic choice when it comes to your kitchen remodeling project.

Remodeling for the Holidays

It’s no mystery that the holiday season can be one of the busiest times of the year. With Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s all within a month and a half of one another, families are moving nonstop preparing meals, visiting relatives and eating meals, and running to the grocery store preparing to prepare meals. That’s a lot of meals. Mix that in with the meals consumed the 5 month long holiday – football season – and that’s a lot of time spent preparing meals for a lot of different people.

The holiday season not only puts stress on homeowners, but it also takes its toll on your kitchen.

If your kitchen has suffered through countless holiday seasons already, it may be time to think about kitchen renovation or kitchen remodeling before Thanksgiving strikes. Whether your cabinets are beginning to show their age or because you’ve spent too much time fighting with that broken silverware drawer, the fall is a perfect time to update your kitchen.

From complete kitchen remodeling projects to cabinet and drawer refacing, Signature Kitchens can have it fixed and installed in just a few days. For more information, visit www.signaturewoodcrafters.com or schedule an appointment and visit our showroom at 6612 James Madison Hwy. Haymarket, VA 20169.

Selling Your Home in the Spring?

I love the fall weather. It feels great outside (minus the storms). Fall is great for a lot of different reasons: the beginning of the holiday season, football, friends and family, but it also a great time for kitchen remodeling and cabinet installation.

The warmer seasons such as spring and summer are great times to buy and sell homes. Few people want to deal with the stress of moving during the holiday season, and moving furniture and boxes in the cold weather can be a miserable experience.

So why is fall a great time for kitchen remodeling and cabinet installation?

Since homes sell in warmer weather, the fall is a great time to prepare your home. Now is the time to make a list of items that need repair or updating, so your home will sell quickly.

The kitchen is often a room that needs to be updated the most. When they are finally updated, kitchen remodeling projects and new cabinet installation have a phenomenal return on investment. Having an outdated kitchen, and being unable to sell your home may very well be related!

If you plan on selling your home in the spring or summer, think about updating your kitchen with a kitchen remodeling makeover, or new cabinet installation.

Call Signature Kitchens today to learn more about our services!

Kitchen Design Ideas for Autumn

There is something about Fall that I love and can never quite put my finger on it. After 6 months or so of being outside during spring and summer, the weather does everything it can to force us back inside. But when a home, and especially the kitchen, are decorated for the Fall season, being inside is homey, nostalgic, and even enjoyable. 

Kitchen Design Ideas

Fall colors, especially earth tones, have a comforting quality about them and give us memories of Thanksgiving and good food.

As many home owners in Northern Virginia are preparing for their kitchen remodeling projects before the winter, begin to think about your Fall decorations in the meantime. Once the kitchen remodeling project is complete, you will be left with a completely clean and probably empty kitchen. It’s like a clean slate.

Earth tones are great for placemats, candles, and other little accessories throughout the kitchen. A good friend of mine used small twigs and fake leaves to wrap around candle holders and even chandeliers to give that extra autumn look, and is a great, inexpensive kitchen design idea.

We would love to see how you have decorated your kitchen! Feel free to post any photos to our Facebook wall along with decorating tips and kitchen design ideas.

Kitchen Cabinet Refacing for Football Season!

Football season is finally here! For all of those diehard football fans, this is one of the most exciting times of the year. The fall weather reminds us that football season has finally arrived and fanatics will be glued to their televisions watching their favorite teams compete each and every week.

I love football season. If you’re not a fan of the game, it’s certainly hard to not be a fan of the food. The kitchen is twice as busy with fans running back and forth to the fridge and cabinets grabbing snacks and drinks for hours on end throughout the week.

Football season is also a great time for kitchen cabinet refacing. When there is a large group over at your house this football season, you will soon find out that functionality is everything. Do you need extra storage from your kitchen cabinets? Are there enough kitchen cabinets at all? Are they outdated or even in need of repair?

There are many factors to consider when you’re looking into kitchen cabinet refacing. But most importantly, you need to know that it’s made from a quality product, that it’s durable, that it’s visually exactly what you want, and that it comes at a great price.

All of our products are made with real wood. Each piece is custom built in our manufacturing facility to fit your cabinet frames. And since we manufacture our own product, ship it, and install it through our own company, you are getting great prices and never have to deal with a third party.

For more information on kitchen cabinet refacing or to visit our showroom, visit Signature Kitchens in Haymarket, Virginia!

School is Back = Assess the Kitchen Damage

It’s hard to believe that summer is officially over! The weather is slowly fading from those brutal 100 degree weeks and school is back in session for students around Northern Virginia.

Now that the kids are finally out of the house for most of the day (depending on their age) it’s time to assess the damage. The kids have been running through the house all summer long leaving a trail of debris in their path. But now that the dust has settled, it’s time to take a look around at the most used room of the home – the kitchen.

Do You Need a Kitchen Remodeling Contractor?

If you have been putting off that kitchen remodeling project all summer because you knew how busy you would be, now is the time to get things done. With the holiday season right around the corner, chances are your kitchen doesn’t have much time before things get truly hectic once again. Kitchen remodeling in Northern Virginia is constantly occurring due to design trends, the housing market, and the unique way of living that can only be found in Northern Virginia.

Don’t Want to Take on a Kitchen Remodeling Project? Consider Cabinet Refacing.

I’ve said it before that kitchen cabinet refacing can completely transform the look and feel of your current kitchen. Since kitchen cabinets take up the most real estate, the rest of the kitchen often caters to the overall design of the cabinets themselves. If you are ready for a new look, consider cabinet refacing and take care of the smaller items down the road.

For all of your kitchen remodeling or kitchen cabinet refacing needs in Northern Virginia, contact Signature Kitchens! Visit our showroom in Haymarket, Virginia.

Kitchen Cabinet Installation - Is it Time Yet?

As the winter season approaches, more people are thinking about kitchen remodeling. Like I mentioned in last week’s post, the holiday season is the busiest time of the year for individuals, and for kitchens. With that in mind, many people turn to kitchen remodeling so that their holiday season is full of great food, a fantastic place to cook it, and the unity and memories that can only be made through the most used room in the home – the kitchen.

Kitchen Cabinet Installation

Though I have talked about Signature Kitchen’s unique offering of kitchen cabinet recrafting, there does come a time when your kitchen cabinets require much more than just a touch up. Often the cabinet frames are beyond repair, and “putting lipstick on a pig” simply won’t cover up what really needs to be replaced.

Kitchen cabinet installation not only gives your entire kitchen a new look, but it allows you the opportunity to get creative. Chances are that you have been with the same kitchen cabinets for years and have learned what you like, don’t like, and where you would like things to be if you had new cabinets.

With freedom of design, high functionality and an amazing return on investment, investing in new kitchen cabinet installation is an incredible way to transform your home and prepare for the holidays.

For all of your kitchen cabinet installation needs, call Signature Kitchens – proudly serving all of Northern Virginia.

Renting vs. Buying - Which is Best??

There is a new post on zillow.com, a search engine for renters and buyers to find homes, that talks about buying a home verses renting one. Typically, people are quick to throw up their hands and immediately claim that owning a home is, of course, the best choice. But much more should be going into that decision such as location, how long you plan on living in the area, and of course, your income.

Zillow tells us that there is a magical number called the “break even horizon” - the number of years you need to own a home before you are actually saving money. For most areas, that amount of time is somewhere between 2-5 years.

What does this have to do with kitchen remodeling?

Making the switch from renting to buying, you may think that you will be spending more money initially and then completely forget about the saving money part a few years down the road. But after the first couple of years, you can start using the money you saved by making home repairs such as kitchenremodeling or cabinet installation. Both of these items provide a great return on investment for a home, which will save you even more money if you plan on selling the home in the future.

If you are moving into your first home and want to update your home with a kitchen remodeling project, rest assured that the money you will save in 2-3 years will pay for the kitchen remodel or cabinet installation. Moving into a home that has been around for some time, the owners will often choose kitchen remodeling as their first major project as that can be the most noticeably dated room in the house.

Kitchen Design Ideas This Football Season

Summer is almost over, unfortunately. We are only one month away until school is back in session for a number of Northern Virginia students. But with the end of summer means the beginning of fall, and with the beginning of fall, we also get football.

Football season will soon be consuming the Northern Virginia area as hopes of the Washington Redskins latest prospect are at an all time high. Football means family rooms packed with sports enthusiasts, lots of food and (probably) lots of yelling at the TV.

So if you are looking for kitchen design ideas this fall to prepare for winter holidays, look no further than football season.

As loads of people pile into your house every Sunday until January, the kitchen is sure to get a lot of use. From cooking up appetizers and halftime snacks in the kitchen to throwing a few steaks on the grill, most football fans love to eat. The football fan can run endless sprints between the TV room and the kitchen to snack on whatever is in sight.

This is a great opportunity to see how others use the kitchen, how you are using the kitchen to accommodate guests, and where you would like to see things improve.

Kitchen Remodeling

If your guests always seem to run straight into the kitchen island in between plays, you may want to consider kitchen remodeling. A full kitchen remodel will often help homeowners accommodate large amounts of guests, which can be especially helpful during holidays, parties, and football season, of course.

Realtors Seeking Kitchen Remodeling Contractors

Our nation’s housing market is still seeing some of the lowest interest rates ever. It has been a great few years for buyers and a very busy time for realtors as well. With many homes being foreclosed or selling as “short sales”, homes are left as is which can make them difficult to sell at times.

Every room usually undergoes some sort of touch up before selling, but the one room that can truly sell a home is the kitchen – a room that needs to be up to par with kitchens found in new homes. Kitchens are the most used rooms in a house and it often shows. So what needs to be done to sell the home?

Kitchen Design Ideas after the Storm

Storms have rolled through Northern Virginia in a big way the last couple of weeks, and combined with the worst heat wave the DC metro area has ever experienced, locals did all they could to stay inside during the 110 degree weather.

During that week, I spent as much time indoors as I possibly could and, maybe it was a bit of cabin fever, but I began fixing things that didn’t need to be fixed, cleaning things that I rarely clean, etc. It was also a great time, maybe for you, also, to assess the layout of your home and kitchen, and take note of some changes you would like to see.

Kitchen Design Ideas

Spending a week indoors, you will become much more familiar with your surroundings than you would ever like to be – even more so than Thanksgiving in the kitchen. That’s why it was the perfect opportunity to collect some unique kitchen design ideas.

Remodeling & Renovation: What's the Difference?

As a homeowner looking to take on a new project, it is important that you understand exactly what you are getting into and how to express that to those involved. To better explain your new project to contractors, service providers and even building supplies retail centers, we’ll take a look at some very common home improvement terms that are used constantly throughout the industry.

Kitchen Remodeling

Kitchen remodeling, or remodeling in general, is a fairly broad term that is used to describe any change to a house. Remodeling carries with it a heavier weight and can often represent a major undertaking. For example, a kitchen remodeling project may involve combining the dining room and the kitchen into one room. This is becoming an extremely popular kitchen remodeling project as it involves a complete transformation of not one but two rooms.

Kitchen Renovation

Smaller scale projects can be categorized as renovations. A renovation is a project that would involve making the room appear new again. Not a complete overhaul, but updating the existing fixtures and overall look of the room. In a kitchen renovation project, you may see cabinet refacing being done, new appliances or light fixtures, or even new flooring. It is essentially taking what exists currently and revitalizing it.

Knowing the difference between these two types of home improvement projects will allow you to communicate your needs and concerns more effectively with building contractors and retail outlets. For all of your kitchen remodeling and kitchen renovation needs, contact Signature Kitchens in Haymarket, Virginia.

The "Work Triangle" for Your Kitchen Remodeling Project

Home values have increased again this month signifying an upswing in the housing market. As I stated in previous blog entries, kitchen remodeling projects create a highly-valuable return on investment for homeowners. These projects steadily increase in popularity as homeowners continue to sell by creating a memorable atmosphere at the heart of the home.

Layouts for Kitchen Remodeling Projects

Kitchen cabinet installation is one of the most important pieces to your remodel. Kitchen cabinets need to be durable, have ample storage space, and most importantly, they have to look good.

The Correct Location for Your Kitchen Cabinet Installation

In order to find the proper location for your kitchen cabinet installation, you need to understand how you want your kitchen to function. Depending on the size of your kitchen remodeling project, you may be looking for a complete overhaul – changing the location of your stove, cabinets, sink, etc.

A tried and true layout for a kitchen remodel is known as the Work Triangle. According to zillow.com, the triangle should have the stove, sink and refrigerator at its points. They should have plenty of space between each item without any intersecting inhibitors such as a kitchen island or counter. This is used to maximize efficiency in the kitchen and to create a space that promotes a seamless operation and room for guests and loved ones to gather.

Signature Kitchens has a fantastic showroom for everyone to browse through for their kitchen remodeling project ideas. You will be able to select the wood, finish and overall look of your new kitchen cabinets, and even see them paired with counter tops and appliances.

Going Green: Kitchen Renovation Ideas

Keeping up with the latest kitchen design trends can be a fun process. New designs are constantly emerging and everything from the economy and location of your home can impact the overall style of a newly built home.

One of the hottest topics for the last several years is “going green.” We hear about it from every company under the sun as businesses shift towards environmentally-friendly products and manufacturing processes.

Kitchen Renovation Ideas for “Going Green”

A trend that continues to gain more steam is incorporating renewable or recyclable products into home building, according to zillow.com. Homeowners are now requesting flooring materials that are environmentally-friendly. The most common solution to that request is bamboo. Since bamboo is considered grass and grows rapidly, it is also considered a renewable option for flooring, and a kitchen renovation idea worth remembering.

Going Green with Cabinet Installation

Gone are the days of lugging armfuls of plastic bottles and cans out to the green recycle bin in your garage. With a society that is more sensitive to recycling and reusing than ever before, homeowners are finding new ways to incorporate the process into their homes through cabinet installation. Separate receptacles for recycling are now hiding underneath kitchen islands and unassuming cabinets. Often found next to the trash can inside the cabinets, recycling bins are conveniently located and at the top of your mind while you dispose of waste.

Incorporating the going green process into your kitchen renovation ideas can be a great benefit to the environment and your home. For all of your home’s cabinet installation and kitchen renovation needs, visit Signature Kitchens in Haymarket, Virginia.

Kitchen Remodeling: Enormous Resale Value

In the last few blogs I wrote about the increasing popularity of kitchen remodeling and some of the latest trends. How the kitchen is no longer just a room to cook and eat in, but has become a multipurpose space functioning as the home office, dining room, and the central hub of your home.

Other than the visual appeal that complete kitchen remodeling projects bring, there is a much bigger reason that you should consider updating the most important room in your home: resale value.

Remodeling magazine’s 2011-2012 Cost vs. Value Report stated that minor kitchen remodels, including new countertops, appliances, and cabinet refacing, see a national average of receiving a 72% return on investment. Major kitchen remodeling projects including flooring, lighting and cabinet installation see nearly a 66% return on investment.

These numbers are enormous. Nearly 70% of the money you invest into your kitchen, whether cabinet refacing, new countertops and the like, will be returned to you upon the sale of your home. The more current the design and functionality of your kitchen the better. Having your home up to date on the latest trends can add a ton of value to your home’s worth making for an easier sale in the long run and an enjoyable environment while you are still living in the home, as well.

Signature Kitchens specializes in complete kitchen remodeling jobs, as well as minor kitchen renovations, and everything in between: cabinet refacing, cabinet installation, custom pieces, etc. For all of your kitchen makeover needs, contact Signature Kitchens in Northern Virginia today.

Kitchen Renovation Ideas: The Trends are Shifting!

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about some of the latest trends in kitchen remodeling. With such a dramatic shift in the housing market, the way our country is building and using homes has dramatically changed over the years. With this post, I hope to give you a few more kitchen renovation ideas and keep you educated on the latest trends.

Zillow.com cites another big change in kitchen remodeling. Separate dining rooms and living rooms are becoming extinct as homeowners are requesting more open floor plans. As a child, and even now, I know of very few families who still eat around the table in their dining room. In my eyes, the dining room has become just as formal as the “formal living room.” It’s hardly ever used as families are busier than ever, and do not have time to set up an elaborate meal. If they are eating together, it’s most often around the kitchen table.

An open floor plan appears to be more “free” and welcoming. If the kitchen is the central hub of the home, why not enjoy your meals in it, too? Keep this tip filed under your kitchen renovation ideas.

Kitchen Remodeling for Baby Boomers

Home building is starting to reflect the needs of the Baby Boomer generation. Having been settled in their home, these homeowners are looking towards kitchen remodeling to bring new life to their house. With that in mind, their kitchen remodeling requests are often for accessibility, wider doorways, and even lower countertops.

If you have no plans to move out of your home, remember some of these kitchen renovation ideas as you take the next step towards your kitchen remodeling project.

The Showroom at Signature Kitchens

This week, I took some time out of my day to tour the absolutely beautiful Signature Kitchens showroom conveniently located in Haymarket, Virginia. The front of the building looks just like a small home, but upon entry, the walls seem to expand as the showroom opens up, full of fantastic kitchens and exquisitely-crafted cabinetry.

The kitchen showroom provides an amazing experience full of breathtaking kitchens, but it also proves educational as guests see firsthand the process behind their legendary kitchen cabinet refacing, or “recrafting” process.

What makes the kitchen cabinet refacing process so incredible is the ability to completely transform the entire physical appearance of the existing cabinetry without a complete overhaul of the cabinet frames and installation process. It may sound like a complete kitchen remodeling project, but the recrafting process can be done in a fraction of the time and at a fraction of the cost.

The selection of new cabinet and drawer faces is vast and the entire collection is as stunning as the piece before it. There were so many great samples to choose from, and some of my favorite pieces were even found in photos of their completed projects proudly hanging on the showroom walls.

Most of all, the showroom felt intimate. It wasn't a large, impersonal business that didn't care, it was personal and catered exactly to what each guest wanted. I felt like I was standing in someone's home when I was there, and that is the perfect way to envision your new kitchen.

Stop by the showroom sometime and see for yourself. Haymarket is a beautiful town and truly adds to the whole experience. (The diner across the street is amazing, as well!)

The Signature Kitchens showroom is located at 6612 James Madison Highway, Haymarket, Virginia 20169.

Kitchen Design Ideas: The Latest Trends

Recently, Zillow, a real estate focused website, wrote an article outlining the latest kitchen design ideas and trends. As I have mentioned before, they too state that the kitchen has become so much more than what it used to be. It functions not only as a place to prepare food, but as your entertainment hub during social events, your workspace, and also a dining room. With this trend taking a drastic shift from previous years, now is a great time to consider kitchen remodeling.

Why Kitchen Remodeling in This Economy?

According to the American Institute of Architects (AIA) the current economic market has lead to cutbacks in other areas of home design and overall room size, but kitchens continue to see more attention in both design and use; one reason being that kitchens, along with bathrooms, are an essential part of the home. New kitchen design ideas are taking hold as home offices become less popular, and desk work is being done around the kitchen table. The AIA says that 43 percent of architects polled saw an increase in demand for computer areas in the kitchen. Here is a home we remodeled in Herndon, Virginia.

Kitchen remodeling projects and new homes are seeing extended countertops to handle other non-typical-kitchen tasks and floor space is being added to expand the overall size. The kitchen is becoming the main source of foot traffic in the home and the room where residents spend the most amount of time.

If you see that your own lifestyle reflects the current trend, now is the perfect time for kitchen remodeling. You’re spending the most time in your kitchen, so it requires the most upkeep and attention! Call Signature WoodCrafters for affordable solutions for your kitchen remodeling project!

Stair ReCrafting: What is it?

There are only a few more weeks until school is officially out for the summer. For some stay at home parents, this means that your vacation is coming to an end and the real work is about to begin. Keeping up with rambunctious children is definitely a full time job, and maintaining a clean home in the process seems impossible. As your children run down the stairs and out the door, then in the door and up the stairs this summer, you will begin to notice that your stairs are taking on twice the work that they are used to! Stairs with carpet will appear worn and stained and beyond the point of repair. Time to call a remodeling contractor.

The remodeling contractors at Signature WoodCrafters specialize in stair recrafting. For those unfamiliar with the term, stair recrafting is simply replacing the visible components of your existing stair case. That means you don’t have worry about completely rebuilding the frame of your staircase. Remodeling contractors take exact measurements of your stairs, while you begin selecting the type of wood, stain, and risers. Each stair is custom-made in our manufacturing facility in Pennsylvania and as soon as they arrive to your home, they are ready for installation.

Since each stair and component simply slides over top of your staircase, there is no mess, no disruption, and a lasting value by some of the finest remodeling contractors in the country. Stop by our showroom to see how recrafting can transform your staircase!

Before and After Kitchen ReCrafting Project

Signature WoodCrafters is known for its unique practice of kitchen cabinet ReCrafting. In a home in Leesburg, Virginia, we met with a homeowner who was unhappy with the overall appearance of her kitchen cabinets and island. Previously, she had replaced the countertops with granite and the island was being extended to create a breakfast bar. With those two items being remodeled, she felt that the natural maple color and door style of her kitchen cabinets did not flow well with the rest of the kitchen, and wanted something a little more formal.

Here is a look at the kitchen island as it was being extended, as well as the existing Natural Maple cabinets.

We recrafted the cabinets with full-overlay raised-panel doors in medium-tone maple with black glazing. Tall crown molding was added to the tops of the cabinets along with a black rope inset to coordinate with the glazing. A stainless steel refrigerator was also replaced with a new black refrigerator and custom raised panels were attached to match the cabinetry. Exposed cabinet ends were covered with raised panels as well.

Finally, the kitchen island was finished with matching solid raised panels on the sides and beaded paneling and corbels on the back, giving the homeowner’s kitchen the formal look she wanted.

Our kitchen cabinet recrafting services are completed within days once we receive the custom-made pieces from our Pennsylvania Dutch manufacturing facility. The quality of our work speaks for itself, and our ability to design, manufacture, and install our own work makes us a one-stop-shop for all of your kitchen remodeling needs and services.

Kitchen Remodeling on a Budget

This summer is already a very busy time for me and it hasn’t even really started yet. I have five weddings to attend and I have no idea how many more to come in the fall. The age of the engaged couples is fairly young and it is likely that they will be either renting a place to live or buying a small starter home. Buying a home is daunting task and chances are that the home will require a little TLC. Nothing is guaranteed to be in top shape, so it’s time for them to roll up their sleeves and get to work.

While potential DIY projects may abound in their new homes, there are some projects that are simply too large to undertake, or projects that require a certain set of skills. Kitchen remodeling is one of those projects. As a newly married couple with a shoestring budget, it’s likely that no major renovations will be taking place. However, kitchen cabinet refacing can be an affordable alternative to cabinet installation.

Kitchen cabinet refacing, or recrafting as we call it, is a process that replaces all of the visible elements of cabinets with new pieces. Most companies will reface cabinets with vinyl tape that resembles wood, but Signature WoodCrafters uses solid wood that is custom made in our own facilities. This makes us a go-to resource for so many kitchen remodeling projects.

The custom look will give your new home a high-end look with a much smaller budge than cabinet installation requires. Kitchen remodeling doesn't have to be super expensive! Owning a home at such a young age requires a little innovation and some research. Come check out Signature WoodCrafter’s showroom and see what we’re all about!

Kitchen Renovation - Your Post-Easter Assessment

Last week I wrote about the cabinet refacing and kitchen cabinet installation process. Over the Easter holiday, I challenged those who were thinking about doing a little kitchen renovation to pay attention to how their kitchen was being used and how easy it was to get around, find what you need, and entertain guests all at the same time. It’s overwhelming, I know!

Hopefully you had the chance to do just that. Assess your likes and dislikes of your kitchen and come up with a few new ideas. The cabinet refacing process, as I briefly talked about last week, can be done quickly and completely gives your kitchen a high-end, custom-built look for a fraction of the price of a complete installation. Kitchen cabinet refacing is much different than a regular installation as it replaces the doors and veneer tape around the framing only. It looks brand new and can be installed in just a few short days.

But for those who have had the time to look around your kitchen and decided that you are absolutely ready for an entire kitchen renovation, we can help you there, too. The kitchen renovation process is fully customizable. Are you looking to add more space to your kitchen, increase the cooking area, install additional cabinets, or add an island? The possibilities are seemingly endless as you can see, but in the end, a kitchen renovation can be as big or small as you like.

Our project managers are there to walk you through each step of the process and to help you figure out exactly what you want and need for your new space. They will listen to your concerns and create a design and plan that will give your kitchen an entirely new look and feel. Something you can truly be proud of.

Kitchen Cabinet Installation - How to Get It Done Fast!

Now that you have had Easter weekend to assess your kitchen design ideas and hopefully come up with a few ideas on how you would like to improve your space, it’s time to look at some items that might meet your needs.

Kitchen cabinet installation is probably the most common item to have replaced or renovated. Kitchen cabinets are the “face” of your kitchen. They are seen the most, used the most, and are definitely an essential piece due to the amount of storage space that they provide for your home. Having cabinets installed in your home can seem like a huge project to take on, which is why many of our customers choose our recrafted kitchen cabinet installation.

Having your cabinets recrafted by our kitchen remodeling contractors is a very fast and painless process. Instead of replacing the entire cabinet, frame and all, we replace the doors and veneers with custom-made solid wood that you have selected. Once the pieces are created in our own facility, the recrafted kitchen cabinet installation process can be done within days. What you’re left with is a high-end, custom look for a fraction of the price, and installed in a fraction of the time.

Our kitchen remodeling contractors install the new cabinet and drawer doors within days of receiving the manufactured pieces from our facility. This allows us to cut out the middle men so that you are always dealing with the same company from beginning to end. Our company prides itself on the quality of our work and the products we produce, and our kitchen remodeling contractors provide an excellent service that will have your brand new kitchen fully functioning in no time.

Great Way to Get Some Kitchen Design Ideas this Easter!

If you or your family celebrate Easter, then get ready – because it's this weekend. Every once in a while a holiday comes around that is known for its wonderfully-made, home-cooked dinners, and Easter is one of those holidays. As friends and family members flood your home this weekend, pay special attention to just how busy your kitchen gets; not just with cooking, but with socializing. Your kitchen is sure to be the focal point of a social event, and if you have been wanting to have your kitchen remodeled, now is a great time to keep your eyes open for kitchen design ideas.

Our kitchen remodeling contractors are more than happy to work with you every step of the way to make sure that your dream kitchen becomes a reality. However, the process begins a few steps before that. First you have to know what you want!

This Easter holiday, pay attention to what aspects of your kitchen are inconvenient for you. Is your cabinet placement ideal? Could you really benefit from having an island or a butcher's block? What about a counter and chairs? The best kitchen design ideas will probably come from real life experience. Would you like people to crowd around a different area of your kitchen so you can be free to cook? Think about these things this holiday so you can accurately describe your concerns and preferences to our kitchen remodeling contractors.

It may be difficult, but I would even suggest keeping a list of your kitchen design ideas throughout the day. If you are anything like the members of my family, there is zero downtime in the kitchen and if you are trying to pay attention and remember each detail for the kitchen remodeling contractors, chances are you will forget without taking the time to write down a few ideas.

Have a safe and happy Easter and call Signature WoodCrafters for your kitchen remodeling project!

A Great Resource for Realtors

Over at Signature WoodCrafters, we have a long history of working closely with realtors who are looking an inexpensive way to spruce up a home. Often we come in and quickly renovate staircases, cabinets, and other structures and features that may be outdated or have a worn look to them. We even do full kitchen renovations and cabinet remodeling.

Signature WoodCrafters has the perfect solution for a home that isn’t selling as well as expected. By completely ReCrafting an outdated kitchen with new cabinets, built-ins or countertops, the home will take on entirely new, custom-built look without the headache or cost of a full-scale remodeling project. Quickly doing a full or itemized kitchen renovation is a great solution.

Signature WoodCrafters also ReCrafts stairs. Transforming stained, worn-down carpet into a custom-made wood staircase eliminates the embarrassing walk up to the second floor with a client. The ReCrafting process resembles our cabinetry remodeling process, as we discard the carpet or old wood from the previous staircase, and fit our custom-built wood pieces over top of the existing stairs. This again provides you with a quick fix to a major eyesore in the home you are trying to sell. Once the custom pieces are built, the installation can be done within days so you can get back to work as soon as possible.

Working with Signature WoodCrafters ensures a beautiful, custom-built piece for your kitchen, stairway, countertop, or built-in at a fraction of the price and time it would take to complete an entire remodeling project. Our kitchen renovation and cabinet remodeling services are second to none.

Realtors need superior products in a quick, cost-effective manner, and that is exactly what Signature WoodCrafters provides. Don’t pay more and wait longer. It doesn’t make sense.

Kitchen Remodeling Projects

I can’t help but be overly excited that spring is here. The weather is here at least, but that is the true mark of a new season in my eyes. The warm weather means cookouts, parties and random social gatherings of friends and families. Despite having a perfectly fine family room, everyone seems to congregate inside the kitchen. This is why spring is the perfect time for a kitchen remodeling project. 

Kitchen remodeling doesn’t have to sound as daunting as it does. It can be as small or as big as you want it. Whether you’re looking for cabinet installation/recrafting, or the works – countertops, kitchen islands, buit-ins – Signature WoodCrafters has the perfect solution for you. 

Signature WoodCrafters is able to provide complete cabinet installation or recrafting. The two are very different. However, having the perfect cabinets installed for your kitchen remodeling project is key. Cabinets are the face of your kitchen. Typically, they take up the most space and are also the most seen and prominent structure in your kitchen. 

Whether you choose complete cabinet installation or cabinet recrafting, you will receive custom-built wood pieces from our own manufacturing facility in Pennsylvania. If you choose to work with us for your kitchen remodeling project, you will be cutting out the middle man that other contractors typically use. We manufacture and install all of our custom built items so you are always dealing with the same company. 

The type of wood and design you choose for your cabinet installation determines the entire look and feel of your kitchen remodeling project. We know that this can be a difficult choice for our customers, which is why we have created showrooms in Virginia and Maryland to better serve our guests. Stop by and see us and begin your kitchen remodeling project today!

Kitchen Cabinet Refacing and ReCrafting

When people think about kitchen cabinet refacing or even cabinet renovation, they visualize a long drawn out process, tons of contractors running around and making noise, and just total chaos. With Signature Kitchens, that couldn’t be any further from the truth.

We want your kitchen cabinet refacing to run as smoothly as possible from start to finish, and the best part is, the cabinet renovation process only takes a few days.

When we talk about our kitchen cabinet refacing process, you may hear us use the word “recrafting.” Our cabinet renovation process involves determining exactly what you want for your new cabinet refacing, then we use the design to custom build your 100% hardwood cabinet doors and drawer fronts. Instead of using the veneer cabinet covers that you have probably seen before, we reface your cabinets and your cabinet frames with solid hardwood, which gives your kitchen a custom-built look without the cost, or headaches of a typical cabinet renovation project.

The best part of all is that our recrafting service does not cost more than traditional kitchen cabinet refacing projects. Since all of our material is built and designed in our own facility in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch country, we are able to cut out the middle man and make your kitchen cabinet refacing project a worry free experience.

If you are looking to bring new life into your kitchen, but don’t have the big budget, or the time to have contractors running in and out of your home for the next month, kitchen cabinet recrafting is the perfect solution for you. Now is the perfect time to give your kitchen a facelift with the custom built look and feel that you have always wanted. Call Signature Kitchens today to make your dream kitchen a reality!

Kitchen Design Ideas

When you look around your kitchen, its cabinets and counter top, and finally decide that it is time to undergo a kitchen renovation, you are left with the daunting task of coming up with an entirely new design. Kitchen design ideas are seemingly endless and sometimes it can be a bit overwhelming as you begin to seriously decide on your kitchen renovation plans.

Where to Get Kitchen Design Ideas

If you are one of the lucky few who have a vision and a plan for your kitchen before you even begin the kitchen renovation project, count yourself lucky. Most people need to find inspiration for their kitchen design ideas. After all, kitchens are often thought of as the focal point in the home and people tend to congregate there during parties and social gatherings.

Kitchen design ideas can come from a number of places. One of the first places I would check out is our kitchen renovation photo gallery. There you will be able to view some great before-and-after photos of our previous work and draw some ideas from there.

Another great place to gather kitchen design ideas is at one of our 3 showrooms. Located in Haymarket, VA, Owings, MD and Elkridge, MD, these showrooms offer a ton of beautiful pieces to help inspire your own kitchen renovation. There you will be able to speak with members of our crew who will be able to point you in the right direction and offer their expertise in kitchen renovation.

Of course there are plenty of websites and magazines you can look at for kitchen design ideas as well, but sometimes for me, having the opportunity to see and touch the actual handcrafted pieces is much more inspirational when it comes to deciding on the perfect kitchen design ideas.

Stop by and visit us today, and we will be happy to show you around so you can begin your kitchen renovation project!
