1. Conceptual Design – We have a conversation about your aesthetic preferences, priorities, and budget. This is the theoretical planning stage, where you can come with images of kitchens you like or we can talk through your options. A few things to consider in this stage are how you use your kitchen—are you a gourmet chef or is it an area where your kids do homework? What are your priorities? Is it more important to have a large refrigerator or to use space economically?At this stage we also discuss wish list items and don’t-want items; sometimes it’s more helpful to know that you don’t want another overhanging pot rack if you run into the one you currently have!
2. Design – We complete site visits to measure dimensions, while finalizing the design plans. It is frequently helpful for clients to see 2-D blueprints and then stand in their own kitchen space for an explanation of what will go where in their renovated space. This can help determine flow patterns and benefits of a new layout.If you’re getting new appliances, we explore your ideal placement along with aspects like energy efficiency, ease of use, how they’re cleaned, and safety features, especially if you have children. Choices made at this stage also include tile, flooring, and appliance finishes.
3. Construction – This is the exciting stage where physical work in your new kitchen has arrived! Tasks include product delivery and placement. If the layout of your new kitchen will feature expanded boundaries or the removal of a wall, this is the stage where those structural changes occur. With our clients always in mind, we work to keep as much of your home accessible as possible during the construction phase.
4. Installation – With the arrival of materials, we can put appliances, cabinetry, and fixtures in place. At this point, we also install countertops, lighting, new windows, backsplashes—anything that you want to be in your new dream kitchen.
5. Clean Up – Part of putting our clients first is ensuring we are leaving your home clean and ready for your use. We don’t leave behind building materials or put off cleaning after our installation; cleaning is a part of our renovation process so that you can start using your new kitchen on the first night!
