Planning and Design Phase: Before we begin your kitchen transformation, we'll work with you to create a detailed plan. During our free in-home consultation, we'll assess your current space, discuss your vision, and provide recommendations based on your lifestyle needs. We encourage you to gather inspiration photos and create a wish list of must-have features.

Temporary Kitchen Setup: Since kitchen renovations can disrupt your daily routine, we recommend setting up a temporary cooking area. Consider moving your refrigerator to a nearby room and establishing a simple setup with a microwave, coffee maker, and basic dishes. We'll work with you to minimize disruption and keep you informed of our daily schedule.

Selecting Materials and Finishes: Our team will guide you through selecting cabinets, countertops, flooring, and fixtures. We recommend making these decisions early in the process to avoid delays. We'll provide samples and help you visualize how different materials will work together in your space.

We understand that the timeline is crucial, and we work diligently to complete projects on schedule while maintaining our high standards of quality.
