By the way, I did spend a lot of time getting quotes from local cabinet makers and found that they always came in much higher, sometimes even double the price that I could buy the materials from one of the previously mentioned sources. I’m sure there may be exceptions to this rule, but I found it wasn’t worth my time only to come up with the same conclusion each time. As much as I like supporting local business, I like businesses that support my bottom line. So, I go with the sources that make my business most successful.

In Part I of this topic, specific sources and the best value in kitchen cabinets for a Fix and Flip project were discussed. I gave real estate investors the low-down on how to get the best options going for kitchen cabinets and supplies. I also offered specific details on who offers what, and how important it is to use in-stock items. In Part II, the value in a professionally designed kitchen layout will be discussed, and tips for saving a mint on mistakes will be shown when you take the time to draw the layout beforehand.

But here is the real bonus: If you make an appointment with a kitchen specialist at many of the big box stores, they will layout your whole kitchen project for free! I like using Lowe’s Companies, Inc. because of their In-Stock maple cabinets, but many stores will do this. Let them know that you are weighing the difference in price of ordering special vs. getting the in-stock cabinets, and they will do your whole kitchen layout for you using their Computer Aided Design (CAD). Do make the distinction that you haven’t yet decided because they may not be willing to do it just for the in-stock products. It is good also to see the variation in price of the stocked vs. special order cabinets.

Did you know that many big box stores will come to the location and do field measurements, and I believe the charge for this will be included in your final purchase? If they don’t do a field measurement, you are free to bring in your kitchen dimensions and present your information to the kitchen designer, and they will work with what you have. You must provide them with complete measurements, and because you are using their in-stock products, it’s a good practice to not waste their time on scheduling a field measurement. By the way, when you take your own measurements onsite, have someone else go over them as well for verification. Mistakes in this area can be costly, but take some comfort in knowing that they can generally be returned if you use in stock items.

Drawings made will be used many times such as at time of pick up or delivery for verifying products, finishes, etc. The drawings will also be used on site for installers, plumbers, electricians, and can even be used for the city when obtaining permits for changes in electrical, plumbing and gas lines. Trust me when I tell you that you will be ahead of the game if you communicate with city officials with these drawings specifying dimensions and before-and-after renditions. You will look like you know what you are doing because you have answered all of the same questions the city wants answered while sitting with the kitchen representative. Many stores offer this feature; just know that the service is often available for free only at the big box stores.

You get a great deal of value and professionalism, and they get a loyal investor as a customer who keeps coming back for more. The only downside of the In-Stock products: Generally they don’t stock the crown molding, and the cabinet sizes available are limited. They do stock fillers and quarter-rounds, but the crown will have to be ordered and is somewhat pricey. As I recall, they stock maple and oak. White is a special order.
