Step 1
Getting To Know You
Whether you have no idea where to start, or have a very specific idea in mind the first step is always to meet with us so we can learn about your project, and you can learn about our offerings. We want you to feel good about who you choose to do business with, and always invite our prospective clients to our showroom for a warm greeting and confident smile. We will ask you questions about how you cook, live and entertain to focus on the right layout and cabinetry for your needs.
Step 2
Initial Designs
Once we understand the functional goals of your project and design taste we put together options tailored to you and chat with you about cost for those options. Once we confirm your design and cost we then have our engineer create dimensional drawings measured to the tenth of an inch for a perfect fit. Next we put together your order, have a 3rd party review the drawings and the order to confirm that no mistakes have been made.
Step 3
Products Ordered
The order is placed and we communicate with our vendors to ensure timely delivery. At the same time we schedule installation. Once items are delivered we then check through the order to confirm all parts were sent, that the parts are correct and in perfect condition. If there are any issues we often times are able to solve it in-house and avoid costly schedule delays from waiting on the factory to resend parts.
Step 4
Installation
Working closely with your contractor, our installation team installs the cabinets and you are one step closer to your dream kitchen.
