The following are general steps that clients will follow from the beginning of receiving
an estimate through the end of completion. Although many clients will encounter
similar situations, we approach each client individually, so there could be minor
differences between each project.
- The client roughly measures their kitchen and/or bathroom and makes a simple drawing
that shows the walls, appliances, doors, windows, and measurements. Next, the client
will come to our showroom, which is one of the largest kitchen showrooms in Orange County
County. Here they will see 15 full size kitchen displays, as well
as many other door styles. This will also be a chance for the client to see the
quality of our work in person, as well as the mechanisms and accessories that make
our kitchens unique. Once the customer has chosen a specific door style, a designer
will design the kitchen and/or bath based on the drawing provided by the customer
and estimate the project based on the door style the customer has chosen. The Preliminary
Budget Design and Estimate is absolutely free and is intended to give the
client an idea of what to expect for their upcoming project without having them
make any financial obligations until they are ready to work with us.
- Once the design and estimate is complete (usually within one week), the customer
will return to the showroom where they will meet with the designer. The designer
will present the customers the design, explaining it in detail with 3D images
and informing the customer to other options. The designer will also present the
estimate to the customer and answer any questions the customer may have. Every estimate
is broken down into four parts: Materials, Sales Tax, Delivery, and Installation.
- If the price of the project fits the customer's budget, and once the customer is
ready, an appointment will be set with designer to come to take professional measurements
of their home. The in-home consultation will include taking a second look at the
design and noting any changes that they client may want.
- With notes from the in-home consultation, the designer will rework the design according
to the new measurements and make any changes requested by the client.
- Once the design has been completed, another meeting will be set with the client
to review the design and cost estimate. The design will be revised until the client
feels it is perfect.
- When the final design is agreed upon, a contract will be prepared. At the time the
contract is signed, a 50% deposit for cost of materials is required.
- Based on each project, a scheduled timeline will be organized to help the client.
The schedule will cover everything from demolition to completion.
- Production of the client's kitchen or bath usually within 4 weeks, during this time
the contractor will be preparing the room for installation. Preparations include
demolition, patching drywall, new flooring if wanted, and moving plumbing and electrical
if necessary.
- When the project is ready for installation, the cabinets will be delivered and the
client will pay the second half of the materials, as well as the sales tax and delivery.
Installation for an average sized kitchen usually takes 2 to 3 days.
- Once the cabinets are installed, the client will pay for the installation and the
countertop fabricator will make a template of the countertop. Fabrication of the
countertop usually takes 7 working days
. In most cases, installation of the countertop is the final piece of the remodeling
puzzle and will complete the client's project!
