Our Comprehensive Process

From initial consultation to final installation, our team works closely with you every step of the way. Our process is designed to ensure your vision becomes a reality, exceeding your expectations at each stage.

Phase I: Design Drawings, Measurements, and Review

We begin by thoroughly measuring your space, taking meticulous notes to capture every detail. Then, we translate these measurements into detailed design drawings, creating a blueprint for your dream kitchen. Every cabinet is meticulously drawn to the inch, ensuring a perfect fit. We invite you, your architect, or your builder to join us for a review, discussing the "what goes where" elements of your kitchen and exploring the most efficient ways to organize the space. We delve into the daily rhythms of your life in the kitchen, considering both routine tasks and special occasions. Based on your vision and our expertise, we develop a final design concept that seamlessly blends with the surrounding architectural style.

Once the design concept takes shape, we shift our focus to the finishes. Tile, countertops, lighting, and color are carefully selected to create a unique and personalized aesthetic. To bring your design to life, we offer 3-D renderings that allow you to visualize the finished space, the materials, and the overall palette. At the end of this phase, you'll receive a complete set of architectural drawings, meticulously crafted in AutoCAD, providing a precise representation of your kitchen design.

Phase II: Cabinetry Ordering

Leveraging the comprehensive information gathered in Phase I, we prepare a formal cabinetry order, cabinet by cabinet. Having secured your final approval on the design, we submit the order for fabrication, ensuring every detail aligns with your vision.

Phase III: Delivery

We personally oversee the delivery of your cabinetry, meticulously reviewing each box upon arrival. With a keen eye for detail, we ensure that all components arrive in perfect condition, ready for the installation phase.

Phase IV: Installation

Our skilled installation team is on-site throughout the entire process, addressing any questions and ensuring a smooth and efficient installation. We coordinate closely with plumbers, electricians, flooring installers, appliance specialists, tile setters, and countertop fabricators, ensuring a seamless integration between all aspects of the kitchen.

Phase V: Punchlist and Beyond

We pride ourselves on providing white-glove service, offering a final walkthrough to meticulously evaluate every aspect of the completed kitchen. We address any minor details or adjustments, ensuring your satisfaction. Our commitment doesn't end with installation; we remain readily available for any questions, feedback, or future cabinetry needs as your household evolves.
