In all our years of designing and renovating, one room holds the trump card as Most Intimidating to Homeowners - the kitchen.
The kitchen is the heart of the home and a gathering place for our families. So it makes sense that the pressure is on to get it right. Another reason it is daunting is the seemingly endless design selections required. Tile, cabinets, countertops, appliances, flooring, sinks, fixtures….on and on into eternity.

Items to consider would be any structural changes, square footage, and finish selections. This estimate is a starting point that we use to build on until we can get our eyes on the space. You’ll find a lot of helpful information in our pricing guide.
