2.  How long does it take to do or re-do my kitchen?
  

answer
Each job is different. Sometimes the selection process itself takes weeks or even months. Other times all decisions are made very rapidly. Once this hurdle is overcome and the cabinets are on order, we stockpile all other components in our storage area so that when the cabinets arrive everything is ready to go. Most cabinet deliveries take 3 to 6 weeks. Once we start a job, we will work as steadily as we are able, given the coordination challenges of the various subcontractors required for your job. Our promise to you is that we will stay attentive to your project until it is complete. Some smaller jobs are done in two to three weeks; other larger jobs can take as long as a month.

3. What happens to all of the old cabinets that come out of our home?

answer
If you can use parts of it in your garage or want to give it to a friend for a cottage, we ask that you work with us as it comes out . This allows you to know how it goes back together again. If it is usable and you do not want to deal with it, we will see that it goes to an organization that will put it to good use for area families less fortunate than ourselves Otherwise, we remove everything and properly dispose of it.

4. How much does a kitchen cost?

answer
Like cars or weddings or vacations the range of budgets is wide. A small kitchen using our entry-level products can be remodeled for $3,000 to $5,000. Larger kitchens using custom products can reach over $35,000. Knowing your investment capabilities and relative value of your home are good indicators of a wise dollar investment. In new construction, a rule of thumb is that approximately 10 to 15% of the total market value should be allocated for custom cabinetry.

5.  What can I expect to receive after the designer has completed our drawings?

answer
Your floor plans and elevations are always available to review in our showroom. Your designer will prepare perspective drawings, which will give you three-dimensional views of your proposed project, and these drawings can be taken home and are yours to keep. Floor plans and elevations are the drawings that will eventually be used to specify exactly how your cabinets and related products are to be installed. Final engineering is not completed until all decisions are made and a contract has been signed. Because of this, we do not release floor plans until a job is sold. Once you have purchased your project, you will be given a complete set of plans.

6. Why are the plans for my kitchen copyrighted?

answer
There are two reasons your plans are copyrighted. First, each kitchen or custom cabinetry project we work on is unique and will never be duplicated in the future. This guarantees that your project is a one-of-a-kind original. Second, because the plans are the technical engineering directions on how the project should be carried out, it is important that Sunbright Designs be involved in implementing the plan. Copyrighted plans cannot be legally used by another firm to execute your project.

This guarantees you a completed project that is going to meet your most exacting standards. In the words of one of our major suppliers "You expect the best and we never settle for less".

8.  Do you do re-facing of existing cabinets?
