The transformation of the house starts this week in a 13-part series on Today’s Homeowner with Danny Lipford.  In this series, Danny shows realistic approaches to remodeling while also addressing the top challenges average homeowners face in a remodel.  You’ll see practical ideas for remodeling your home. You’ll also see firsthand how Merillat Cabinetry and DeNova countertops are adding functionality and style in nine areas of the home.  Click here to find the show in your area!

For a sneak peek at the Merillat cabinetry we’ve used even before the kitchen episode airs, take a look at our Kuppersmith web page and see what cabinetry styles, features and accessories we’ve used to bring fun and function to different rooms in the house. The site will be updated throughout the renovation so visit often to see what’s new.

Keep track of the progress on Danny’s Facebook and Twitter pages.  We’ll also be sure to keep you posted about the project’s status on Merillat’s Kuppersmith web page and RoundTable.

Celebrity Chef Curtis Stone is cooking LIVE today, April 16, from 12:00 noon to 4:00 p.m. in Merillat’s booth #S1217.

Revolutionary New CoreGuard^™ Sink Base Cabinet on Display
We’ll also be showing off our exclusive new CoreGuard™ water resistant sink base that re-thinks base cabinet construction by specifically addressing issues such as spills and plumbing leaks. Available this fall, CoreGuard makes detection and cleaning of leaks and spills a breeze.

Corner Storage Made Easier with CornerStore^™ Cabinet
Check out cool new storage options like the CornerStore^™, our prototype corner access cabinet. Available December 2010, this product brings more storage and easy accessibility to that notoriously tight corner cabinet area and provides a high capacity alternative to the traditional Lazy Susan.

Merillat Cabinets + DeNova Countertops = ProCision

Builders will find an exciting new way to way to streamline their kitchen projects when they visit the International Builder’s Show in Las Vegas January 19-22, where Merillat is introducing ProCision™, a fully coordinated cabinet and countertop installation process.

ProCision is offered exclusively with three Masco Builder Cabinet Group (MBCG) brands: Merillat and QualityCabinets, and the premium DeNova countertop brand, which joined the MBCG family in 2008.

ProCision integrates factors like cabinet design, countertop templating, coordinated cabinet and countertop scheduling, and facilitates same-day delivery and installation. A precise digital measuring and templating system covers cabinets and countertops at the same time, so there’s no need for a traditional plywood countertop template.

Karen Strauss, MBCG President, thinks builders will love ProCision. “One of the most frustrating issues for builders is to install cabinets and then have to wait several days for the countertops to be delivered – hoping they will install smoothly.”

Builders who use ProCision can expect some positive developments:

• A kitchen installation cycle that’s 8 to 15 days shorter
• Fewer trips to the jobs site
• Fewer “competing” subcontractors on the job site
• One single point of contact for sales, service and support

Stop by the Merillat booth at IBS and see how your installation process can look as smooth and coordinated as your finished product, thanks to ProCision.
