Kitchen & Bath Design
I. Initial Consultation
Thinking about remodeling your kitchen/bath, or are you building a new home? It is never too early to involve us in your project, and our consultation phase is free of charge. We invite you into our showroom for a tour of our cabinetry displays, where you can touch, see and experience all of the quality differences and design details that set our product apart.
We will walk you through the various options, look at our collection of finishes, and discuss your vision for the project. If you have an architectural drawing or rough sketch with dimensions of the space, please share that information with us. Alternatively, an experienced member of our design staff will come to your home to take measurements.
Our initial goal is to answer all of your questions and learn as much as possible about your project in order to prepare an accurate “ball park” estimate for your review. Our 3D computer renderings will help you visualize the transformation of your space.
II. Design
After you have reviewed and are satisfied with our initial proposal, we move forward by charging a non-refundable design retainer fee. The fee is 10% of the project estimate and is later applied toward the purchase price of your cabinetry. We will then work on preparing a detailed design package and providing expert guidance to help make the best selections.
We have the resources to offer you a completely turnkey design - including countertops, appliances, flooring, lighting, plumbing fixtures and more.
III. Order, Delivery & Installation
Once the design has been perfected, all decisions have been made, and the final drawings have been reviewed/signed, your order will be submitted to the manufacturer(s) in Italy. A 50% deposit is applied to initiate your order (minus the 10% design deposit taken prior). The remaining 50% is due when the product arrives at a local warehouse.
After order placement, lead time is typically 12-16 weeks for cabinetry. Before the product arrives, we will perform site visits, and coordinate any prep work with construction professionals. The cabinetry is unloaded at a professional receiving warehouse and delivered to your job site. A contract installation team will complete the job. Average installation time for our kitchens is 2 weeks.
