It was 1979 and a smart business idea called cabinet refacing had captured Jost Flecks imagination. Joe, as he preferred to be called, recognized it as a smart way for homeowners to have a new kitchen that might otherwise have been beyond their budget. Instead of tearing out the whole kitchen, sturdy cabinets could be covered. He realized, though that consumers might worry that was only a temporary solution, so he devised a method for cabinet refacing that was so reliable and permanent he backed it with a Lifetime of Home Ownership Warranty.
"We are been working for the last 5 years in remodeling our house little by little, so far , this was the worse experience of our lives, nothing was done as we talk to the sales person, took more then twice of the amount of time to finish, because was a one man show, he and he alone did everything, so took forever to finish. We didn?t have a sink for over a month. Plumber was a ?fill the blank?so bad , we need to pay for our own plumbing. I am sure others have very good experience, ours was hell. Worse experience ever in any project of our house, I regret and i will hate my kitchen, If i ever get enough money, i will re do it in a hard bit. Worse company ever , Is nothing Magic about that company at all !!!!!! No stars, minus 5 stars from us"

Hi, I’m Danny, and I take pride in delivering high-quality craftsmanship. I approach every project with the same care and attention to detail as if I were working in my own home. My goal is to provide professional, reliable service while ensuring my clients are completely satisfied with the results.
"Danny was professional, consulted me before changing any design style,, and was clean and timely on site. The gate was in a difficult spot, and at an off angle relative to the pool, but Dan made it work and after some testing and movement, we agreed on a good spot and style for the platform and gate. Very happy with the results, and it functions and works exactly as I needed it too."

Built-in cabinets can enhance property value by combining practical storage with architectural appeal. These permanent fixtures often appeal to potential buyers, particularly when crafted from quality materials and designed thoughtfully. The value increase varies depending on construction quality, material selection, and how well the design complements the home's overall aesthetic. Well-executed built-ins can make spaces more marketable and potentially increase sale prices.
Prefabricated cabinets cost significantly less than custom-built options. Stock cabinets offer standardized sizes and features at more affordable prices, while custom work requires skilled craftsmanship and made-to-order materials. However, custom cabinets provide a perfect fit for unusual spaces and precise style matching. The decision often depends on budget constraints, space requirements, and whether standard sizes adequately meet your needs.
Installation timelines vary considerably based on project complexity. Simple bookcase installations require only a few days, while elaborate entertainment centers or whole-room systems can extend to several weeks. The process includes initial design, fabrication, and on-site installation phases. Material availability, design revisions, and existing structural conditions can all affect completion times. Most medium-sized projects take approximately one to two weeks from start to finish.
Medium-density fiberboard (MDF) provides the best balance between affordability and performance for painted cabinets. This engineered material offers smooth surfaces ideal for paint finishes at lower costs than solid wood. For stained applications, less expensive hardwoods like poplar or pine provide reasonable durability with more economical pricing. The most cost-effective choice depends on your specific application, finish preferences, and expected lifespan requirements.
Most straightforward cabinet installations don't require permits. However, if your project involves structural modifications, electrical work for integrated lighting, or changes to load-bearing elements, permits may be necessary. Requirements vary by municipality, so checking with local building authorities before beginning is advisable. Professional installers can guide you through permit requirements when needed.
