By  0 Comments

One of the most inexpensive and easiest projects to update your home’s interior is adding fresh hardware. New pulls, hinges, door sets, latches and more can be installed in just a few days for your kitchen, bath and many other areas in your home. At KC Building Supply, southwest corner of 75th Street and I-35, experienced staff can guide you through this updating project.

Hardware products at KC Building Supply range from bath accessories and door levers to mail boxes and cabinet pulls. Selections include entry-level pieces for the budget conscious up to the most discriminating buyer. Styles range from traditional to avant-garde contemporary.

 

Depth of Choice for Homeowners

“We offer a broad assortment of products across the style spectrum,” noted Jay Waldenmeyer, owner, KC Building Supply. “Within that, we feature door hardware, house numbers, towel bars, cabinet hardware and more for the kitchen and bath. In fact, we offer everything related to hardware products for the home.”

The selection is phenomenal at KC Building Supply and so is its business history. The facility has served KC-metro general contractors, retail consumers and remodeling contractors for 26 years. The commercial and residential business features a 4,000-square-foot showroom and 115,000-square-foot warehouse; both are filled with the latest building products.

 

Within those spaces, KC Building Supply offers a huge selection topped off with a friendly, helpful staff. Their experience and knowledge enable KC Building Supply to stand out from the rest of the competition. “We have the motto of people, product and performance. That’s what we’re built on,” remarked Jay. “In terms of people, this goes back to a knowledgeable team. Our staff has been helping people for 10, 20 and 30 years or more. Our product awareness and the ability to direct the consumer are significant. At KC Building Supply, you’re in a place where people are very knowledgeable.”

 

Customer-Friendly Staff and Showroom

The broad range of products at KC Building Supply allows you to pick from entry-level offerings to premium designer products and those in between. You’ll find quality brands and welcoming price points. Jay says the staff can assist nearly everyone as long as their expectations are in alignment with their budget. “We have good people who know the trends in the marketplace,” he noted. “We’ll get your cabinet layout, color code things for you and offer suggestions that you might consider.

 

Customers can meet with staff or their own interior designer in private consultation rooms at KC Building Supply to discuss selections. Samples can be checked out to match with existing pieces in the room you’re updating. “We have a kids’ room, too, to keep the little ones occupied while Mom and Dad shop,” laughed Jay.

 

Quick and Easy Updates

Working with the team at KC Building Supply is easy to do, and you’ll find that updating your home’s hardware is one of the simple things that most any owner can complete. Jay adds that replacing hinges and cabinet hardware is a great do-it-yourself project, adding a much-needed facelift to what you already have in your home. Basic tools are all that’s needed, and with the costs you save on labor, you might consider investing in higher-end hardware. “Once you’re finished, the look will be so impressive for your home,” promised Jay.

 

“Final costs are dependent on the product you select, but I’d estimate you’d be in the dollar plus range for hinges, and door knobs run from ten dollars to much more. But basic is very affordable. It’s not that expensive to upgrade with the hardware we offer at KC Building Supply.”

 

Measure Twice and Plan Ahead

Jay estimates that the average project to change all the hardware in a house takes about a weekend to complete. But he does recommend good solid planning beforehand to ensure the job goes smoothly. Depending on the hardware you select, you may need to place an order, and that time frame must be taken into consideration. He also affirms that measurements are extremely important. Many things are universal in homes, but Jay cautions that higher-end houses may be different. In those cases, accurate measuring must be completed by the homeowner.

 

The great service at KC Building Supply doesn’t end when the order is completed. “It’s our job to perform not only in providing a wide selection but getting the product to you,” offered Jay. “Many of our products can be delivered to your door at no charge. Our trucks are out in town all day, and we’ll get your selection to you without hassle.”

 

If you’re looking for a great way to update your home décor, consider changing out your hardware with the fantastic selection at KC Building Supply. This weekend project is one you can easily tackle, resulting in fashionable value for your home. HLM
