How to choose the right kitchen contractor

Finding a great kitchen contractor can be a challenge. There are many things that you should consider when hiring a kitchen contractor to work on your kitchen in Cape Town. We take a look at three of the most important.


You need to hire the best kitchen contractor that you can find. However, finding that contractor may be a challenge. Here are some tips to help you find the best kitchen contractor who will build the kitchen of your dreams.

Do your homework

The internet is your friend. Go online and search for kitchen contractors in Cape Town. Ask for recommendations from people you know. Once you have the contractors’ names, visit their social media pages and websites.

An important consideration is how long the contractor has been in business. Do they have many completed projects or will yours be one of the first?  Do they have testimonials from previous clients?

Another way to gauge how popular the contractor is will be by looking at the time they need before they can start your project. Be wary of a contractor who can “start tomorrow”.

Face-to-face meeting

While recommendations and online research are enough to give you the information you need, talking to the kitchen contractor could go a long way in helping you to decide whether they will be a good fit. Do they understand what you are looking for in style and design? Will they explain why ideas you have for your design or finishes will or won’t work?

The quotation

Once you’ve narrowed down your choices, you can ask for estimates for the construction of your kitchen. While value for your money is a primary consideration, it’s important to look at the service being provided alongside the cost.

It can be easy to be blinded by the price, but keep in mind the quality of materials and work that goes into the construction of your kitchen. Price is certainly a factor, but don’t let it be the only one you consider when looking at different service providers’ quotes.


While finding the kitchen contractor that will suit your needs may take a little time and research, the right one is well worth the effort to ensure you get the kitchen of your dreams.
