Update Your Kitchen For Easter With These 6 Touch-up Hints

Kitchen after touch-up

Over the years, the kitchen has morphed into the core of the house where meals are prepared, a place where your family eats and talks, a place where you entertain guests, a place where you keep and store everyday items. As such an important room in your home, you want your kitchen to feel clean, organized, and comfortable. If your kitchen is in need of an update but you don’t want to go through the cost or time of a remodel, you can still transform the kitchen with a few easy touch ups.

1. Paint The Cabinets– Cabinets make the most difference in the kitchen, not only for look, but for function. They are typically the first thing you notice in a kitchen. So you can update your cabinets by painting them. Keep cabinets neutral.

2. Replace Knobs and Hinges– Cabinet hardware makes a big difference in the look and feel of your kitchen as well. Choose colors and styles that flow with the rest of our home, but are modern and stylish.

3. Faucets– Change your faucets to a different finish.

4. Organizers – Purchase cabinet and drawer organizers. This could help keep your countertops free of clutter and make finding your kitchen utensils so much easier and quicker.

5. Countertops – Bring life back into your countertops with a countertop refinishing product.

6. Trash Can – Replace a plastic trash can with a tall basket with a lid or a modern stainless bin.

We hope these kitchen tune ups help modernize your kitchen. Please visit our Paints, Plumbing and Hardware departments for help with your small kitchen updates.

Does Your Bathroom Need Updating? Look Out For These 4 Signs.

The wear-and-tear on your bathroom is substantial. Between baths, showers, toilet flushes and the constant on/off use of a sink, your plumbing will eventually need replacement. Sometimes, a cosmetic repair is all that's required. In other cases, more substantial work is necessary. Here are four signs that the time has come to change your bathroom plumbing.

Bathroom faucets

Leaking Faucets – Although most leaking faucets can be easily repaired by replacing one of their internal components, most plumbers and homeowners prefer replacement given the relatively low cost of a new faucet. Also constant dripping water can increase your water bills enormously. You can also choose to have your faucet replaced based on aesthetic reasons. Although a tarnished or nicked faucet will continue to do the job it was designed for, it doesn’t look too good and most people choose to replace such fixtures.

Solution:  1. Aqua plumb single handle bathroom faucet

                2. B & K Shoreside Collection

               

Dual flush toilet

Toilet Upgrade – With water costs rising, upgrading a conventional toilet to a dual flush toilet becomes an appealing changeover. Although your toilet continues to operate within normal parameters, you should know that there are more efficient alternatives on the market as far as water consumption. Sometimes, upgrading is necessary for purely a esthetic reasons, such as remodeling.

Solution: Dual Flush Toilet.

Dual-flush system

 Flushing Mechanism Failure – Unfortunately, the flushing mechanism of a toilet contains a lot of moving parts and when these parts wear down or break, it becomes difficult to repair. You will need to replace the internals of the tank. A failing flushing mechanism may cause your toilet to run continuously and consume a lot more water; as well it may cause the toilet to stop flush.

Solution:  The 550 DRFK Dual Flush Conversion Systems

Plumbing products

Cracked Porcelain – Toilets usually last forever with proper maintenance and you don’t really have to replace them unless you are remodeling and you want your toilet to fit in the new bathroom décor. Even if you experience leaking, a professional plumber can replace the wax ring seal by the floor without replacing the whole unit. However, there is nothing that you can do if you crack the porcelain. In this case your toilet is completely compromised and you absolutely need to replace it.

Solution: Dual Flush Toilet  

Do You Know What Makes Rayneau's Customer Service So Special?

One must realize that customer complaints are not just aired verbally among friends, but are increasingly channeled through the oh-so-public social media, such as Facebook and Twitter and even more so, WhatsApp.  This means that companies must take decisive actions to prevent the wrath of unhappy customers.

At RG Group of Companies, staff undergo repeated refresher training courses to update their customer service skills. Our customer service is fast to respond, fun and engaging with customers, asking the right questions and trying their best to solve any issues.

A well know friend told me, “Boy, the beauty at Rayneau, is that you are treated like family, and family is important, everybody rushes to your assistance. You are never alone. The service is second to none.” Similarly other customers have expressed their sentiments. Here are a few comments:

Peter from Marchand:

At Rayneau, I’m able to find friendly and knowledgeable sales representatives that take time to answer my questions. I am not pushed to buy any particular brand and I’m given solid recommendations if the store does not have a particular product.

 Mr Emmanuel from Grand Rivere:

I have come to depend on Rayneau for all my construction needs. The people employed there understand of my needs to get the most value for my budget and back it up with service and even do it over to make it right.

Joseph from Gros Islet:

This is my “go-to” store. Their employees are always friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I recently dealt with Jonathan and Leandra and they both were wonderful. I f you need materials or tools for your next project I highly recommend Rayneau Construction and Industrial Products.

Augustin from Monchy:

This is a great place to have in Corinth when you need something the other stores do not have. I’ve actually been there three times in one day. I find it has everything I need. The service is great and you can tell the employees have been there forever. Rayneau has an at-home feel.

Shana from Choiseul:

I am a small contractor and by just staying at my home and using my phone, I was able to make a wide range of purchases and it was delivered to me in the quickest possible time. I will recommend Rayneau to everyone. Ron  provided me with a service I have never experienced from any store in the past.

It is clearly evident that from these reviews, our customer service personnel passed the test and deserve a hats-off congratulation.

Valentine’s Day is only six days away. So for this Valentine’s Day come shop with us and let our Customer Service Representatives shower you with LOVE, APPRECIATION and top of the line SERVICE. We look forward to sharing this love and more when you do come in to select you gift for this special one in your life.
