Initial Professional Design Consultation

We will visit with you in your home at your convenience and view the space you plan to remodel. We will discuss the pros and cons of your existing kitchen while listening to your needs and wants in your new kitchen. We will offer professional advice to make your kitchen more workable and livable.

Computer Automated Drawings Consultation

We will provide computer automated drawings to help you visualize your new kitchen. We use the "CabinetWare" software which is the leader in the Kitchen Design Industry. We will redraw your design as many times as is needed for you to achieve the kitchen of your dreams!

Complete Pricing Consultation

We provide complete pricing. We include everything your cabinetry will need. This includes handles and/or pulls, toe board, light valance, crown moulding, etc. We do not provide you with a low price to get your business and then start adding items that should have been included in the original estimate.

* Professional Installation Services We offer

Preparation: Wood Plane

Professional installation by the cabinetmakers who crafted your cabinetry.
If a cabinet needs modification due to site conditions, it can be manufactured and back to your kitchen usually within the same day.
Customer Satisfaction is a priority. We do everything within our power to give you the same quality and craftsmanship in our installation as we do in our cabinetry.

Installation of your Cabinetry and Counters
We install everything we manufacture. You can rest assured that the same quality and craftsmanship that goes into the building of your cabinetry also goes into our installation. We use our own cabinetmakers to install our products.

Coordinate with any other Trades involved in your Project
Our typical installation requires two days. In order to install a kitchen professionally, it takes time. We will give you a professional installation in a reasonable amount of time. We will not sacrifice quality for the sake of time!

* Remodeling Suggestions

Preparation for an enjoyable remodeling project:

Remove and box all the kitchen items. Place them in a room that you will probably use as the temporary kitchen during your remodeling project. Don't forget to label the boxes! It will be more fun moving back in to your new kitchen if you know what is in the boxes.

Don't forget about the refrigerator! You will need a temporary area to relocate the refrigerator during the remodeling project.

You will probably need a microwave and a stock of frozen microwavable meals.

Don't forget the coffee maker (filters and coffee are important also).

You will need an alternate water source for meal preparation and clean up.

Plastic utensils and paper plates are also a good idea.

Make a list of the restaurants you've been meaning to visit. If you get a little bored with the initial microwave meals, you might need this list for a fresh and exciting meal!
