My name is Darren Maynes, founder and owner of Alternate Route Construction. We are located in Smyrna, Delaware. We specialize in finish carpentry and woodworking; such as Crown moulding, Wainscoting, Coffered ceilings, Accent walls, Ship lap, Panel moulding, Custom woodworking, and Historic renovations; However, we cover all phases of construction; including handyman services, tile, drywall, painting, plumbing, kitchens, bathrooms, and more.
"Darren and his team installed new, super-sturdy and beautiful handrails on a set of stairs at my father's home. Darren was friendly and helpful throughout the process, and eager to brainstorm to give us what we needed. It was a relatively small job, but Darren worked carefully and conscientiously, and he explained everything thoroughly to my father. We love the new rails and would hire him again in a second."

My name is Patsy Cicala Jr., I am the recipient of the Super Service Award for 2016 -2022 from Angie's List. BEST WAY TO GET IN TOUCH IS pcicala1@gmail.com, or call 302-245-5606. I retired here 11 years ago in Sussex County after a rewarding career in the field of Environmental Science and General Contracting in upstate New York. When you retire, you should have an exit plan.... I, however, am finding sitting down to read a book or taking a long stroll on the beach will result in either me being placed in a mental institution, or being shot by my wife (she says I am driving her crazy). Therefore, after renovating three homes in the area, I have decided to offer my services as a handyman. My wife says that I can do small repairs including bathrooms, kitchens, and small additions, porches and decks, Check out my Photo Gallery to see if I can fulfill your needs
"I was very pleased with Something Constructive. Patsy is a great guy, very personable, and you quickly feel like family. He is creative, has a keen eye, and is a great problem solver. He and his crew are great – so pleasant and respectful. I actually enjoyed seeing them each day! They work together well, are meticulous – the work quality is excellent, and they were very neat. My neighbors were very impressed with how nicely they maintained the area while working. Patsy and his crew stayed on schedule and he is really good at keeping you posted along the way. I highly recommend!!!"

The average cost to install cabinet hardware is $300 nationwide, with a range from $100 to $10,000, depending on project scope. Most standard installations cost between $7 and $30 per piece including both materials and labor. For an average kitchen with 20-40 hardware pieces, expect to pay $120 to $2,400 total. Material selection significantly affects pricing, with basic options starting at $1 to $5 per piece while premium materials like brass ($5-$200) or crystal ($3-$75) command higher prices.
The 1/3 rule for cabinet hardware suggests selecting pulls that measure approximately one-third the height of cabinet doors and one-third the width of drawers for optimal visual proportion. For example, a 24-inch wide drawer would look best with an 8-inch pull, while a 30-inch tall cabinet door might use a 10-inch handle. This guideline helps create balanced aesthetics but should be considered flexible based on your specific cabinet style and personal preferences.
Cabinet hardware installation costs can escalate due to several factors beyond basic labor. Premium materials significantly impact price, with high-end options like brass, bronze, or crystal ranging from $5 to $200 per piece compared to basic options at $1 to $10. Ornate or specialty hardware requires precise placement and sometimes specialized tools. If existing cabinets need repair, refinishing, or custom templates for consistent placement, these services add to the total expense. Finally, large kitchens with numerous cabinets naturally multiply the overall project cost.
