Through time there has been this endless battle between a man’s wallet and his pride with the main argument being “why would I pay for that when I can do this myself?” This includes the battle of upgrading to cable from TV you’ve got for free, paying a mechanic to fix something you can do yourself, and now paying for finished custom kitchen cabinets when you can finish them yourself.

Through time there has been this endless battle between a man’s wallet and his pride with the main argument being “why would I pay for that when I can do this myself?” This includes the battle of upgrading to cable from TV you’ve got for free, paying a mechanic to fix something you can do yourself, and now paying for finished custom kitchen cabinets when you can finish them yourself.
This struggle presents itself when homeowners attempt to save costs or place their own personal touch onto the cabinets. However, when it comes down to it, what you’re saving may not be worth the risk of messing up what you’ve already paid so much for.
If you’re looking to upgrade your kitchen cabinets, be aware that they provide a very high value of return, especially on the west coast and around Arizona. As an example, we’ll use Arizona Kitchen Cabinets as the biggest gamble of investment.
If you’ve gone as far as investing into custom kitchen cabinets in your home, you should be 100% aware of all your options. Before choosing a company solely based on price, find out what services they offer for the price they quoted. Do their services include building, installation, finishing, delivery etc.? If you find out what they’re doing with the money you give them, ask how much the service alone costs to finish the cabinets. In most cases, the easy part of the building process is the painting and finishing so it will be a smaller portion of the expense.
Whether you have already decided on a contractor or if you are still looking for more information, it is a good idea to go to their showrooms and take a close look at some of the work that they have on display. Closely examine the finishes on their products and all of the intricate details that they involve. It’s a good idea to ask a representative what specific steps they take to get their results.
Now you have to ask yourself if you can do what they’re doing. This is not something that you should try to figure out on the way.- But on the other hand, if your woodworking skills are established enough to pull this off, you can save a little bit of money by doing it yourself.
However, even if you believe that you can pull off the finishing job that your contractor is doing, consider the costs of stain, brushes, rags, sealants, potential to install yourself and the effects of that smell in your house for a week.
It is a good idea to find out where you can cut expenses and still get very high quality products. However, when it comes to your custom kitchen cabinets, you’ve already spent this much money on them, and they could potentially turn out to be worthless if the finishing job is not done right.
Before you try your luck out on professional woodworking with your expensive custom kitchen cabinets, consider the cost of repercussions if they turn out less than superior.
