Generally speaking, there are two ways in which you can find a kitchen contractor in your area. For one you can use offline means and secondly you can do it through online sources.
Let me unpack this for you by discussing both kitchen refacer sources below.
A. USING OFFLINE SOURCES
Talk to your neighbors
Do not underestimate the power of referrals. Some of the people you live with in your area have acquired services of a kitchen contractor before. This is why it is a good idea to ask around before going too far with your search.
Check with local suppliers or retail stores
In line with asking around, do visit some known kitchen shops in your area to ask them. These are in the same industry and probably come to contact with a good kitchen contractor from time to time.
Use the telephone directory
This is the obvious place to start but it is easy to forget, some telephone directories provide quick lists of sections or categories where you can find a listing of kitchen contractors in a specific geographical area.
Kitchen Industry journals
There are probably some journals in your local library or book shop In most cases, industry journals come with a list of contractors that offer industry specific services. Taking some time to go through these can lead you to a pretty good kitchen refacer.
B. USING ONLINE SOURCES
Online sources are my favorite by far because of its flexibility, vastness and general convenience.
Visit expert blogs, discussion boards or forums
In addition to websites with listings, there are a number of forums where people discuss kitchen design topics, which also includes reviews and ratings of contractors. You can also find a number of blogs managed by experts in the industry, who can also help you find a kitchen contractor within your area.
Visit Local sites with local listings
You can find a number of websites that have listings for kitchen contractor within your area. Simply find one or two through your favorite search engine and once you are there, you will have a manna list to choose from.
