Home owners often
go to the large Home Improvement stores for services actually
being provided by other local contractors, and pay a lot more
than if they had dealt directly with the local contractor
themselves.
Pacific Reglazing
is a local contractor servicing the greater Los Angeles area. We
take care of you every step of the way. A kitchen remodeling
project is an important and personal process, and needs personal
and undivided
attention. This is something Pacific Reglazing understands.
In addition to finding a quality door
style right for you, be sure to ask yourself these questions
before choosing a store or contractor:
-
How many different people are you dealing
with? (should only be about 1 or 2)
-
Will the designer or salesman actually see your kitchen?
(Necessary for real personal service and convenience)
-
How many different contractors will be
working on your project? (a simple project should not
require additional contractors)
-
Does the estimate given include all charges?
(make sure to compare apples with apples, additional charges
are often hidden)
What to expect from Pacific
Reglazing.
-
A representative will come out to your home
to show you cabinet door samples, take measurements, and
discuss your options. He will either give you a price
on the spot or set up a second appointment to review the
final bid at your home and at your convenience.
-
Once a final order is placed the material
will generally take about 7-10 business days and will be
delivered to your home.
-
Scheduling of the project is coordinated with the Project
Manager and our own installers do the work as scheduled.
Our work is carried out by Pacific Reglazing
employees. We very rarely use outside contractors and will
tell you if this is necessary for some reason.
What does it cost?
Our re-facing services are extremely
competitive. We have seen bids as high as three times our
price for the same service. The large stores and many
contractors use loose pricing methods that have a large mark-up
so that a safe price can easily be given by a salesman. A
common example is to simply count the number of doors and
multiply this by a an inflated multiplier, or to measure the
square footage of cabinet face and multiply that by a
per-square-foot multiplier. These methods only work for
the contractor because they use an inflated, safe multiplier
with room for variations that occur. Home improvement
stores charge an additional mark-up on the contractors price,
further inflating the cost.
We actually do a full and detailed price work.
This ensures we are giving you the best price we can give, and
there are no middle-man price mark-ups either since you are
dealing direct.
What is the Installation Process?
Once materials arrive we do a material inspection.
This is performed to ensure that
ALL material arrives in acceptable condition to start
installation.
Upon completion of the material inspection, the
installation is scheduled.
We will cover all door openings,
walkways, and passages with plastic, plus floor surfaces as
necessary.
Next we remove existing doors and drawer
fronts We then remove any cabinet moldings that are going
to be replaced. We remove any loose and/or peeling coatings,
any depressions in the wood we will fill in with wood putty.
We then electric sand down your frames to insure
that a high quality bone will take place. We now prepare all
your existing exposed cabinet frames to accept the self-adhesive
coverings or laminate. Next, all
sides, rails, and stiles are finished.
We flush out the underside of your upper
cabinets to ensure a quality look and prevent dirt build from
underneath your cabinets.
Next, your beautiful new door and drawer fronts
are installed.
All moldings, toe kicks, bumper pads and hinges
are installed.
We then inspect our work with you from top to
bottom to insure your complete satisfaction.
