What is the first step when thinking about remodeling?
Start collecting magazine articles and pictures, start a project file,
keep notes on what you like and don’t like in your current kitchen.
Start a wish list for your new kitchen. View our kitchen and bath
displays online. Se e our links page, our manufacturing websites offer a
myriad of choices.
How to get a quote?
When you’re ready for a quote, call to book an appointment with one of our designers.
Can’t I just come in?
Of course you can but there may be people with appointments ahead of you.
How does the process work?
After making an appointment, you should bring some basic
measurements with you, so we can begin planning your space. We will look
at the different doorstyles and colour choices we have available to see
what will work best in your home. Your designer will go over the
information you bring and answer any questions you might have. After the
appointment we will work up preliminary drawings to prepare a quote.
What to expect when I go for my first appointment?
We will work with you to determine your needs, look at products in our showroom and have a question and answer session.
Does it pay to use professional trades people?
Do it once, do it right. We use only skilled experienced tradesmen with insurance and WSIB clearance.
Does a kitchen or bathroom renovation increase the value of our home?
Always. According to the Appraisal Institute of Canada it will yield a 75-100% return on investment.
Who does the rest of the job (plumbing, electrical, drywall, flooring)?
Clawsie Kitchens specializes in cabinet and countertop installations. We
are a member of the Brantford Homebuilders Association which gives us
access to the industries’ top professionals. We can recommend the
tradespeople you require and liaise with them regarding your timeline.
We do not mark up this service to you, thus eliminating the "middle
man".
Do you come to our home to measure?
We offer a no charge estimate if you bring in your measurements. If you
decide to proceed to an order we come to your house to verify your
dimensions prior to order. We are always ready to be of assistance.
Do you sell appliances?
No, but we have a relationship with Sears Canada Inc. located in
Brantford. Our customers receive special treatment upon referral from
us.
How much does a new kitchen cost?
We ask that you set a budget. Our job is to give you as much as we can within that budget.
Who delivers your cabinets?
We deliver on our own truck with our own delivery people.
What about after sales service?
We have a full time service person available to address your concerns.
Who makes your kitchens?
We have searched out the best of manufacturers to suit every budget and style.
