You’ve spent countless hours on Houzz and Pinterest. You’ve flipped through dozens of home magazines. And you’ve watched your share of HGTV makeover shows.

Armed with lots of ideas (and maybe even a few photos), you’re ready to get started on your next kitchen or bathroom remodeling project.

But what comes next?

It can be tempting to head directly to your nearest big-box home improvement store. After all, they have everything you need – from hammers and hardware to cabinets and countertops – right?

Sure, they have a large assortment of products… the same products you’ll find at every location across the nation. And what happens when you have a question or need some expert advice? You may find yourself searching for an employee who may or may not have the answer.

Don’t get lost in the wilderness of warehouse-style shopping. Start instead at a smaller specialty company like Markraft Cabinets.  There, you’ll find so much more than just stuff. 

“At Markraft, you will receive personal attention from a team of people that have the experience and dedication to their customers that is hard to find elsewhere,” said Amanda Fisher, one of Markraft’s designers. 

And, Amanda added, that kind of attention is essential to getting the look you want. 

“Our customers understand the process and know they have the support of our whole team throughout that process,” she said. “And they know the end result will be exactly what they wanted and expected.”

There’s a reason Markraft has been a leader in the cabinet and countertop service industry for three decades – its top-notch employees like Amanda. 

Another reason – a unique array of the latest cabinets and countertops you’re not likely to find anywhere else. 

“Our selection includes choices to fit every budget and design. We have everything from farmhouse to modern in different constructions from economical to high end, so we can tailor to our customers’ wants and needs,” Amanda said. “Most importantly our service, guarantee, warranty, reputation, and award-winning designers keep our customers coming through our doors.”

Take your first step towards the design of your dreams by visiting Markraft’s Design Studio, 2705 Castle Creek Lane, just off Castle Hayne Road. Markraft’s professional kitchen and bath designers consult by appointment but drop-in visitors are always welcome to browse the showroom, open 9 a.m. – 5 p.m., Monday – Friday.
