Knowles Contracting & Flooring

If you are in need of a complete kitchen makeover, it will likely start with the kitchen cabinets. This can be a difficult choice with so many options from which to choose - but it's easier than you might think. Let us help you to realize the kitchen of your dreams with a budget that won't give you nightmares! While custom cabinetry offers the greatest freedom in terms of design, as it is made to complete specification, it is also more costly and has the greatest lead time. Often, semi-custom or stock cabinetry can afford nearly the same design at reduced budget.

Make convenience a top priority. For efficient use of space, imagine three lines that connect the sink, stove, and refrigerator; this triangle represents the path of your working footsteps and should ideally be between 12 and 23 feet. Add an island to divide large kitchen spaces into functional work areas. Islands may contain a sink or cook top, provide an eating counter, control traffic, create more work space, and add storage. We offer discounts for a full complement of kitchen cabinetry manufacturers.

In a typical bath remodeling project, tile plays the largest role. Floors, shower or bath stalls, tub decks and surrounds - there is normally extensive tile work involved. Design alternatives, such as mixing textures, sizes and colors, and creating decorative borders and inlays can create stunning results. Choose our expert installation staff to ensure your bath tile is as functional as it is beautiful and will withstand the test of time. Adding details like this recessed shelf adds glamour and functionality.

Backsplashes make a huge statement and can bring glamour into your kitchen at budget-friendly prices because of the relatively small area. Choose from ceramic, glass, steel or natural stone tile - and more! Mix and match colors and textures. Create mosaic patterns. The possibilities are seemingly endless. Ceramic tile backsplashes are the most affordable and can be just as elegant, if not more so, than their more expensive counterparts. This backsplash in simple white ceramic is enhanced by creating borders and changing tile direction - simple yet sophisticated!

Let your kitchen shine with just the right lighting fixtures. We often hear our customers say that the lighting is the part of the remodeling job that they like the best and that they could not do without. We agree - lighting makes all the difference. We can suggest lighting alternatives that will enhance your design and have you wondering how you ever lived without them. A well-designed chandelier can also add both form and function to your newly remodeled kitchen. Updating chandeliers over your kitchen or dining table can pull the entire design together, and is a natural finishing touch for your project.
