In Missouri, particularly within the Kansas City metro area, kitchen cabinet upgrades are a popular home improvement project. The state's varied climate, with hot summers and cold winters, influences the best timing for renovations. Homeowners often prioritize indoor projects during the colder months or the transitional periods of spring and fall.
Missouri's climate, with its hot, humid summers and cold, dry winters, necessitates careful consideration of cabinet materials and installation timing. Wood can expand and contract with humidity changes, so proper acclimatization and installation in a climate-controlled environment are important. The housing stock in Kansas City includes a mix of older bungalows and newer suburban homes, each presenting unique opportunities and challenges for cabinet design and fitting.

The primary downside of granite countertops is their porosity. Without regular sealing, they can absorb liquids, leading to stains. Granite can also chip or crack under heavy impact. In Missouri's climate, temperature changes could also be a factor to consider for natural stone.
What is often referred to as 'fake granite' is typically quartz. Quartz countertops are manufactured using natural quartz minerals mixed with resins and pigments. This process allows for a wide range of colors and patterns, often mimicking the look of natural stone like granite.
The cost of a 10 ft piece of granite countertop depends on the specific granite slab chosen, its thickness, and any edge detailing required. Installation costs and fabrication fees also contribute to the total. We provide a detailed quote after assessing your project needs.
