During our 3D design phase, we create a detailed model of your new kitchen. You’ll see the layout, cabinets and lighting before any work starts. This saves you time, stress and the cost of hiring a separate designer.

Question 1

How can you guarantee the price won’t go up after we start?

Accepted Answer

We use a Fixed Price Guarantee. Before any construction begins, we go over every detail during our 3D design phase. Once everything is approved, we give you one set price. That price does not change. We don’t add surprise fees, and we don’t give low estimates just to win the job. What we quote is what you pay.

Question 2

What is a good budget for a kitchen?

Accepted Answer

A good budget will usually be between 5% and 15% of the total value of your home. For instance, if your home is worth $500,000, a good budget would be between $25,000 and $75,000. This way, you are sure to have a high-quality renovation without over-improving your neighborhood.

Question 3

What adds the most value to a kitchen?

Accepted Answer

Remodeling the configuration for improved function and the addition of high end, new cabinetry bring the most value. Consumers are willing to pay more for an efficient, modernly equipped kitchen with plenty of storage. Installing hard, natural stone countertops (such as quartz) also yields a fine return on investment.

Question 4

What is the best time of year to remodel?

Accepted Answer

The most favorable time of year to renovate is typically considered to be late fall and winter (November through February). Demand for builders tends to be lower then, and it can sometimes result in slightly faster scheduling and lesser pressure to push material delivery.

Question 6

Is a full kitchen remodel worth it?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a complete kitchen renovation is usually well worth the expense. Kitchen remodels routinely yield one of the best return on investments (ROI) among all home remodeling projects, frequently recovering 60% to 80% of the expense in added value to the house.

Question 7

What is the biggest expense in a kitchen remodel?

Accepted Answer

The most expensive item typically is cabinetry and installation. Cabinets dictate the whole appearance and usage of the room. Depending on custom or semi-custom, this expense tends to account for 30% to 40% of the overall budget.

Question 8

Is $10,000 enough for a kitchen remodel?

Accepted Answer

No, $10,000 usually is not sufficient for a complete remodel or even a significant partial renovation when using professionals. You might spend $10,000 on very minor cosmetic improvements, such as new paint and some straightforward appliances, but it will not help towards new cabinets, countertops, or professional work.
