To help you get started on your kitchen or bathroom remodel project here are a few suggestions:

  • ou’ll need to gather ideas. Magazines are a good source to start from. Another way to gather ideas would be to visit design centers and manufacturer/supplier showrooms. Save photos of rooms, products and floor plan that catch your eye. Gather all types of samples; fabric, counter top, tiles, etc. At this point, don’t limit yourself on what you think you can afford. The things that appeal to you build an idea file for your reference. This idea file that you create with a look and feel that reflects how your personal tastes are and will be a constant reference point for your plan.
  • Now you’ll need to set a budget. Since you have seen what you like, you now have a sense of how things you like will work with how you actually use the space. The next step is to look at what the remodel will cost. This is a good time to determine how much you want to invest in your remodel since money is always an object. Determine the total amount you are willing to spend and then how to come up with the money, if you’re willing to borrow. By establishing your priorities early will help decide where to spend the money.

We are offering the following tips to ease the process of finding the appropriate professional for your remodel project:

  • Do some research. Select several designers/dealers in your area; set up time with them to share ideas and suggestions. Ask to view past projects and/or a portfolio to make sure that they’re qualified for your needs.
  • Ask for satisfied client references. If the company is unable to provide you with a list of satisfied clients, this may be an indication that you may not be satisfied as well.
  • A friendly, helpful staff is a must. Your kitchen or bathroom remodel could take months to complete. Therefore, you will be in close contact with these professionals and you want this time to be a pleasant experience.
  • Are the showrooms clean and neat? Showrooms serve as a way for designers/dealers to showcase their work. When a showroom is messy, missing parts of displays or not completed professionally, this may be a warning sign to look elsewhere.
  • Look for interesting designs. Select a professional who can design outside the box. As this is a huge investment, you don’t want to settle for the status quo.
  • A large array of styles is necessary. You’ll want to select a professional who can create more than one look. A well-constructed presentation is a big plus. Craftmanship is just as important as innovative designs. If your remodel project isn’t built well, you’ll feel as though it was a wasted investment.
