Recommendations for Kitchen Cabinets, Electrician, Plumber?
We are working on designing our new kitchen and remodel (new bathrooms, dormer, etc!) - so exciting and scary at the same time...
We are doing most of the work ourselves, but need to find a NH certified plumber and electrician - does anyone have any suggestions/recommendations? We are in Nashua...
Also, does anyone have recommendations on where to look for kitchen cabinets? I know we can look at Home Depot and Lowes, but was wondering about other places that might be more competitive.
All suggestions, including individuals/organizations to stay away from, would be most appreciated!
Thanks in advance 
Cori

Plumbing:
I LOVE Wells out of Nashua. They do a great job.
As far as cabinets...we priced a lot, and got an amazing price from a guy named Dave that I found on Craigslist. I know, it sounds sketchy, but I've touched and handled the cabinets and they are quality, just not a big name. We ended up having to scrap the project to do DH's office when he got a new job, but we will DEF do our cabinets through him when we do the kitchen next year- no one came remotely close to the price. There is not a huge selection but for the price it was worth it for us!
His site is http://otl-handyman.com/
Electrician, I can't help... sorry!
I can help with an electrician:
Custom Electric in Merrimack 424-7557. http://customelectricnh.com/
DH's grandfather owned this company for years before he passed away. They recently re-wired my parents house and they did an awesome job.
Great recommendations! Does anyone have any others in case these folks are booked?
Also - any suggestions on countertop, particularly stone/granite/corian?
Thanks again!

I have personally used both companies and give them my highest recommendation!
Hi there -
For kitchen cabinets I HIGHLY recommend working with Liz at Milford Lumber. She did the entire design and helped us through the entire selection process for our new home that we built last summer. Loved it. And she had so many great ideas.
Milford Lumber also had an excellent selection of counter tops from corian to granite.
Good luck! I have some pics of our cabinets in my bio.
My DH and I just re-did our kitchen and did all of the work ourselves. For cabinets we bought ours from IKEA. I love the look of them and the quality is good. If you are willing to do ALOT of work yourselves IKEA can save you a ton of money. We had to do the kitchen design ourselves but they have a program online that makes it pretty easy. You also have to put the cabinets together, they come flat packed.
It was SO much work but we are verry happy with our IKEA cabinets.
thank you all. I appreciate all of the great suggestions. have great weekends!
