NYKB Review

NYKB’s owner and President, Perry Hiiman, agrees with these Houston professionals who know the importance of a professionally remodeled kitchen to a home’s value.

Although many homeowners have more than one bath, few have multiple kitchens. So it pays to plan your remodel wisely.

Call in a professional consultant, advises Peggy McGowen, owner of Kitchen and Bath Concepts in Houston. “It’s a spend-to-save thing,” McGowen explains. “Even a one-hour consultation will help you avoid mistakes that could cost time and money later.”

She also urges homeowners to spend the most on structural items that are the hardest to replace: cabinets and countertops. “These things take the biggest beating and look the worst the quickest,” she says.

Says Perry: “She’s right, the money a consumer saves by skimping on quality cabinets and countertops will not pay for their replacements! Some might look great and cost-effective in a catalog, but how happy is a consumer when every other door is hanging off or misaligned in a six-month old kitchen? Get a pro to do it!”

Good point, Perry.

And how has your week been?  Today NYKB wishes HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Lior Habet, our project coordinator.  He multitasks like no other, but is never too busy for a laugh or a good word.  Lior comes to us from Israel where he had extensive experience in brand and retail management for Reebok.  Lior, a Jets fan, looks forward to going to his first football game this fall.  We hope the Jets will not let him down. 

Today we also welcome NYKB’s new expeditor, Florence Watson.  The lovely Ms. Watson, a Monroe College grad, loves music (especially Beyonce) and is a good cook.  Welcome aboard!

This is the inaugural post of NYKB’s blog.  We have, at this time, no plans for a fancy name this blog or anything - just “NYKB Blog” for now.  You get the idea.

Anyway, we are New York City-based full service design/build firm with two Manhattan locations, one on the Upper East side and the other in the Flatiron District.  We specialize in kitchen and bath remodeling. (hence the ’KB’ in our name). 

We look forward to sharing the fun and hard work of our workplace with readers.
