  1. It's quite common for additional costs like extra drawers to come up during the renovation process. To avoid feeling blindsided, always request a detailed quote upfront, specifying the number of drawers, shelves, and any other elements. Including a miscellaneous cost section in the contract can help manage expectations for any changes or additions. Consulting with multiple contractors for quotes can also provide a clearer picture of potential hidden costs.
  2. For termite-proof custom cabinets, consider materials like metal, marine plywood, or high-quality MDF with proper treatment. Ensure the new cabinets are coated with termite-resistant finishes and regularly maintain them. Many RenoTalk members have recommended reliable carpenters and custom cabinet makers who can help you choose the best materials and finishes. You might want to explore those recommendations for a more durable and termite-resistant solution.
  3. Building cabinetry above your existing kitchen cabinets can be a great way to utilize the extra space, especially with a 3.2m ceiling height. Consider using it for less frequently used items to avoid it becoming a dust magnet. As for leather handles, they can add a unique touch but ensure they are treated to handle kitchen conditions. Regular maintenance will keep them looking good. Consulting a reliable carpenter from RenoTalk can provide custom solutions that meet your needs.

Professional Service: Sometimes, a detailed inspection by a qualified technician is necessary.
  5. Re-laminating cabinets with ABS trimming is definitely possible. Here are some tips to ensure a successful project: Preparation: Make sure the surface is clean and free from any dirt or grease before starting.

Skilled Carpenter: Hiring a skilled carpenter experienced in re-lamination can make a significant difference. Many RenoTalk members have recommended reliable carpenters, so you might want to check their suggestions. Good luck with your project!

Hire a professional carpenter if structural changes are needed.
  13. Yes, it is possible to re-laminate cabinets with ABS trimming, but it requires careful handling.

Make sure to hire a professional with good reviews from RenoTalk to ensure the best results.
  14. Both quartz and sintered stone are excellent choices for kitchen platforms. Quartz is durable, non-porous, and offers a wide range of colors. Sintered stone is highly resistant to heat, scratches, and stains. While 12mm thickness is common, opting for 20mm can provide added durability and a more substantial look. Ensure your contractor is experienced with the material you choose for the best results. You might also consider consulting other professionals recommended by RenoTalk members.
