About to redo my kitchen
Who did you use ?
I am about to begin doing my kitchen and frankly I'm dreading it.
In the past 5 years we've done 3 1/2 bathrooms, a basement, the roof, the windows, the siding, re landscaped, took down a deck and put down pavers, and re paved our driveway, and re did all the floors, molding and closets upstairs. I used the same contractor for most of the work but really wasn't pleased with the last job he did.
So I'm looking for a GC, who works in western Suffolk, who you've had a good experience with. As I said, I dread this job because I know what upheaval awaits me.
Also, curious as to whether you shopped your cabinets in a big box retailer, a discounter (like the places in Flushing that I've seen mentioned here), or went custom?

No personal experience but my neighbor is using Gamco to redo his kitchen and he is very happy with them. The owner I believe is also a kitchen designer.

I did my own kitchen so I can't help with that but I got my cabinets at Consumers. They are always having specials. I priced the same exact cabinets at Consumers, Lowes and HD. Consumers was significantly cheaper.
I have Kraftmaid cabinets and LOVE them.

We're getting the Kraftmade too - we loved them, good to know someone else did. Did you install yourself? That's one of the reasons why we like Lowes b/c they will install.

Yeah we did everything in the kitchen ourselves. We went right down to the studs. My dad came to live with for a month to help do all the renovations (we gutted our entire house). he had installed cabinets 3x in our houses growing up so him and I took a day and did the cabinets. So easy and now I'm so glad I know how.
I love doing home improvements and would flip houses if I had the time and money.

We bought cabinets from LIS Custom in Hicksville. It took a little long for them to come in, but it was worth the wait.

Re: About to redo my kitchen
We got the Kraftmaid from HD because of the 'no interest for 24 mos.' ...
...but it was a hassle to ensure the design and options were what we wanted. The designers at Lowe's/HD seem to follow a basic design formula for all their projects and we have our own preferences and ideas. In the end, we persisted and got what we wanted.
