Looking for attractive, durable custom cabinets and countertops? Installing them is tougher than you think, so you’ll want to find a contractor to help you with the job. Unless you are a seasoned do it yourself-er, you should find a contractor to help you with this project.

Be sure to hire someone who is certified and registered with your local chamber of commerce or Better Business Bureau. Ask for references and images of previous jobs they have done. You want someone who can do a job you’ll be happy with in a reasonable timeframe.

The first thing to consider when choosing custom cabinets and countertops is material. Do you want marble or granite? Do you want wood or plastic? Then consider colors that will work well together.
