Adrienne and Jay's kitchen is now as functional as it is beautiful with all new stainless steel surfaces.
Jay’s wife, Adrienne, is a devotee of the Cooking Channel and Jay is a devotee to his wife’s delicious meals. These two factors considered at length, updating their 10-year-old kitchen was a project whose time had come.
While a glass-top cook surface seemed like a great option at the time, over the years it has become particularly problematic, requiring an excessive amount of time to clean and remove streaking after use. Back then, new white appliances were the thing but today smart homeowners are discovering the beauty and simple care required by stainless steel appliances and backsplashes.
Jay also added some classy touches like a small stainless steel shelve under the cooking surface where utensils are stored for easy access.
Once they agreed their stove had to go, Jay got on the Internet and started shopping. Soon after he had installed the new stainless steel stove they realized the microwave, dishwasher, and trash compactor did not match. These appliances were too new to just replace so Jay gave them a face lift with stainless steel replacement panels, however their Kitchen Aide refrigerator proved to be more challenging.
Although this appliance was in great condition, Kitchen Aide no longer made stainless steel replacement panels for this particular model. He widened his search efforts and found an online metal’s company that offered to cut the stainless steel to size but their price quote was $600 and more of a concern they would not guarantee the metal would arrive without scratches or damages in shipping. Also, they would not guarantee him that the edges where they made the cuts would not be unmarred. Combined with the high price of the metal, and the potential that it would arrive unusable with a “sorry about that” attitude from the supplier forced Jay back to the search engines, and that’s when he found a perfect solution for all three concerns.
When Jay discovered Storm Copper and QuickShipMetals.com’s world class customer service department his problems and Internet search soon ended. After calling the toll-free number and explaining his dilemma Jay was provided with a quoted price less than half of the one he received and most important to him, he was assured that the metal was guaranteed to arrive without scratches or dings.
“I talked with a lady at Storm and she said shipping across the country was something they did every day. Even when I explained that we lived in LA, she assured me that my satisfaction was guaranteed. In a few days the order arrived between two sheets of plywood that were strapped together. I cut the strapping and unpacked it to find that it was in perfect condition. I installed it in the doors and the cuts were perfect. The pieces fit like a glove,” he said.
With plenty of room to work, and all stainless steel appliances, the only question now is what's for dinner?
Based on the photos he sent, their kitchen will be beautiful for many years to come, and one that would compare well with any on the Cooking Channel. Jay also added some classy touches like a small stainless steel shelve under the cooking surface where utensils are stored for easy access.
QuickShipMetals offers standard size brushed-horizontal stainless steel dishwasher door panels (19 1/8″ H x 23 1/2″ W) and standard lower panels (3 11/16″ H x 23 9/16″ W) that fit many models. If the standard size doesn’t work; no problem! Custom cuts are routine.
If you are considering a kitchen face lift that includes stainless steel or any style of copper sheeting or copper foil perhaps you should benefit from Jay’s lengthy Internet search, contact the fine folks that staff QSM’s customer service department. The prices are very competitive and customer satisfaction is second to none!
