Kuiken Brothers Kitchen & Bath - A Professional Contractor's Best Resource

Monday, 23 January 2012 22:21

Kuiken Brothers Kitchen & Bath Department - a professional contractors best resource and I'll explain why...

Did you know that there are 9 highly skilled kitchen designers that work for Kuiken Brothers' Kitchen & Bath Department? Most so-called "kitchen boutiques" have 1 to 2 designers that specialize in working with homeowners and their needs, but few have the experience and understanding of the practical issues that a professional contractor must deal with on every kitchen job.

At Kuiken Brothers, our kitchen designers are capable and well trained to work with homeowners, but their strength lies in their skills at viewing a kitchen project from the contractor's perspective.

As a contractor, you know that kitchen projects can be very challenging. How many times have you removed existing cabinets only to find pipes or wires that have no purpose in being located where you found them? How many times have you had to re-level a floor or ceiling that you didn't count on, but that now changes some of the cabinets and how they were supposed to fit. How many times have you had to field fabricate some of the more specialized elements within the kitchen cabinets, such as a custom hood, only to find that the designer who planned the hood has no knowledge of how you should create the hood?

Time is money, so they say, and at Kuiken Brothers we understand that when things like this happen, you are wasting time. We understand that having the cabinets correct, designed as planned, and thoughtfully laid out so that they will work in the "real world" will save you time. The designer's at Kuiken Brothers understand this better than anyone. They understand because they work with contractors everyday. They speak your language. When we deliver our cabinets to your job, we can ship them out with detailed floor plans to make installation easier. If we have a custom moulding design in mind, we can send you the moulding details and how pieces should work together. When you come to our designers with an unexpected challenge on the job, we work with you to find a solution, not against you to deflect the blame.

At Kuiken Brothers Kitchen & Bath, our only goal is to have you recommend us for your next kitchen job. We keep future business in mind when working with you, not just the current job. Kuiken Brothers has 4 beautiful kitchen showrooms located in Emerson, NJ Succasunna and Ogdensburg, NJ and Warwick, NY.

If you want a true partner on your next kitchen job, and not just a cabinet supplier, we invite you to give us a call.

Holiday Kitchens Full Custom and Semi-Custom, a Welcome Addition to Kuiken Brothers Kitchen and Bath Department

Thursday, 27 October 2011 09:06

I am excited to announce that we have begun offering Holiday Kitchens through our Kitchen & Bath Department at Kuiken Brothers.  We were looking for an additional company that could provide us with full custom and semi-custom options while remaining cost competitive.  Holiday Kitchens exceptional materials and craftsmanship really stood out to us.

Holiday has a full cabinet offering in both framed and frameless lines, so in essence, we have added two cabinet lines.

Whether you prefer the warm comfort of traditional kitchens, the sleek lines and rich tones of today’s European-style kitchens, or the personality of mixed colors and textures in the eclectic kitchens, Holiday Kitchens' custom cabinet designs will be a perfect fit. Our first display of Holiday Kitchens will be featured in our Emerson showroom, with more displays to come.

(Above: This beautiful kitchen with the white flat panel doors inset into the frames is reminiscent of an old farmhouse, but with all of the modern accessories required by today's consumer.)

Kuiken Brothers Kitchen & Bath Department has four showrooms in Emerson, NJ, Ogdensburg, NJ, Succasunna, NJ and Warwick, NY.

Builders and Remodelers Succeed with UltraCraft and Frameless Cabinetry Feature

Wednesday, 06 October 2010 10:21

Kuiken Brothers has been selling UltraCraft cabinets for the last two years and it has quickly become our fastest growing cabinet line. Some of our customers are not that familiar with frameless cabinetry, or what we call "Full Access" cabinetry, but when they have tried UltraCraft's line, they have been thrilled with the results.

• Ultracraft features full access cabinetry in a variety of price points, styles and finishes to meet all of your clients needs. Construction throughout the different lines is a consistent 5/8" dowel and glue construction, and is available in both engineered wood and plywood.
• All cabinets are manufactured in Liberty North Carolina, in the heart of the US furniture industry and shipped in 3-5 weeks leadtime.
• Ultracraft's state of the art "Full Access" construction means more storage space , tighter reveals.  Flush ends are standard.
• All modifications are available at no charge, and premium finishes, including the new Linen and Vintage collections, are only a 5% upcharge.
• Ultracrafts collections include exclusive door styles that are not available at any of the large Home Centers, and offer exceptional value and performance.
• Ultracraft offers the best warranty in the industry -- 100 YEARS!

Those are just a few of the features and benefits of the UltraCraft line, but I invite you to stop by one of our Kuiken Brothers Kitchen & Bath showrooms to see the displays for yourself. Also, remember to utilize our Kitchen & Bath Design Team whenever presenting cabinet options to your clients. We can take a basic sketch and turn it into a 3D rendered drawing, helping to give your clients that visual of what your installed product will be.

CoreGuard Sink Base from Merillat

Tuesday, 13 July 2010 14:00

Merillat Cabinets are the favorite cabinet line with Kuiken Brother’s builder customers, and now Merillat has come up with another unique solution to a common kitchen problem.

Under the sink storage has always been problematic. Homeowners keep a variety of liquid cleaning solutions, the trap for the sink is there, and often the connection for the dishwasher ties into the plumbing under the sink. All of this equals a damp and sometimes leaky environment that causes stains, and worse, a warped sink bottom due to the construction of most sink bases. The solution? Merillat's CoreGuard.

Merillat has introduced their revolutionary CoreGuard sink base. In this new product from Merillat, the bottom, sides and back of the sink base are made of an engineered polymer material that will not leak or warp when wet. The bottom itself is slanted 5 degrees and has raised ridges to cause spills or drips to roll to the front of the cabinet for easier cleanup and quicker detection.

The new CoreGuard is a great offering for builders looking to differentiate themselves from the crowd. The sink base is available in all Merillat doorstyles and in 30” and 36” wide models.

Contact your Kuiken Brothers kitchen designer today to learn how CoreGuard from Merillat can make your next kitchen job easier to sell and one you can stand behind confidently.
