When in fact their main concern should be focused on finding a remodeling company has successfully proven themselves and offers a complete solution. Kitchen design Center is not a commodity store, though we do offer a product only package our main focus is on complete projects that require detail design and decision making skills. The services listed below are the accumulation of what to expect when becoming a client.
Design Services
Kitchen Design Center extends many services not offered by its competitors. As the name implies, Kitchen Design Center's main focus is on design. For a great design is the key to a magnificent kitchen or bath, or any home project for that matter. It all starts with a great design! The first step to giving or clients a great design is to ask questions, lots of question and to listen! We do this because we, as designers, must know exactly what the client is expecting from their new space. We must have complete knowledge of the existing space and all its existing issues; what elements the client wants to change and what elements they want to keep. An in-home consultation is a necessity to achieve this. At the In-home consultation, the designer can witness first hand the existing space and all the issues surrounding it. He or she can discuss with the homeowner details about the space and create the outline for the specifications for the new space. For example; 1) what does the homeowner like/dislike about the current space?, 2) what must the client have in their new space?, 3) what would the client like to have in their new space?, 4) what does the client not want in the new space?.
Money Management
You are probably asking yourself; Why should money management be my designer's concern. For most design showroom, it is not their concern. That's because most cabinet showrooms act as a commodity store. They are there to sell cabinetry. We at Kitchen Design Center are not solely selling cabinetry. Our main products that we sell are successful projects! Part of a successful project is completing the project "On budget". It is very difficult and time consuming for a homeowner to try to do this on their own. We as designers will guide and inform the homeowner so that the project stays on target. Having a realistic budget that both the homeowner and designer are comfortable with is the key. Once established, 1) the designer can offer different design and project options so that the "On budget" goal is reached, 2) help the determine what is most important in the project, thus putting the emphasis where the homeowner can get the most bang for tier buck.

This is their main concern and is what makes Kitchen Design Center so successful.
