Kitchen Remodeling
Add Some Spice To Your Kitchen
The kitchen is no longer just a place to prepare meals; it is becoming the main social
gathering space in many homes. With the right balance of function and style, Tomco Company
can make your kitchen function well as an easy-to-use and easy to access all components with
in it. To incorporate good design, it is easier to start from scratch. Space always seems to
be an issue, so as in a good marriage, compromise is often necessary. We want to assess your
family lifestyles, how long you plan to live in the residence, and your budgets. Only with this
knowledge and some forsight into your future lifestyle can we approach intelligent design.
Our kitchen remodeling projects range from simple replacement of doors, drawers, and countertops
to full re-design of cabinetry and workspace layout based on your life style. We can create
organized spaces with a glamorous layout full of nifty features such as tuck-away garbage/recycling cans,
full extension pullout drawers, double stacked ovens, and pullout door spice racks and much more.
Another great feature that has become a hit in the kitchen are panel hidden fridge doors and dishwashers
to eliminate those pain-staking, annoying fingerprints we can never seem to finish cleaning.
Not only does a functional kitchen offer a comfortable cooking area, it also offers a comfortable,
congregating area for you and your guests. The living room has not lost its top rank for #1 area to
fellowship in, but kitchens are giving living/sitting rooms a "run for their money" when it comes to
a comfortable gathering area. Henceforth we will spend a lot of time developing the eating area.
Whether your choice is a "pull-up spectator island bar" to the quaint "grandmother bench style"
seating we can help you develop the perfect family gathering space.
In this day and age, our lifestyles are "on-the-go" all the time. It seems everybody has to
be somewhere at a certain time. So often the one thing that is cut out is the family meal
times. We want to think about creating enough space for the whole family gathering times.
You may see a newly designed gourmet kitchen built for function and efficiency, and a great
eating area will make you family meals more enjoyable by creating this a memorable and inviting
place to fellowship. Draw everyone back to the family table for family dinners and be satisfied
not only creating meals for your family but also working to create stronger relationships within your family.
So think of your family and friend gatherings that you plan on holding in the upcoming seasons and
consider making your kitchen not only a topic of conversation, but also to celebrate your newly
found cooking style! It's amazing how many people enjoy cooking and preparing meals when they
can enjoy their cooking areas. So get excited over hosting people in your newly remodeled kitchen
instead of dreading the day until it comes. Make it easy and enjoyable for yourself. Call Tomco Company today!

Avoid Common Kitchen Remodel Mistakes
Poor Planning: Why do you want to remodel your kitchen? Do you want to replace countertops and
reface cabinets? Do you need more space and storage? Does you kitchen not function well with your lifestyle?
Planning based on education can help answer these important questions!
Over-spending: If you were to sell your house tomorrow, would your kitchen remodel help or hurt your
home equity and chance to sell? Ask Tom about a Cost vs Value analysis.
Poor Design: Kitchen designs should be: Universal (meeting the needs for all ages, abilities, and
circumstances for today and looking into the future) and Certified for Aging in Place (CAPS)
(integrating "Adaptable, Accessible, and/or Universal" design while introducing energy efficient
products and sustainable systems into your remodel project. "Designing with your Future in Mind".
*Note the following areas of a kitchen remodel are important to think about.
- Storage - Efficient storage in the kitchen should easily enhance your everyday lifestyle. This might include
hide-away spice racks and garbage/recycle bins, pull out shelves for accessibility, deep storing drawers for pots,
cookware, and storage containers, and much more.
- Lighting - Having well-lit task areas in a kitchen is highly plausible and effective. While designing an
efficient user friendly kitchen, one should always think out meal prep and task areas and apply the necessary
and energy efficient lighting for each.
- Appliances - Knowing your cooking style and available space should dictate which appliances one needs to
implement into the kitchen layout. By doing your homework before hand, this will allow for the best possible
placement of appliances and meal prep locations. This also will optimize the kitchen's overall efficiency.
- Islands - Islands, although often requested, do require a great amount of kitchen space. Food for thought-The
difference between an island and a peninsula is just one less walkway. Discover whether your existing kitchen
has the space required for that "dream island".

Kitchenettes
Have a Hassle Free Home
Imagine being downstairs in your basement and not having to make yet another trip upstairs for
another 2 pops, 2 more bags of popcorn, or a pizza that you forgot was in the oven (probably "well-done" by now).
That's right...a Kitchenette is what you are in need of! Not only does the kitchenette bring functionality to
your basement, maybe for those Super bowl parties where the wives send the men down into the basement to fend
for themselves while they have their own Super bowl party upstairs. It also adds conveniences to your home in
case a friend or family member needs a place to stay for a little while. With a kitchenette, you are able to
have your own family kitchen while your family or friends downstairs, have their own.
Maybe your grandson/granddaughter or niece/nephew decides they don't want to pay for the school dorms and they
ever-so politely ask if they could just rent out your basement for the school year. Why not give them their own
mini-kitchen, just like they would have in the dorms. Keeping it fully functional yet basic, they can still feel
the freedom of having a place of their own with the advantages of having family right upstairs!
Do you like to grill out in the summer and you have extra space in your basement which walks out to your patio?
Why not fill the void in your basement by adding an easily accessible fridge/freezer for the freezees and ice
cream, an oven for the twice baked potatoes, and a sink to wash all the dirty dishes in without having to carry
everything upstairs. With a kitchenette you can have a place to store and showcase your secondary dish-set year round!
With Tomco Company's experience in kitchens, they have the knowledge and skills to create the perfect kitchenette
for your home's needs and your desires. From basic to classy kitchenettes, Tomco has designed and built pliable
kitchenettes that meet our clients needs and wishes. Start enjoying your new kitchenette and call Tomco Company
to design that kitchenette, today!
