If you are in the market for high-quality cabinets, you can rely on KD Kitchen, Baths & More to provide them. We are locally owned & operated in Williamsville, IL, though we are able to offer our services all throughout Illinois.
"OH MY GOD! This company is beyond amazing. We were in the market to get our cabinets refaced and let me tell you, this company blew us out of the water on so many levels! For starters, we looked at a couple big box retailers and their prices were extremely high so when we met with the owner Dennis, we were skeptical. Once he gave us the price, I felt like it was too good to be true. His price was 40% cheaper than the big box stores and this was getting everything we wanted from Dennis. Dennis was one of the most professional people I have ever had the pleasure with dealing with. He was always on time, extremely professional and honesty. The person who worked on out cabinets was Joe. Let me tell you, this man is an artist! His attention to detail on the cabinets was amazing. I feel like they have revived our kitchen and our house. I would highly recommend this company to anyone wanting to do a cabinet refacing! Thank you again!!"

"What should one say about a company that would be willing to install a water heater without remedying an issue that would VOID THE WARRANTY? This is the case for an interaction I had with Beis Plumbing today. I called to arrange getting an estimate for the installation of a new water heater. I found that their standard procedure is to give a phone quote and no home visit. Admittedly, other companies have a similar policy. When I explained that an in-home estimate from another company identified a water pressure problem that could affect the longevity of the water heater and quite possibly result in a failed inspection, I was told that they could just add the cost of a Pressure Control Valve to the phone quote. I stated that I was not comfortable with simply getting a phone bid. How could an accurate quote be given without reviewing the location for the installation and other possible issues? But, I sent the 2 photos of the water heater that they requested. A short time later, I received a call from a Beis representative wanting to give me a quote for the water heater and installation. She was aware that I wanted an in-home visit and told me that they would require a $95 charge for such a visit. I explained that I am not willing to pay $95 for a quote that I may or may not accept. The call ended amicably and I crossed Beis Plumbing off of my list. A short time later, I received another call from a Beis representative. The guy said he was calling to give me a quote on the installation of a water heater. I told him that I had already spoken with someone from his company and I relayed the same information I gave to the previous representative. I also told him that I am not comfortable because if I had not known about the water pressure issue and told them, I would have received an unwanted surprise of a large add-on cost at the time of installation. It was at that point, he stated something that made my jaw drop. This guy had the audacity to tell me that I would not be required to have the water pressure issue resolved. Beis would still do the install. He then went on to state that WARRANTY ON THE WATER HEATER WOULD JUST BE VOID. I was flabbergasted that a representative of a company would tell a prospective customer that the company would install a product knowing that the warranty would be void. When I asked him why a customer would want a product installed knowing that the warranty would be void, he stated that he was ending the call. To me, this indicates a willingness to perform sub-standard work as long as they could point the finger at the customer. Would you want such a company doing work for you?"

Water softeners consist of three main components: a mineral tank, a brine tank, and a control valve. In some smaller units, the mineral tank and brine tank are combined into one cabinet.
Professionals install whole-home systems at the point of entry of the main water line. Smaller units are installed under sinks or near a washer—these units only soften the water for that fixture, not the entire home.
Mineral Tank: Hard water passes into the mineral tank through resin beads, and an ion exchange occurs. Magnesium and calcium ions are exchanged for sodium or potassium ions from the brine tank.
Brine Tank: The brine tank contains sodium or potassium to recharge the resin.
Control Valve: The control valve determines when to clean the resin beads.
Choosing between a salt-based or potassium-based water softener depends on your priorities. Salt-based systems effectively remove hard-water minerals, regenerate efficiently, and are cost-effective. However, they may not be ideal for individuals on low-sodium diets. Potassium-based systems neutralize minerals without removing them and regenerate more frequently. They are more expensive but offer a healthier and more environmentally friendly option. If sodium levels are a concern and cost isn't a major factor, a potassium system may be the better choice.
To calculate your water softener's capacity, determine your grains per gallon (GPG) number by:
Multiplying the number of people in your home by 90. The average number of gallons used per person for washing, drinking, and cooking ranges from 80 to 100 gallons per day.
Multiplying that result by the hardness of your water. The average grains per gallon in the United States is 10 but can range from 0 to 17. You can find your GPG number by purchasing an at-home water testing kit.
Installing a water softener takes between two to four hours on average. The exact duration depends on the complexity of the unit and whether additional plumbing or electrical work is required. If modifications to existing pipes are necessary, installation may take longer. Preparing the installation area by clearing any obstructions can help streamline the process.
Water softeners can last up to 25 years with proper maintenance and care. The lifespan depends on the type and quality of the unit you choose. Single-tank electric water softeners may last around 12 years, while higher-quality models tend to last longer. Regular maintenance, such as routine inspections and timely replacement of salts or potassium, helps extend the life of your system. Most water softeners require minimal repairs over their lifespan.
