Our Steps - From Start to Finish

Our Simple Remodeling 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. You pay the design fee first, and it is subtracted at your cabinet order.

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. Your final cabinet payment is due when the cabinets ship from the supplier.

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.

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.

If you have any questions or need any follow up from us in future, we encourage you call and we will happily be of assistance. Our suppliers’ warranties and our excellent customer service provide an unsurpassed level of commitment and care; today and for years to come.

We invite you to begin this exciting kitchen design process today!

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!!
