If you’re considering a remodel this year, have you thought through your timeline? Many clients we meet with want the new kitchen for Thanksgiving, or the basement finished before winter comes back. So you probably think you can give us a call once school is back in session and we can get rolling.
We hate to say it but… you’re wrong. The timeline to implement a remodel is relative to each project and client, but in our experience, bathrooms take an average of 5 months. Kitchens take an average of 6 months. Basements take about 6 months as well.
That’s right. S I X M O N T H S. We’re looking at you now, November! Before you scoff, laugh, or faint, let’s break it down into two distinct sections: design and build.
The design process seems simple enough. Perhaps you have a Pinterest board going for your kitchen. And bathroom. And closet. We all do! You’ve likely been collecting ideas for months, years even. Maybe you know exactly what you’re looking for. Whether this sounds like you or not, you’ve decided it’s time to call in the professionals and get this project moving.
After our team meets you in a virtual design consultation, understands why you’re investing in a specific project, and what you need to accomplish in
A visit to our showroom can reveal to you just how many decisions come into play when redesigning a kitchen, first floor,
From flooring to pendant lighting, backsplash tile to custom interior cabinet storage, our product selections will leave you wanting for nothing. Selections can take even the most decisive of clients several design meetings to finalize. If you have analysis paralysis or don’t know exactly what you’re looking for, it will take that much longer (good thing you have a coach alongside you!). Once complete, drawings are finalized and submitted to the appropriate municipality for permits.
While your drawings are in for permit (which can take several weeks), your selections are ordered so they’re in-hand when construction is ready to begin. This allows our team to keep your home under construction for as little time as possible, so we don’t demolish the place and leave it a wreck while we wait for your cabinetry to arrive. As soon as your permits are approved, it’s time to move on to phase two: build.
While hiccups are bound to happen, your worries will never be more than a phone call away from being answered. Your dedicated project manager keeps your project on time and on budget, ensuring safety, cleanliness, and excellence in implementation.
