Date: Thu, 08 Apr 93 13:03:21 -0400 Message-ID: <23995.734288601@G.GP.CS.CMU.EDU> From: "Karen Haigh" I went to a whole set of places to look at cabinets. Prices are for my kitchen, no counter Ikea: worst quality (by miles) 1/10 lowest price (by only a little) $1100 essentially no service Sear's/Hechinger's best quality (by only a little) 9/10 highest price (by miles) $5000 plus Sears: had to come in to house to give quote Hech : computer layout. Answered some questions. Reasonable service good to plan where things go. Excel (1800 5th Ave. 261-0166) good quality - cumstom 8/10 - 50/10 good price - extremely high $2200 for non-custom kitchen extremely good service -- lots of questions answered, good (non-slimy) salesmen... No layout, though. C&C Builder's Supply (Tars, PA. 696-5761) good quality 8/10 best price $1500 mediocre service. DON'T GO ON WEEKENDS. It's packed. My salesman, Dennis Barrick, was extremely slow & ignored me. Find someone else. Had good computer layout. My suggestion: shop in town 'til you know what you want, then go to C&C and tell them.

Any recommendations? >Disrecomendations? > >Thanks >dave redish First of all, get a good architect. I can recommend several: Tai + Lee 3114 Brereton Ave. Pgh PA 15219 681-8832 [CMU grads and Steve Lee teaches at CMU now] Doug Cooper/Sherry McKibben 7025 Edgerton Ave Pgh PA 15208 241-0381 [my neighbors--work for a big downtown firm] Then you need a good contractor. The guy who did our kitchen did good work but took forever and it turns out that we were his last job before he folded and ran away with other people's money. But again, I have two recommendations: Joint Builders 363-0100 [they did some work on our house--excellent job but not cheap] John Cummings 421 Lloyd Street Pgh PA 15208 371-9105 [a neighbor--I've seen his work and it is excellent and I know that he's a good guy] Hope that this helps.

They have some of the higher end products, Sub Zero, Viking, Thermador, etc. We haven't priced cabinets, but they do seem to have a wide range. They have designers who help you design your kitchen, or simply make suggestions on your plans. Ricky
