F.A.Q

​​
                                                                             ​WHAT IS INVOLVED WHEN PLANNING YOUR KITCHEN, BATH, OR HOME REMODEL?

We will need to work together in developing your wants and needs in your remodel. We will first begin with our design phase.  During this process we will blend both your ideas along with our design and remodeling skills to come up with various options that will ultimately lead to the perfect plan for your new remodel.

                                                                                 HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE FOR MY KITCHEN, BATH OR HOME REMODEL?    
                            
This question depends on how extensive the remodel project is going to be. An average remodel takes 4-6 weeks from start to finish. However a lot of countertop companies can't template until the cabinets are installed. After templating you then will have 2-3 weeks for an install. After the install you will need time to hook up plumbing and install the backsplash and finish up all the loose ends. Working together with both your designer and installer can make things stay on track by preselecting materials you will need and having a realistic timeline.  

                                                                          WHAT DOES IT TAKE WHEN CREATING AN OPEN CONCEPT KITCHEN FLOOR PLAN?

Every Kitchen can have different requirements in order to create an open concept kitchen floor plan, which is one of the most popular models that is done for homeowners today. By opening the kitchen into the living areas creates a feeling of spaciousness in your home that enables for a more flexible layout as your family grows and changes. Whether you remove all or part of a wall separating your kitchen from your living areas, you can easily transform both areas of your home. With today’s lifestyle being less      formal than years past formal dining rooms and isolated kitchens do not fit with how family’s function   today. By opening your kitchen to the other living spaces in your home will allow for interaction between family and friends to socialize no matter which room you are in.
 
                                                                                                        WHAT IS THE KITCHEN WORK TRIANGLE?

When considering a new layout for your kitchen, we look at the kitchen work triangle.  The kitchen work triangle is a time- tested design used to make the kitchen work more efficiently by allowing for a good traffic pattern in the kitchen. This area is formed by the space between the kitchen sink, refrigerator and stove. The idea is that the kitchen items need to be convenient to each other and have adequate counter space next to them for necessary food preparation.
 
                                                                              ​          WHAT WILL IT COST FOR MY KITCHEN/BATH OR HOME REMODEL?

 This answer depends on many factors.  When doing a remodeling project there are many factors to consider such as material, labor, and possible overages. Sometimes there are site unseen things that may come up in a remodel so give yourself a little wiggle room when doing your budget.  No two projects are the same so if you are an HGTV watcher or talking to friends remember your project is unique and is in the hands of a good designer and remodeling firm. You will get proper guidance for a realistic budget.
                                                      
                                                                                                        CAN I REUSE MY KITCHEN CABINETS?   
     
Kitchen cabinets can be reused d if you are looking to do a quick fix and not need to change the floor plan. Often the old hinges and drawer glides show their age and new cabinets are a better solution due to the fact once countertops are installed you will not want to change your mind. It is more cost effective to change the cabinet before you invest in new tops.
                                                                               
​                                                                                                  CAN I DO PART OF THE PROJECT MYSELF?

Yes! We love DIY projects. We can simply design your project and drop ship to the site for you to take it from there. Every project is unique, we can work with you to make sure you do as much on your own as you are comfortable with. As long as we both know who is responsible for what part of the project we can work together to make sure it comes together.
