New Kitchen – Keep Mice Out!

Skilton — Tue, 05 Nov 2019 21:42:05 +0000

Even with the best built kitchens with full backs there is always a possibility of mice getting in. I discovered this a couple years back. Little bugger – I actually do think they are cute but outside the house! – got into my Lazy Susan Cabinet – it squeezed between where the two doors were hinged together – they can squeeze through a dime size space.

Keep it tidy. Don’t leave crumbs overnight on the counter, floor, etc.
Bulk items in plastic bags – transfer to glass/plastic containers with lids – nothing more gross then finding mouse turd in stuff and having to throw $ in the garbage. Wish I had done that with the lazy susan cabinet from the beginning!
Inspect for areas they might be coming in and try using steel wool stuffed into spaces (think where pipes come into the sink cabinet, etc.)
Peppermint oil – mice apparently don’t like the scent. A couple of drops with 1/2 water, 1/2 vinegar for cleaning (just don’t leave wet on wood/painted finishes)
Bounce Sheets – original scent – they don’t like that scent either – so save those for cabinets that don’t contain food items.

If your cabinets are beyond mouse proofing maybe it’s time to give us a call? We specialize in custom Canadian made kitchens with solid full backs!

Happy Clients Don’t Just Happen!

Great reviews come from happy clients. How do you get happy clients, mostly by just listening and then using quality products that are going to give them the function and lasting durability. Of course there may be times where you might disagree with a client. But through respectful communication you present the pros and cons of any design or construction issue and let the client make a well informed decision.

In short, you must have a true desire to serve people and genuinely meet their needs. It also helps to provide quality products and exceptional service that you know you can stand behind.

Because we can order custom cabinets we are able to offer design flexibility to maximize space to its best use and/or customize a kitchen space to be as unique as desired. Looking for just the essentials for a new kitchen but still want long lasting quality we have that too! So whether you are looking for something as unique as you are OR just the essentials our experienced team can work hard for you!

Happy to serve kitchen remodelling and renovation services in the York Region. Local to East Gwillimbury, Keswick, Newmarket and surrounding areas.

Life Interrupted – How Long?

Skilton — Tue, 18 Jun 2019 15:55:18 +0000

A Home Renovation does mean your life is going to be interrupted. But it should only be for a set amount of time. That is why reviewing a company should be a prerequisite prior to making contact.- you need to know if the company adhere’s to reasonable timelines and actually keep them according to their clients. If the majority of the reviews support that the company kept to timelines (unless a completely unforeseen incident occurred) and showed up when they said they were going to – that may be a company worth looking into for your project. We provide a timetable in print that details who is at the job site and what is being accomplished that week and by who. This really helps our company and the client keep track of the progress being made. It takes something very unexpected or a client adding more to the renovation after it has already begun for the timetable to be shifted.

The reason some companies show up for a couple of days and then disappear is usually because of things being added to current projects. This creates chaos for all clients, and the contractors. To avoid this, we require clients with current in progress projects to be reasonable if they want to add to their project as we do not shift other client timetables in favour of their project. What then happens? If we can do it in the scheduled timetable – it may mean longer days of putting up with our crew or it may mean our company scheduling it in later. Thankfully, our crew is pretty likeable!

We are Custom Kitchens!

Skilton — Thu, 28 Mar 2019 16:11:50 +0000

Not to be confused with cheap cabinets, Pay Less Kitchens offers great savings when you are comparing our Canadian made custom kitchen cabinetry with other high end quality kitchen cabinetry companies. Not to be confused with Pre-fab, off-shore cabinetry – those would be budget friendly, but not necessarily stand the test of time cabinets. Custom made is a name that has been used too easily by pre-fab kitchen companies. True custom means your kitchen cabinets are ordered, then built and have no unreasonable size restrictions – allowing you to avoid unnecessary filler pieces and built to the floor plan that works for your home. If our name could have been longer we would have said “Pay Less for Quality Custom Kitchen Cabinets Then So and So’s Company” – but that seemed a little long for a name – and difficult to fit onto our signage and installer t-shirts. To know more about our company check out the rest of our website!
