Design Corner: 

One of the first comments we hear from our homeowners after finishing a project is, “The renovation has made our life so much easier!” New cabinets are a big reason for this enthusiastic response. Wood Wise carries KraftMaid and Waypoint cabinets. Both lines offer multiple features that help with organization and ease of use. Some of these features include: convenient appliance storage, roll-out shelves, multi-storage pantry solutions making better use of all the space available, drawers with cutlery dividers, pull-out knife section and much more. Full-extension soft-close drawers provide easy access to contents. Wall cabinets feature adjustable shelves for maximum storage capacity. Our cabinet showroom allows you to see and experience these features.
Call Wood Wise today to set up an appointment and let our designer, Kathy, help you on your path to a beautiful remodeling project.

Performance Remodeling

by Hank Wall, President

Wood Wise Design & Remodeling

Magazines show remodeling as improved appearances. Sometimes homes need performance updates. Homes built before 1990 may have builder-basic windows, the lowest performing on the market. New windows seal out drafts, operate smoothly, tilt in for easy cleaning and have a Low-E coating to bounce body heat back into the room.

Homes have parts that wear out. Replacing your refrigerator is more of a performance upgrade than a new look. Refrigerators built before 2014 consume 25% more electricity than a new Energy Savings model. Plus the shelving is easy to clean and adjust. New refrigerators use 1/5 as much electricity as 1970’s models.

Last year Wood Wise replaced all of Mike and Jean Carter’s kitchen cabinets (above). While the new cabinets look great it is their outstanding performance that they are celebrating. Pots and pans roll out with lids on in deep, full-extension drawers. Pantry cabinet shelves roll out to make life easy. Great performance while cooking and putting away groceries adds to their home enjoyment.

Our partner for new and replacement windows is Pella. We like Kohler plumbing fixtures. KraftMaid and Waypoint are our two cabinet lines and both have lots of performance features as standard items. We stand by Trane heating and cooling systems since they offer outstanding performance at a good value.

What performance remodeling do you have to address? Email any questions to info@woodwisedesign.com and we will be happy to help.
