Select Granite or Marble Slabs. You can look to your heart's content (and your mind's confusion) early on, but you can't select your countertop slabs until a week to 10 days before your countertops are to be installed. That happens right after the cabinets are put in place and just before the appliances are installed. Kermit will help you with the detail and review the number of and size of slabs you need to select. With so many slabs to choose from, this can be overwhelming. A restocking charge is applied if you change your mind after you have selected your slabs. Install Cabinets and Plumbing. Another tip we discovered the hard way: If your sinks and appliances arrive early - they must be sitting in the home before the cabinetry is installed - do not assume you received what you ordered, even if it says so on the box! Be there when your contractor opens the boxes - upon their arrival - to make sure you both agree you received the right items. This is also a critical time, when staying on top of your projected installation schedule is important. Wiring has to be done before cabinets are installed. This means phone wiring too, if you have a kitchen phone jack that will be surrounded by granite. World Class Improvements & Lifestyles - Kermit Lennick - Your General Contractor Sometimes the homeowner decides they can serve as the project coordinator - and handle all the mentioned detail - Don't - Instead leave this task to the General Contractor - Kermit will oversee the different suppliers to be sure the schedule is maintained. Otherwise the lack of coordination can create unfortunate confusion, delays and errors. Everything needs to be in writing. It takes extra time, but the results are worth it. Keep in mind that remodeling requires a lot of vendors to dovetail into the same groove. You will always have a few rough edges to smooth out. Maintaining a sense of humor and an aggressive position will see you through. The primary merit test of any supplier is in how they handle their deliverable. Again, with 30 years in the business, Kermit Lennick of WCI&L is here to make your remodeling a wonderful experience! Enjoy your new home! Click HERE for some of our "After" pictures.
