If you are thinking of renovating your kitchen or building a new one can know the cost can run into the tens of thousands of dollars.
That's too much for some homeowners and contractors in Saskatchewan, so they are buying their kitchens south of the border.
Lenny Protz is building a luxury home in the Rosewood neighborhood in Saskatoon. I wanted to high-end countertops and cabinets.
"We wanted something that was going to be solid, with a greater degree type fittings with them," said Protz.
But Protz said estimates he received some carpenters Saskatoon for your kitchen and bathrooms, including installation, range from $ 60,000 to $ 70,000.
"I thought that was high," Protz said. "And it's not just cabinets. It's all because the market has dictated that."
Protz went online and sent his measurements at Menards, shop for home improvement in Minot, North Dakota. The price was 42,000 Canadian dollars.
"Quality is the word I would use," Protz said. "It is solid wood, solid maple and has finished in dovetail."
Three weeks after placing your order, Protz made the seven-hour trip to Minot to pick up your cabinets and quartz countertops.
"That's fantastic," he said. "That's incredibly fast. Normally, you would have to wait a couple of months here."
After the exchange, travel and installation, Protz said he saved $ 20,000.
CBC contacted several carpenters in Saskatoon, but none of them would agree to be interviewed, saying they have not heard of people going to the US for furniture and not seen as a problem. Question the quality of the cabinets, service and savings shopping south of the border.
The Consumers Association of Saskatchewan, said Canadians shopping in the US You may have trouble getting repairs if any problems with the materials and warranties.
But that's not stopping the rush. CBC says Menards is selling more than ever people in Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Alberta.
Protz said Menards shopping is not without problems. The cabinets come in limited sizes and ordered him not trim enough so had to make a second trip to Minot.
But that does not bother Protz. This is the third of the kitchen you have purchased from Menards and said it would buy back American.
"Worth the drive" Protz said. "I'm very happy, very happy."
