Our Steps - From Start to Finish

Our Simple Process.

Step 1

Homeowner Contacts KDP

Take the first step towards bringing your vision to life by scheduling a meeting with us. We will listen to your goals and dive into the details of your project. Let us help turn your ideas into reality

Step 2

Meeting 1: Get Acquainted

Join us in our showroom where we can dive deeper into your unique vision and lifestyle requirements for your project. Experience our streamlined company process and gain insider knowledge on the world of cabinetry with our “cabinetry 101” lesson. Together, we will make initial door style and finish selections that align with your unique project needs. From there, we’ll discuss cabinet counts, styles, finishes, and features to provide you with a preliminary estimate for your custom cabinetry.

Step 3

To The Drawing Board

From start to finish, Kitchen Design Partners will guide you through the design process and provide you with preliminary sketches that will leave you marveling at the possibilities. You can expect to see detailed floor plans, unique elevations, and stunning perspective views that bring your vision to life. What’s more, we’ll also provide a precise cabinetry estimate so that you can make an informed decision about your investment.

Step 4

Re-fine the Design

We refine and tailor every aspect of our designs to ensure functionality and practicality. Moreover, we add distinctive and exquisite design elements that will awe everyone who sees your project.

Step 5

Meeting 2+: Design Presentation And Discussion

Meet at our showroom where we’ll walk you through our stunning designs and provide you with an estimate. We’ll also sit down with you, take your feedback and answer any questions or concerns you may have.

Step 6

Field Measurement

In order to ensure perfection in our cabinetry project, we must venture to the job site to confirm measurements and make any necessary design adjustments before finalizing our order. This step is crucial in guaranteeing the flawless execution of our vision.

Step 7

Meeting 3+: Final Meeting: Client Approval

Join us at our showroom to put the finishing touches on your dream space. We sit down with you, go over all of the final documents, and get your expert approval before we move forward. When you’re here, we’ll also go over our design agreement and design fee (which is included in the cabinet deposit).

Step 8

Order Cabinets

Once the selections have been made, our team submits the details to the factory, which provides us with an estimated shipping date. KDP coordinates this timing with you and your installer.

Step 9

Delivery Date Confirmed

After coordinating with you and your installation team, we’ll schedule a time to meet and discuss any final details for your project. Our team will work closely with you to select the most suitable and stylish options for your countertops and tiles, ensuring that your expectations are exceeded. Plus, we’ll be with you every step of the way, ensuring a smooth and effortless process.

Step 10

Cabinet Delivery

Cabinets are delivered directly by the manufacturer or by our trusted third party moving company into your home. Your cabinets arrive with ease, either directly from the manufacturer or through our dependable third-party movers. Our team is there to greet the delivery and ensure everything runs seamlessly. Following this, we provide the installer with a project binder that covers every single detail of the installation process and answer any queries you may have. You then provide the balance due for the cabinets

Step 11

On The Job Follow Up

Our team is in constant communication with your installer, answering any questions that come up along the way. Plus, we make sure to visit the job site during installation to ensure everything goes smoothly.

Step 12

Finishing Touches

If you purchase a countertop product, tile, or any other materials from us, we will facilitate that process as well.

Step 13

Completion!

The job is complete! Another happy KDP client can now enjoy their new wonderful kitchen or bathroom.

When we made the decision to remodel our kitchen, we knew that finding the perfect kitchen designer would be a difficult task.

Nancy made herself available and provided guidance and support until we were completely satisfied.We are absolutely thrilled with the end result and would recommend Kitchen Design Partners to anyone who is considering a new kitchen.

I just competed my first project with Nancy and loved her and her team so much that we started a major master bath remodel. Nancy is very detailed and competent, she has great ideas and listens to the client. I strongly suggest everyone use Nancy, she is amazing. And, by the way, I'm not the easiest person to work with and Nancy handled every situation perfectly.
Response from the owner: Thank you so much for taking the time to share your positive experience working with Nancy and her team. We are thrilled to hear that your first project went so well that you've decided to start a major master bath remodel with us.

We worked with KDP this year for a major kitchen remodel. Nancy and Cecilia had so many amazing design ideas. We had a difficult space to work with, and the design solutions truly transformed not only our kitchen, but the feel of our entire home. They were front and center for every step of the process from design, to construction, to install. I can't thank them enough for their creativity, design, and support during the stress of a major remodel. Thank you KDP!
Response from the owner: Thank you so much! we enjoyed working with you and just love how everything turned out. Your kitchen is stunning. we hope you and the family are cooking up a storm in there!
We worked with KDP on our complete kitchen remodel.We are first time homeowners and this was our first major renovation to our house.Nancy and her team were wonderful partners in this process, and were essential in creating the kitchen that we envisioned for our house.KDP gave us the support, guidance, and feedback we needed every step of the way to feel confident in the decisions that we were making.There are so many different products, styles, and themes to be considered in every decision and the KDP team gave us the tools and confidence we needed to make the right choices.The scope of a complete kitchen design can be overwhelming, but the team at KDP worked with us in a way to make the whole process manageable.Nancy and her team were very attentive, prompt, flexible, and understanding of our needs and the obstacles/changes needed on the road to completion.The KDP team also provided us with information and insight on all the things that we never thought to think about from workflow details to long term kitchen maintenance and needs.This really helped us feel safe throughout this process. Kitchen renovations can be a lengthy project where you are without an important part of your house.Having a designer and team we could trust to lead us safely to completion was invaluable during this time.Overall, we have been very pleased with our kitchen and to be able to have worked with Nancy and her team in this process.I recommend them highly and would not hesitate to work with them again.
Response from the owner: Thank you for taking the time to write such a glowing review, Donald. It means so much to us that you chose Kitchen Design Partners for your first major renovation and that we were able to help bring your vision to life.We hope to have the opportunity to work with you again in the future!
I have known Nancy for about a decade now, and she has been great to work with. She listens carefully to the client, follows up in a timely manner, and is a joy to work with. As an architect, that makes our job that much easier and better. Plus, her sense of design is excellent, making a kitchen not only look great but also makes the function and flow of the space work out perfectly!
Response from the owner: Thank you! It’s always a great pleasure working together with you and your team!
We loved working with Nancy to create our dream kitchen. She was incredibly knowledgeable about her product, and helped us to make cabinet and countertop decisions that best fit our needs. Nancy did a great job trouble shooting when one of our cabinets came in wrong and made sure the project turned out perfect. All in all we could not recommend Nancy and Kitchen Design Partners more!!
Response from the owner: Thank you so much Lori! We so enjoyed working with you and the team and are also thrilled with the results.
