Laminate and Cultured Marble/Granite (if installed with your vanity or kitchen) will be installed by us on the same day we install the cabinetry. Granite and Quartz is templated and installed by other companies. We will set up the template appointment usually within a week of when the cabinets are installed. Then the crew will come to install 2-3 weeks after that. So it can take 3-4 weeks after the cabinets are installed before you get your stone installed.

Typically it takes 1 day to install a kitchen. Sometimes ,though, additional time is needed. And sometimes we unable to finish because of other work that does not involve us needs to be completed before we can complete the installation. We do not install plumbing or appliances so you will have to make arrangements for that.

To place an order we need about 1/3 down. The remainder is expected at the time of delivery or installation. However, if there are stone counters still to be installed, that part of the payment is not due until those are installed. If this is not possible, please communicate with us and we will try to be as accomodating as possible.

CONVERSION VARNISH Conversion varnish is lacquer which consists of a high-end solid two-part post-catalyzed application process. What this means is that at the time of application a hardening agent must be mixed in with the lacquer to provide the additional durability.

Your cabinetry has been finished with a conversion varnish top coat. This top coat offers superior chemical and common kitchen stain resistance while maintaining color and sheen. Conversion Varnish top coat requires minimal care and cleaning. We recommend periodic cleaning with a mild detergent and water solution to remove dirt, dust, and grease that buildup with routine use. Dampen a soft non-abrasive cloth and wipe the entire exterior surface of the cabinetry. Dry with a soft cloth. Never use a wet cloth that allows water to run down the cabinetry and always dry the cabinetry immediately if water is spilled onto the surface. Care should be taken not to use abrasive cleaners, ammonia, or any other type of harsh chemical. These cleaning agents may cause discoloration, scratching, marring, and dulling of the finish. We also discourage the use of furniture polishes and waxes as they may leave a film on the surface that attracts dust and dirt. These polishes may also cause an irregular or blotchy appearance because they are unable to stand up to many common kitchen stains.
