Kitchen renovation can be challenging. From planning to execution, there are several things to decide and ensure it goes smoothly. While the contractor will install a new kitchen with exciting features, you must inspect it during and after the renovations. Whether you are getting complete kitchen renovation or kitchen cabinet refinishing Barrie services, ensuring everything has turned out as you want is essential.
Here’s what you should inspect during and after kitchen renovations.
Alignment
Most cabinet hinges used today will provide a smooth and seamless alignment. However, you must check the alignment of each door and drawer. Ensure the tolerance level of each hinge is no more than 1/8”. Also, ensure the cabinet surface has a continuous plane. It can be detrimental if you are installing granite countertops. You need the cabinet surface to be in a continuous plane to install granite countertops. So, ensure to check that!
Cleanliness
You can check for cleanliness during and after the kitchen renovation. Cleanliness is a sign of great workmanship. A single nail lying in the cabinet can be an honest mistake. However, if the contractor and workers aren’t prompt in cleaning the area, especially hazardous materials such as stray fasteners, it can indicate poor workmanship.
Moving elements
Most cabinets use a ball-bearing roller system these days. Hence, the movement of the moving elements should be smooth without any resistance. If you are getting the kitchen cabinet refinishing Barrie services, check the movement of the doors and drawers. There should be minimal resistance and no noise. The contractor must install bumpers to reduce the noise and vibration. If you have specialty items such as Lazy Susan’s, it must move smoothly without any glitches.
Finish
Swipe your hands on each surface when inspecting the kitchen cabinets and other elements after renovation. It helps you notice any tacks or hidden nails around. Moreover, check for any obvious difference in colour or cabinet smoothness. There should be no puddling of paint on the cabinet surface. If you are using wooden cabinets, there might be a difference in colour between two cabinet doors. However, there is no room for colour difference or patchy work with cabinet paint jobs.
