Kwa Zulu Kitchens

Order time varies depending on the manufacturer and the complexity of the job. The minimum time is roughly three weeks and can be as much as eight weeks during peak times of the year.

We can certainly start with a sketch you provide. Your forethought in doing some homework can shorten the time needed to design the final layout. However, we will always do our own measurements to verify that the design will actually work.

Kwa Zulu Kitchens represents several manufacturers across the price spectrum and are able to deliver on your Eco-friendly needs

Kwa Zulu Kitchens specializes in “light” kitchen, office, or laundry room remodeling. We have strong full-line remodeling teams for those jobs that require major structural renovation.

There are many possible countertop choices. As with cabinets, your budget needs to be matched with your desire for flexibility of design and product longevity. Laminate, solid surface, quartz-enhanced and granite are all good choices.

All woods and stains change color over time—some more so than others. In many cases, Kwa Zulu Kitchens can find cabinetry that may be compatible with your existing cabinets or furniture. In no case can we guarantee an exact match. But we can resolve that with Wraps 🙂 Ask us about it.

While popular cabinet styles and trends vary from year to year, traditional raised-panel oak styling is always a favorite due to affordability and durability. A current trend is a “stand-alone” furniture look that allows for highly customized design features using cabinetry from major manufacturers.

Besides oak, certain wood species tend to be favored by today’s consumers. Maple is frequently used in remodeling because of its clean look and its ability to blend in with most existing finishes. Cherry has become increasingly popular as manufacturers have developed a variety of finishes allowing it to work in more applications.

Years ago there was a significant difference in the sizes and finishes available from “custom” cabinetmakers and the “stock” manufacturers. Today, many cabinet manufacturers offer custom sizing and finishes that rival, and may even exceed, the possibilities of a local custom cabinet shop.

Kwa Zulu Kitchens does not charge a measure fee or a design fee for a first design or estimate. In some cases, where multiple design revisions are requested, a design retainer may be requested. That retainer is then credited in full to the final cost of the job. In most cases we absorb the cost 🙂
