Contractor and Cabinet companies in Kitsap County/Tacoma area WA

[Malika McCoy]

My husband and I purchased our first investment property. It's a duplex with 3/2 and 1/1. The kitchen in the 1/1 is in need of some updates. It was an addition in the 70s and the cabinets haven't been updated since. We're looking for referrals for contractors in the are as well cabinet companies that build a good product for an affordable price. 

Since this is our first property we are looking for suggestions and recommendation on updates without over improving the property. I've attached a couple of pictures. Also, we are debating if we should add a dishwasher but that would mean one less base cabinet.

@Malika McCoy we have used Cabinets To Go out of Kent for our last few units. They are Ready to assemble (RTA) cabinets. They are more expensive than what you can find in Lowe’s or Home Depot but the quality is much better (all wooden boxes) and they look great. That said, the cabinets from a big box store do look good installed and we haven’t had any problems with ones we have installed in other units. So in a lot of ways it will depend on your budget and availability of the cabinets which has been an issue lately. Cabinets To Go Was able to source your cabinets in about 10-15 days (this was over the holiday so shipping could be faster now).

Personally I would add a dishwasher as it’s a feature that tenants seem to appreciate and it should make your unit easier to rent. Is there any other area in the unit you could add additional storage space? Just a thought.
