   through our many displays and photos of kitchens we've completed.

If You Like What You See . . .

1. We will come to your home to evaluate your existing kitchen and discuss your needs.

2. We will confirm or adjust your budget if needed, and if we're in agreement you may choose to pay a design retainer which will allow us to take detailed measurements and produce floor plans, elevations and in most cases photo-realistic color perspectives of your new kitchen.

3. That the design will allow us to produce detailed specifications and firm up the budget for you.

4. Upon completion of the design we will meet with you again to present the design and proposal to you, at which time we can discuss any modifications you would like to make.

The Installation Process

1. As applicable, we will make arrangements with your contractor, architect, or designer to coordinate installation, and in some instances we will handle some of or even the entire project from start to finish using highly skilled cabinet installers, granite fabricators, tile setters, electricians, plumbers, painters, and others as needed. Whatever you need us to do and whatever makes the most sense, we are here to help you and all involved in the creation of your new kitchen.

2. If necessary, we will remove your existing cabinetry and appliances.

3. To ensure a quality installation, we will meet the installer at your home to discuss the details of your plan and installation.
