Custom, meaning “made to order” or “designed to a set of specifications,” may connote high end or big budget to many people. Yet, if you are remodeling your kitchen or bathroom, it’s hard to remove the idea of custom. After all, it is YOUR kitchen or bath, so would your plans not be built around your specifications?
The fact is, any remodeling plan for your home will involve many custom choices and they don’t have to be costly ones. However, there are places where you can reduce your cost, such as by purchasing stock cabinets. But should you? It depends on your goals.
Cabinetry will likely be the biggest decision you make for your remodel in Youngstown and across Northeast Ohio. In both kitchens and baths, especially luxury baths, the cabinets will set the style and provide the “Wow!” you are looking for in a redesign. Considering the heavy use both rooms will get and the entertainment aspect of large kitchens today, custom cabinetry may be worth a little extra investment.
Custom vs. stock cabinets
- Custom cabinets are designed and built specifically for your kitchen or bath space, giving you total flexibility.
- Stock or pre-fab cabinets are produced in various sizes and dimensions that you configure to your space.
- Your customized build will provide you with exactly the type of cabinets, features, wood and trim that you want and need for the way you use your kitchen or bath.
- When you purchase stock cabinets, you also will choose fillers, spacers, or accessories that will complete the size you need to fit your kitchen or bath, often providing the additional features and storage options you want.
- A skilled craftsman will design your custom cabinets around appliances and features you choose, using all your space efficiently.
Whether you are planning a kitchen remodel in Northeast Ohio or a bathroom remodel in Western Pennsylvania, the cabinetry will be among the most important of your decisions, so take time to consider your goals.
Well-built stock cabinets can be a great option, providing many features and a near custom look. If you are looking for a truly customized finished product, however, investing in expert remodelers and designers to build to your home’s space and specs may be worth it.
