Unlike most other cabinetry companies, we provide only custom cabinetry. All of our cabinetry can be produced in unlimited sizes, configurations, and finishes. Some of our lines are more flexible and capable than others, but we do not carry stock (pre-made) or semi-custom lines. Our product price range goes from mid-range to upper end, depending on the product. We create one-of-a-kind kitchen design, bedroom furniture, office furniture, wall units and entertainment centers. We also provide custom bathroom design, bathroom vanities and bathroom cabinets. In addition, Eurotech’s designers have extensive experience creating custom furniture design that is limited only by your imagination.
We custom design all the projects that we do. EuroTech’s wide range of kitchen
cabinets and bath cabinets allow our clients to select from a wide variety of
standard and custom door styles, species and finishes available from the
manufacturers we represent. We also have a full-service shop on our premises
where our skilled craftsmen fabricate and finish custom furniture from a
limitless selection of fine hardwoods, veneers, laminates and specialty
materials.
2. Do you provide installation services for your products?
Yes, we install 99% of the
custom cabinetry we provide. We have the best custom cabinet installers in Sarasota. We only use installers who have been Eurotech trained. We have sold cabinetry without installation services if the clients have their own installers. If this is the case, we provide support services just as we would if we were doing the installation ourselves.
3. Do you reface or recover existing cabinets?
No, we do not reface, recover or re-finish existing cabinetry. We only provide new
custom cabinetry.
4. Do I need to set up an appointment or can I just come in?
It's fine with us if you come in
anytime without an appointment. However, scheduling an appointment ahead of
time ensures that you will get the undivided attention of one of our
designers. For high quality kitchen designs, bathroom designs or custom
furniture designs, getting to know our clients and their needs is essential.
Either way, we will make certain that your needs are addressed.
5. Do I need to bring in my own plans or will you create a design for me?
Design services are a large part of what we offer. It is one of our greatest strengths. We just need wall dimensions or blue prints and your ideas to begin the process. (We will come to your residence to confirm dimensions) We believe the design for any
custom cabinetry or built-in furniture is best achieved as a collaborative effort between the client and the designer. After all, you know best what you need, how you live, what you like, etc. But you also need a professional to help you put it all together.
6. How long does it take to get cabinets?
It depends on the type of
cabinets you are looking for. Some of our custom cabinetry is available in 6-8
weeks, some take as much as 12-14 weeks. The most important thing to remember
is that the sooner we start, the sooner we can get you your custom cabinetry.
Like most other high quality products, high quality kitchen cabinets or high
quality bathroom cabinets are made with a great deal of attention to detail
which takes more time than stock or standard cabinetry.
7. Do you have references?
Yes, we have numerous references available to our
clients. Our clients are thrilled with our products and services. They include not only homeowners, but also interior designers, contractors, architects and other professionals.
8. Do you work on remodeling projects or new construction?
We handle both new construction
and remodeling projects. In regards to remodeling, depending on the size and
scope of the project, we can handle your project a few different ways. A project
that requires minimal plumbing (disconnect and re-connect of sink, disposal and
dishwasher) can be handled entirely by us. A more detailed project that requires
more than minimal needs (such as moving plumbing, adding or deleting electrical
lighting, switches, etc., moving or building walls or soffits, modifying
mechanical components, drywall work, flooring) can be handled by working with a
licensed contractor of your choice or we can refer one of the licensed
contractors we have worked with.
9.
How
much does a new kitchen/bath cost?
As you
might imagine, there is a wide range of pricing for kitchen cabinetry and bath
cabinetry projects. The final cost will be determined by many factors. The
size of the space, the extent of construction and/or mechanical elements, the
type and quality of the cabinets, appliances, countertops, fixtures, fittings
and other finished materials such as flooring, lighting, etc. Our products
generally price from the mid-range to the upper end of the price (and design)
spectrum. These quality offerings minimize product-related headaches and allow
us to focus on extraordinary design, impeccable installation and excellent
customer service.
10.
Do
you give free estimates?
Yes we do.
If you have a floor plan for your project- a blueprint, sketch or even an idea
of the size of the space, a member of our sales staff can give you a rough
“guesstimate” of what custom cabinetry costs might be in a range of different
products. If you don’t have a blue print or sketch, then we come to your
residence and take dimensions and then give you a “guesstimate”. Again, there
is no charge for this service.
11.
Is
there a charge for kitchen design services?
While some
other companies charge for kitchen design and bathroom design services, we do
not. Custom design is one of our biggest strengths, but we do not sell plans.
We sell completed projects. If, after reviewing our products,
preliminary design concepts and our initial estimate, you wish to proceed, we will ask you to sign an “Intent to Purchase
Agreement” (ITP). This minimal financial commitment is not a design fee. It
simply allows us to devote the time necessary to design, draw and price a
project to your exacting specifications. Our designers will work with you to
come up with a plan that meets your specific needs, desires and budget. We
will modify the drawings and pricing as often as required until everything
meets with your approval. All ITP funds are credited directly toward the final
price of your kitchen cabinet, bath cabinet or custom furniture purchase.
12.
Are
your designers Certified Kitchen and Bath Designers (CKDs, CBDs)?
We are
long-standing members of the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA), the
largest professional organization of our industry. NKBA administers the
Certified Kitchen Designer (CKD) and Certified Bath Designer (CBD) programs.
One of our lead designers, Tracey Scalzo, CKD,CBD has been actively involved in
NKBA leadership for over fifteen years. All of our designers have many
years of experience and their work has been featured in regional and national
publications. They also regularly participate in the excellent professional
development programs offered by NKBA as well as other educational opportunities
to keep them on the cutting edge of this ever-evolving industry.
13.
Do
you do countertops?
While we
don’t sell and install just countertops, we do offer a variety of
countertop materials for our projects. Solid woods in a variety of species,
butchers block, veneers, solid surfacing (Corian, Avonite, etc.), engineered
stone (Caesarstone, Zodiac, etc.) and plastic laminate (Formica). We don’t
fabricate stone, but we are happy to refer you to reputable granite fabricators,
so you can buy direct and save.
14.
Are
your kitchen and bathroom designs more traditional or contemporary?
We do both.
While we do have a reputation for cutting-edge contemporary kitchen designs, we
are also well known for our phenomenal traditional kitchen designs. All of our
designers are well versed in a variety of styles. We have been creating
traditional looks with lots of detailing and the multi-step finishes that have
been quite popular for a number of years. We also do more transitional looks
and period and theme design as well. If your style is Olde World, French
Country, Beach Cottage or Space-Age Fantasy, we’ll work with you to create the
look that you want.
15.
I’ve
seen so many things I like, I don’t know what I want. Where do I start?
Looking
through model homes, books and magazines can be very helpful and very
confusing. What design trends have staying power? Will you really use this
intriguing accessory? Our designers can help you sort through the various
options and help identify those elements that appeal to you. They will help you
come up with a unique plan that incorporates the features and look that best
suits you, your family and your lifestyle.
16.
What
is “Universal Design”?
You may have
heard terms like “universal design” and “aging in place.” Please, don’t think
“handicapped.” These are emerging design trends that encourage all of us to
take into account the needs of all the people who use a space throughout a
lifespan. Simple things like multiple lighting levels allow us to modify the
illumination for specific tasks, ambiance or differing visual acuity.
Multiple countertop heights in the kitchen offer comfort and convenience to
users of various heights, or seated users. An attractive grab bar in the
bath/shower increases the safety of all users including, perhaps
especially, children. In short, we can design attractive, functional
spaces that not only accommodate and adapt to temporary or permanent physical
challenges, but make all of our lives easier, safer and more convenient.
17.
Do
you make built-in furniture?
We custom
design and fabricate all kinds of built-in furniture. We do banquettes, home
offices, dining rooms and wall units of all types- home theaters and
entertainment centers, libraries, etc. We also make some unique free-standing
pieces such as sofa tables, coffee tables and specialty pieces with remote
controlled TV lifts.
18.
What
kind of showroom do you have?
Our fabulous
3,500 square foot showroom features dozens of different displays of kitchens,
baths and custom furniture in many different styles. You can take a
virtual tour of the showroom here. We maintain an extensive
resource library of different door samples, finishes, countertop materials,
etc. Several photo books of completed projects are available for your perusal
as well.
19.
Do
you do outdoor kitchens?
In a word,
yes. We handle a line of cabinetry specifically designed for outdoor
applications. We also fabricate cabinetry for outdoor kitchens, bars and
entertainment areas in our shop utilizing marine grade plywood, stainless steel
hardware and fasteners, durable, weather resistant wood species and finishes.
20. Are you
familiar with Quartz Surfaces used for counter tops?
Yes, we are
very familiar with Quartz Surfaces. There are many brands of Quartz Surfaces. We
have tried a number of them and have found Caesarstone, Zodiac and Cambria to be
the best we have tried. These Quartz Surfaces are similar in quality and price,
but they all have different colors and patterns. We have full sample selections
of Caesarstone, Zodiac and Cambria available in our showroom.
21. Do you get
involved in kitchen/bathroom remodeling projects?
Yes we do. We
are constantly involved in kitchen remodeling and bathroom remodeling projects
of all sizes and styles. Many of our clients love their homes, but want to
update their homes. We can help you with both kitchen remodeling and bathroom
remodeling. Our design staff will help you with a kitchen design or bathroom
design as part of the process. We become very involved in the kitchen remodeling
or bathroom remodeling project, from start to finish.
22. Why are your
kitchen designs and bathroom designs considered to be so wonderful?
Our kitchen
designs and bathroom designs have won numerous design awards. We have won awards
for our kitchen designs and bathroom designs in 14 of the last 15 years. We are
contacted frequently by different publications looking to showcase our kitchen
designs and bathroom designs. In fact, our design work has been published 49
times.
23. What is the
difference between kitchen cabinets and bathroom cabinets?
The main
difference between kitchen cabinets and bathroom cabinets is size. Kitchen
cabinets typically have a 24” depth and bathroom cabinets are usually 21” deep.
While bathroom cabinets used to be about 6” shorter than kitchen cabinets,
bathroom cabinets are now available in the same height as kitchen cabinets. Most
of our clients prefer the taller bathroom cabinets in order not to have to bend
so far.
24. Do you have any
new or different kinds of countertops?
Yes we do. As
a matter of fact, we are the exclusive provider in the Sarasota area for
Caesarstone’s new “Concetto”. It is a hand-crafted surface made of semi-precious
stones from around the world and it is absolutely gorgeous. It is available in 8
different colors and is on display in our showroom. For more information, go to
the “News” section of this website and see our most recent newsletter, Volume 8.
