Frequently Asked Questions
Below are some frequently asked questions we often hear from customers. If you have a question not answered here, please contact us.
This is a very difficult question to answer. The Wellborn cabinet line is constructed three different ways not to mention that different wood species vary in price. Also, a standard base cabinet is less expensive than the same size drawer base cabinet or a wastebasket cabinet. The choices you make will ultimately decide the price.
We carry various lines that all differ in delivery time. The semi-custom and stock cabinets from Wellborn take 3-4 weeks. Our custom line may take 6-8 weeks to be completed.
A standard kitchen if planned properly generally will take 2-3 weeks from start to finish. There needs to be good communication between the kitchen designer, the finish carpenter, the painters, the plumber, the electrician and the counter top installers. Communication is the key.
Yes, we can help you from design to installation of your cabinets.
The “work triangle” is the kitchen area from the refrigerator to the main cooking area to the main sink. Connect the three and it should form a triangle (unless you have a ‘one-wall’ kitchen). It’s important because at or immediately adjacent to the triangle’s points, all the key kitchen activities – food preparation, cooking and clean up – take place. The work triangle helps to ensure that your kitchen will be functional. It keeps cooking activities centered in one area, with all the necessities close at hand. For more information, and examples of the work triangle, please see the Wellborn site.
How much you can or should attempt to do depends on your ability and knowledge of remodeling. You’ll definitely be able to tear out old cabinets (be careful not to damage walls and beams), take up old vinyl flooring and handle trash removal. You may also want to paint or wallpaper on your own. You’re better off letting the pros handle plumbing and appliance hook-ups – if you try it on your own, you may violate building codes or invalidate manufacturer warranties. And let a professional installer put your new cabinets in so that they look their best.
