A kitchen island can add a new element to your kitchen! Not only does it provide an excellent place for you to store your items, but it also can serve as an excellent place to sit at and enjoy your food. Simply put, adding a kitchen island can take your kitchen to the next level! However, it’s important to remember that just adding a kitchen island to your home isn’t enough. You need to make sure you have the right island installed. Here are some mistakes you should avoid making with your kitchen island.

Going Too Big

It’s important to take into account the measurements of your kitchen before installing an island. This is the most essential thing to consider because no matter how much storage or style an island would add to your kitchen, it’s useless if the island doesn’t fit. While you can take the measurements of your kitchen yourself, it’s good to have a professional do it for the best results. A professional contractor will help you figure out the best size for your kitchen island before it’s even installed. Make sure to keep efficiency in mind when you’re thinking about what size your island will be.

Neglecting Storage

One of the biggest advantages of choosing to have a kitchen island installed is the storage it provides, so neglecting storage is a big mistake. Even if you have a lot of space in your kitchen, it’s always a good idea to maximize the amount of space you have in your kitchen. The best way to do that is by ensuring you have adequate storage and that you are maximizing whatever storage you have. Because your kitchen island will take up so much space in your kitchen, it makes sense to ensure it also serves as a storage option.

Forgetting Seating

If you are planning to use your kitchen for entertaining or just need an extra place for your family to eat at, it’s crucial to have seating around your kitchen island. Doing so will allow its top service to serve as a table, which can be very helpful.

We could not be more pleased with the entire process and outcome of our experience with Albaugh & Sons. From the timely turnaround on coming out to give us an estimate, to the flexibility on adjusting our proposal, and to the quick and professional installation itself. I would highly recommend Albaugh & Sons to anyone in their area of serviceability.

So great to work with. Have had the pleasure of working with both sons who were knowledgeable and courteous. The entire process was easy from estimate to completion of my new deck. Both arrived on time, had my estimate for both deck and basement remodel in a couple of days. Danny, the project manager arrived on time and explained the plans, the work crew were amazing. Old deck demolished and beautiful new composite in its place in less than 2 days. Tiffany, the office manager is prompt in responding to all emails with courteous knowledgeable answers. They make you feel like you are their only customer. Look forward to working with them for my basement remodel. I 100% recommend this company.

I had a beautiful deck built almost 2 years ago. I called yesterday about a few items that have come apart such as the pvc outside corners on the rim/ band board etc. The company was very responsive and ready and eager to help. Because of this, they have made a customer for life! Not only will you get an amazing product, but it appears you get a lifetime of amazing customer service!! 100 out of 5 stars!

We needed a fence as fast as possible for 5 rescue dogs that we took on. Albaugh and Sons was able to provide a great quote and a speedy installation. My wife and I love the new fence. It has literally improved our day to day lives by being able to let the dogs run free in the back. The materials were perfect and high quality. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family.

I hired Albaugh and Sons to tear out our old deck and replace it with a new composite deck/ screened porch. The front office was a pleasure to deal with and kept my wife and I informed on everything. The crew did an amazing job every step of the way. I was especially impressed with their finish work. The attention to detail was impressive! What I also liked Albaugh and Sons is they had a project manager (Danny) who would occasionally pop over and answer questions and would also keep me updated on progress. I would highly recommend hiring Albaugh and Sons for any of your fence/ deck / home improvement needs.

We are very pleased with the work done by Albaugh and sons. We had them replace our side porch and they did excellent work and built it to our request. Also had them install a three tier rail fence around our property. It is excellent and looks great. We thank Danny and his deck crew and George and his fence crew for their excellent work. I recommend them for any projects you need done. Thank you very much!!
