Lets talk new kitchens and the steps to get you into your own handcrafted kitchen.
 
We recognize that a new build or a reno can be a daunting proposition for most people. We are here to assure you that we will try and make the process as seamless as possible. We have come to find out  that the process is much easier for everyone if we have great communication and know that we can look at obstacles together to work through a solution. That being said we have found that we become very connected to our clients and enjoy the relationship that builds as we work through the process. 
 
Of course, each kitchen is unique and will require personalized attention but for the most part, the steps  listed below can help prospective clients have a bit of a guide to understand the steps as they head into their project. .
 
Step 1. Contact. Make contact to book an appointment. Easy enough to do: email rourkecabinets@gmail.com or call 506 832 3716.
 
Step 2. New or reno? Your homework to complete before the first meeting is to have answers to the following questions if possible.
  •    New build or renovation of an existing kitchen?
  •    Floor plan layout. Do you have a plan or not quite sure? Not sure about this totally? No problem. We can talk you through this and help with some decision making.
 
Step 3. Idea file. Have you been looking at kitchens online or in magazines and been keeping an “ideas” file? Perhaps some printouts of inspiring kitchens and details you really like? Include in this idea file your preferences for painted or natural wood, or a combination of both. Maybe the style you really like. Is it Traditional, Transitional, or Scandinavian for instance? Keep in mind small details, colour or hardware preferences that you admire in your inspiration kitchens.
 
The top 5 natural wood kitchens trending now would be quarter sawn White Oak, Cherry, Walnut, Maple or Birch.

A painted kitchen? The finish we apply is a top quality polyurethane, - clear on a natural wood kitchen or tinted to your preferred colour. This past year, the choices have been mainly off white, or a light shade of gray. The new colours trending with the paint companies for 2024 are shown below.

Keep in mind our finish can be tinted to your colour choice.
 
Step 4. Once we have this information nailed down we can proceed with a quote and or a site visit.
 
Step 5. Next, we create the elevation drawings of your new kitchen.
 
Step 6. Usually involves a site visit and actual measurements are taken. Appliance choices and sink specifications are determined.
 
Step 7. Kitchen installation.
 
Keep in mind that each kitchen can present with unique challenges and obstacles, but we are here to support you through the process. With the demand for kitchens, it is good practice to make the initial contact as early in your planning process as possible. 
 
We look forward to meeting you and starting the process.
PS - “START THE CONVERSATION”. The more lead time, the better.
