Planning a

Kitchen Remodel?

You might not need a celebrity chef like Giada De Laurentiis or Bobby Flay to prepare you for your upcoming kitchen remodel. But a good plan and a top-notch designer are still the secrets to success. That’s where we come in!

GETTING STARTED WITH YOUR BUDGET

Before doing anything else, write down your vision, goals, and budget for the project. Be realistic about the budget. And ideally, the money you’ve set aside for the kitchen project should go into a bank account exclusively for it.

DESIGNERS MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE

The first hire you make should be a professional kitchen designer – someone who can give you an honest opinion on how well your draft budget and timeline will work and help you think of anything that might be missing.

What product lines can you afford within your budget? Do you plan to splurge on countertops and save on cabinets? A good designer will help you find the products that meet your design and budget needs.

Determine Your Budget

Speaking of budget, there’s a lot to think about. Following is just a sample checklist of common budget items required for a kitchen remodel. Trust that your designer will be with you every step of the way in determining how much you’ll need for things like:
