Remodel, Recondition, Mini-Maker Over, Tune-Up, Spruce-Up, Touch-up…

Call It What You Want, But Just Call Us

So what word best describes what you want to do with your kitchen? Remodel? OK, but what does that mean to you? Do you want to do a full remodeling project where all the cabinets & countertops are removed and replaced? Maybe walls are removed, or even an addition is a possibility.

Well for many people, “remodel simply means that they want to give their kitchen a “facelift” or any of the other words used above. Sawhill has always done these types of projects, though we just simply call these projects – “Partials.”. But “partial” doesn’t mean much to most people, and many people don’t realize what a great investment these types of projects can be. Yes, even in this current economy and housing market.

So what do some of these projects involve? Let’s take a Kitchen Mini-Makeover or Kitchen Facelift for example. These could mean just some new countertops and some new cabinet knobs & hinges. Or maybe just new cabinet doors and drawer fronts, or just refinish the existing cabinets. Is that all you want done? No problem Sawhill Kitchens has the resources to get this done, and manage the project for you.

New countertops certainly make one of the biggest impacts when doing a kitchen facelift, but don’t forget about the backsplash area (the wall space between the countertops and the bottom of the upper cabinets). There are so many great possibilities to select from - ceramic tile, porcelain tile, stone, even metal. Our designers can help you select just the right product to coordinate with your countertops, cabinets, flooring and walls.

These projects can sometimes involve new flooring too, or new appliances and plumbing fixtures. Maybe you want to add an island, or modify some existing cabinets for some new appliances. How about also adding a wine rack, spice rack or even replacing a few doors with glass inserts? And don’t forget lighting. Our Sawhill designers are happy to help with design, selection process and project management of any of these projects.

Another popular service that we offer to our clients is a tune-up or reconditioning of their kitchen that maybe is only a few years old or older. Just like your car needs a tune up, so do kitchens at some point in time. Our designers can arrange to have one of our craftsmen adjust doors, and drawers, and other cabinet related adjustments or minor touch-up. We also have specialists who can come in and take care of more major touch-up or refinishing of the cabinetry. And don’t forget your countertops. Corian and other solid surfacing countertops are wonderful products, but they can scratch and even look stained. Did you know that we can have those countertops re-sanded, and “buffed-up” so they almost look new? Minor chips can sometimes be filled too!

These days natural granite and stone is the probably the most common countertop material used. These are beautiful products, but do require some maintenance. We can arrange to have those granite countertops re-sealed, and maybe re-caulk the joint at the backsplash area. Sure, you could do this yourself, just like you could probably change the oil in your car. But when’s the last time you did that? Let a professional rejuvenate those beautiful countertops!

You see there are a lot of ways to Spruce-Up your kitchen, but we’re not limited to just painting the walls or ceiling. But we can do that too! So if you need something done in your kitchen, don’t worry what to call your kitchen remodeling project, just call Sawhill and speak with one of our designers. They’ll be happy to explain how we can help. Oh, and what about repair work on appliances? We’ll be happy to just get you the telephone number of the factory authorized service agent, even if you didn’t purchase the appliance from us. That’s just another example of Sawhill’s commitment to Unrelenting Service.
