Tips for Finding Reputable Kitchen Designers

Hibu Websites • January 18, 2022

When you want to remodel your kitchen, finding reputable kitchen designers should be on your priority list. Kitchen designers can build and install custom cabinets, help you find the right appliances, and help you choose the right flooring, counters, and backsplashes. And, kitchen designers can help design a kitchen for large and small spaces and a suitable design to meet your needs.


Type of Kitchen Cabinets

Kitchen cabinets are often a major part of kitchen remodeling projects in homes, condos, and apartments. According to Woodworking Network, the demand for kitchen cabinets will increase by 4.6% yearly and is expected to generate $17.3 billion in 2023. Designers will have several types of cabinets to install. Custom-designed cabinets are made to your specification and semi-stock and stock cabinets are made ahead but offer decorative features and styles. Some of the many popular styles to choose from are Shaker cabinets, raised panel cabinets, slab cabinets, glass front kitchen cabinets, beadboard cabinets, wood cabinets, and plywood cabinets. Kitchen designers know the ins and out of cabinet styles and installation.


Choosing a Reputable Kitchen Designer

Get recommendations from family and friends that have used kitchen designers in your town or city you live in. Look up contractors online and read customer reviews. When you make an appointment to meet with them, ask them to provide names of customers that are willing to talk with you. Interview a few kitchen designers before deciding. Look for a designer that has been in business for several years and is insured, licensed, and insured. Ask them if they belong to any national trade association or organization in their field.


Give a Detailed Plan for the Kitchen and Get a Written Estimate

When you meet with the kitchen designer, give them a detailed plan for what you want for your kitchen remodeling. They may come to your home to look at the kitchen, take measurements, and provide an estimate. Get a written estimate before you sign any contracts. The estimate should include itemized materials, how long it will take to complete, and the total cost for the entire project. Estimates are an effective way to try to stick to a certain price and not overspend or underspend on your remodeling job. It is suggested you get at least three estimates from three different designers and compare prices before deciding. Check to see if they collaborate with other professional plumbers, electricians, and cabinet designers to ensure quality work.


The Contract and The Payment Method

Kitchen designers often require a 30-50% deposit before they start work. Never pay the entire cost until the job is completed and you have checked it over for quality. Your contract should have the names and addresses of suppliers, estimated dates of start and finish, itemized costs, terms of payment, and permits needed. The contractor should have listed their insurance and licensing on the contract.


If you're thinking about kitchen remodeling, contact your local kitchen designers for an updated or new kitchen in your local town, city, or region.
