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!

Going Green

Signature WoodCrafters parent company, Signature Companies is a stair and rail manufacturer (as well as cabinet provider) for home builders in the Mid-Atlantic region. We supply stairs and rails for all kinds builders, from the big guys like K. Hovnanian Enterprises, Centex, D.R. Horton, and Winchester Homes to smaller custom home builders.

Signature Companies was recently mentioned in an article post by Sarah Yaussi of Hanley Wood's Big Builder Online publication. Sarah had gone to Hovnanian's Landover Group home that they are building in conjunction with the Department of Energy. This house is a test home for new energy-conscious building products. I can personally attest to Khov's Landover Group's dedication to going green and participating in both the regional and national dialogue in regards to what "Going Green" means in the building industry.

The stair system that Sarah mentions in her article is called the Ultimate Tread, and is actually very similar to our Stair ReCrafting product. You can check out Signature Companies website and click on the Downloads portion of the site to view more about the benefits of using the Ultimate Tread in new construction projects.

In the meanwhile, check out the Big Builder article!! Thanks again to Sarah for mentioning us!

Where Has the Time Gone?

Before you know it, it is almost time for the holidays and Thanksgiving is right around the corner! It has been a while since I update this blog, for which I apologize to everyone. But there have been many exciting things going on at Signature WoodCrafters, it has been hard to remember to stay in touch!

We participated in three home shows this past fall. One located in Germantown, MD, another at the Dulles Expo Center in Chantilly, VA, and our final show was at Upper Marlboro, MD. We met many interested homeowners who seemed to be very interested in our products and took a lot of our literature, so hopefully that bodes well!

We also have completed a wide range of installs over the past months of kitchens, stairs, and rails and the results are frankly stunning. It is amazing to see some of these kitchens go from such eyesores to genuinely beautiful places. The stairs are even more amazing - you have no idea how such a transformation can completely change the appearance of your home! I will be publishing a few of these slideshows shortly so that people can see our beautiful products.

We have also made many updates on our website, www.signaturewoodcrafters.com, including our Sample Projects page. This page has turned into our best sales tool because of the fact that we list pricing estimates directly on the page. There are more enhancements that we need to do, as the kiss of death of a website is for it to remain static, but we are off to a fantastic start!

Stay tuned for some truly stunning before and after pictures!

Welcome!

Welcome everyone to the new Signature WoodCrafters blog!

It is only fitting that the new consumer-direct division of Signature Companies should have a voice that reaches out to its consumers - hence, this blog. We are looking forward to advancing the communication lines between us and our customers, and sincerely hope that this will provide a forum to do so. A bit of information about us:

As the tag line of our blog states, Signature WoodCrafters is the new consumer-direct division of Signature Companies, a 25-year old company that supplies cabinetry, stairways and railings, built-in cabinetry, and countertops to the Mid-Atlantic region. We are home of the new Stair and Kitchen ReCrafting - two products that separate us from your normal, run-of-the mill kitchen refacing/remodeling companies, and flooring companies that inadequately supply you with a hardwood solution to your carpeted stairs.

We have had some incredible success so far, participating in three home shows and launching several marketing campaigns throughout the Northern Virginia area. Check out these Before and After pictures from a couple of our completed jobs and contact us today at info@signaturewoodcrafters.com to find out how you can get a free, no-obligation estimate for our ReCrafting services! Be sure to visit our website also at http://www.signaturewoodcrafters.com/ for more information about our products!
