Kitchen Planner
A 5 min quiz to help you start to plan your kitchen remodel and get an idea of the ROI for your project.
About The Kitchen Planner
Our kitchen planner quiz will ask a series of questions about your home, how you use your kitchen and it’s condition. Then it will create a report that outlines what to consider when you remodel your kitchen. Average completion time is under 5 minutes.
The report in broken into 5 Categories:
-
- General Home Condition
- Layout & Function
- Appearance
- Lifestyle
- ROI (return on investment)
You will get a score for each category as well as an overall score. You can see the results of the kitchen assessment instantly but we will also email you a copy.
What About Cost?
There are 3 important parts to planning a remodel: knowing what you want done, finding a contractor who can deliver the quality and service you want and cost.
Our Remodeling Cost Calculator is useful tool for exploring cost. We also have a cost page where you can see average costs. Or check out our project gallery where we list cost and timeline info for every project we complete.

Planning & Construction
Project manager is on site daily for quality control.
Follow Up & Warranty
6 month ‘tune up’ visit and a 5 year warranty on all work.
Concept and Budget is the first step so you know what to expect and plan with confidence that there won’t be any major surprises.
Design & Ordering. Once you approve your estimate we will ask for a design retainer equal to 5% of the estimate and then schedule 2-4 design meetings to finalize all the details and create a fixed price proposal for you.
Once you approve the fixed price proposal we will collect a deposit, order everything for you and finalize permits, scheduling etc…
Before construction starts your project manager will schedule a ‘preconstruction meeting’ in your home to review things like job site protection, parking, access etc…
During construction your project manager is on site every day for quality control, keeping the job site clean and organized and provide progress reports.
When construction is complete we do a follow up visit after 6 months and check in annually for the remainder of our 5 year warranty period.
