When it comes to cleaning the kitchen, most homeowners focus on the big three: the sink, counters, and floors. It’s easy to forget that the kitchen cabinets need regular attention too, especially the doors. Every day, cabinets collect tiny droplets of cooking grease, food splatters, and steam.

Although it may seem tedious, cleaning kitchen cabinets is neither difficult nor does it require the use of strong, toxic chemicals. Whether your cabinets are painted or finished wood, you only need a bit of effort and a few…... Read Article

Remodeling your kitchen comes with its share of big decisions. Of course, the biggest decision is choosing the right contractor. Finding a reliable contractor who can deliver quality work is not as simple as picking out kitchen fixtures or faucets from a catalog. There’s a lot more to it than preference and budget, and it’s easy to get overwhelmed.

Choose poorly (or not at all) and you’ll likely end up spending more money, wasting valuable time, and dealing…... Read Article
