Process

1

Design Consultation & Estimate

During our first meeting we will:

​

  • discuss your aesthetic and functional goals for your kitchen, bath (or other custom millwork) project, and how your lifestyle informs the ideal layout of your space. Existing floor plans and photos are helpful but not required. 

  • define your budget, approximate remodeling timeline, and a clear list of priorities

  • review material samples and options for custom cabinetry, countertops/stone, flooring/tile, plumbing fixtures, hardware, and lighting

 

The project scope defined in the initial consultation will inform our preliminary design proposal, estimated timeline and ballpark project estimate.

2

Deposit & Site Visit

A non-refundable deposit of $1,000.00 is required and will go directly towards your cabinetry order once placed.

 

  • Following receipt of the deposit, our team conducts a site visit to gather measurements and identify any potential space-planning or layout challenges to consider

  • We capture detailed photos and dimensions which are used to generate accurate design plans for your renovation

3

Design Refinement

After the site visit, you will:

​

  • receive a mood board that visually articulates the style goals of the space

  • review and approve final material selections, scaled drawings, 3D renderings and project specifications

  • review and approve a detailed cost estimate

4

Approval & Orders

After approval of the design specifications:

​

  • payment will be accepted for project materials

  • orders for custom cabinetry, flooring, countertops, stone, tile, and hardware will be placed 

  • a timeline will be shared with you that sets expectations for the project start date, anticipated renovation timeline, and potential logistical nuances

5

Deliveries & Installation

Each part of the project has a different lead time, and we will plan to streamline deliveries as much as possible for you. 

 

  • We will accept and hold shipments that our workshop can accommodate until they can be accepted at the site. 

  • We will set a plan ahead of time for installation

  • You have the option of working with your own contractor or our team on the installation of your project

6

Client Satisfaction

During the installation process we provide support to ensure that your renovation or new-build project is installed according to the specifications of our design. We are available for any questions and/or concerns that may arise during this final phase, and conduct a walkthrough at the end of installation to capture any punch-list items.

 

We are dedicated to making sure that you are happy with your new and improved space before we close your project!
