1. Start with the Cabinets
Reface or Replace?
Reface or Replace?
Cabinet refacing can save you up to 50%. If you're pretty satisfied with your kitchen layout, and your cabinet frames are in good shape, then refacing may be a better option for you.
If you'd like to change the current layout of your kitchen or your cabinet frames are not structurally sound, then new cabinets may be a better option.
Reface your base cabinets, and replace or add new cabinetry or island in a contrasting color.
Reface
Cabinet Refacing
Cabinet refacing has many upsides. It can save you money, and it is a fast and efficient way to update your kitchen quickly.
Because you can reface your cabinets without changing your countertops, sinks and faucets, you can update your kitchen over time. This can allow you to spread your remodeling dollars over a period of several years, refacing now, then replacing countertops at a later date - or replace countertops now and reface cabinets at a later date.
Replace
New Kitchen Cabinets
New cabinets also have many positives. Selecting new kitchen cabinets gives you free reign to get the exact layout and cabinet options that work perfectly for you and your lifestyle.
Our talented designers will work closely with you to provide you with ideas and options that will give you the most function and beauty for your remodeling dollar.

4. Plan Your Remodeling Budget
Plan Your Budget
Plan Your Budget
The first step in any remodeling project should be to plan your budget. Decide how much you have to spend and how you're going to pay for it. If you are planning to move in the next few years, you should include only those items that will allow you to recoup your investment and that will help you to sell the house. Figure out what you can fit into your budget and whether you can afford to do it all at once or if it would work better to spread it out over a few years.
Study the Averages
Study the Averages
To help you set your budget, these averages might help.
In a full remodeling project, you can expect to spend approximately 30% on cabinets, 15% on appliances and ventilation, 10% on countertops, 10% on flooring, 5% on lighting, 5% on plumbing and faucets, and 20% on installation.
Set Priorities
Set Priorities
Create a list of priorities. Decide what is most important to you and create a list. Make notes outlining which brands or items are must-haves and which ones are more generic for you. If budget becomes an issue, remove things from the bottom of the list first or look for alternative products for the items and brands that were least important to you.
Be Flexible
Be Flexible
With the wide variety of products available, there is literally a kitchen for every budget. Often times, there are opportunities to keep the items on your priority list by being open to different materials or manufacturers - with very little give-up in style or aesthetic. Let your designer know what your budget is and what your priorities are. Rely on them to provide you with options to achieve your goals. Good design can stretch any budget!
Keep Track
Track Your Progress
Finally, keep track of your spending. Sometimes the little things can start adding up. Keep a spreadsheet with all of your expenditures. If you find you are approaching your limit, it might be time for some design alternatives.

Step 2: Design
Once you've met with our designers, we will take your ideas back to our office and create a design that fits your lifestyle and needs, staying within your specified budget.
We provide you with a CAD design of your floorplan that will give you a good idea of how your new kitchen could look. If you're doing a full remodeling project, your design could include ideas for cabinetry, flooring, tiling, lighting, countertops, sinks and fixtures.
3. Approve

When the design is complete, we'll meet with you to answer any questions you might have and make modifications where necessary. We will assist you in making all of your selections from cabinetry to countertops, flooring and lighting, and everything in-between.
