Trying to fix my kitchen cabinet doors.please help?

November 29, 2007 By: admin Category: Kitchen 7 Comments →

allan asked:

I am trying to fix my kitchen cabinet doors. The doors use hinges which fit into clean cut depressions in the door that are circular and go into the door about 3/4 deep into it. Next to these big holes that the hinge piece fits into are two smaller holes to fasten the hinge in with screws. My problem is that these holes are so worn away no molly bolt will go into them. The holes are chewed into crap and have no ability to hold anything. I have been told that there is no type of glue or wood putty which is strong enough to take the wear of a hinge area on a door so I just figure the only way to do this is to cut into the door and make a bigger depression around the areas where the screws go in so I can glue bigger pieces of wood in and then put the screws in…Is this the best way to do this or is there an easier way? It seems so complicated and expensive buying new cabinet doors that I thought I should try this instead. any thoughts?

What else do I need to pay for kitchen remodeling?

November 23, 2007 By: admin Category: Kitchen 1 Comment →

sil asked:

I have been given a quote for a kitchen remodel. Price will include demolition, materials and installation. Materials would include all new birch shaker style cabinets, undermount sink, granite counter and full back splash so granite would go from the counter to the bottom of the wall cabinets.
I would need to pay a plumber $350 for installing faucet, dishwasher hook up and garburator. I would need to buy a new faucet, and new appliances. The gas stove place will hook it up for free
Kitchen guy said when with demolition, no electrical will be touched and will remain as is, there may be small holes in the drywall but don’t worry because the granite would cover them.
Is that true for the above two items? He also said that if there isn’t any floor tiles underneath the base cabinets, don’t worry as they would put shimmy to level it. Will this work?
What items have I forgotten?

Kitchen cabinet fell off?

November 20, 2007 By: admin Category: Kitchen 3 Comments →

Cammie asked:

A kitchen cabinet fell off but not at the hinges.There is still a bit of wood with a space in the middle for the rest of the cabinet to fit into.
What has to be done to fix this and who do I hire to fix this?
Any idea of the cost ?
I am sorry for not making myself clear.It is the cabinet DOOR, not the cabinet itself.
Thanks

Would you recommend skylights for the kitchen and bath?

November 20, 2007 By: admin Category: Kitchen 12 Comments →

sharon w asked:

We are doing some major renovations soon and I am considering installing a rectangular skylight in the kitchen and one of those new circular tube ones in the bathroom. They look cool and it would be nice to get in more natural light. I have heard stories about them leaking. I want to make sure they are not more bother then they are worth. Is it really expensive? Would it be advisable to have them installed now, while the workers are putting in the new roof?
Thanks

Contemporary kitchen cabinet color?

November 13, 2007 By: admin Category: Kitchen 5 Comments →

Amers asked:

I have a tan wall, light-colored countertops and floor, and stainless steel appliances in my kitchen. However, my cabinets have a terrible finish. I want to prime and paint them but I don’t want to do the usual white paint. I considered black or brown. Any ideas? Has anyone ever seen cabinets that have been painted brown?
