11/13/2017 0 Comments Local Kitchen DesignRenovating your kitchen can be a nightmare. If you are starting with an older kitchen, starting from scratch or trying to do repairs after structural damage, it can be a daunting task. Finding a luxury kitchen designer that understands your wishes can be another headache. It’s a grand gesture to hire locally, but how do you find the best one in your area? Here’s a few ideas.
1. Ask Sounds simple but it works. Ask your family, friends, co-workers, anyone in casual conversation. If you know someone who has recently finished their own kitchen that you really like, ask them who they used. Don’t be shy about asking important questions. Of course, asking price might be a bit awkward but asking if their rates are reasonable will get around that. Ask if they liked them were they easy to get along with, did they listen to you, understand what you had in mind. Trust issues can be a huge problem, so ask if they felt confident with them and their ability. Did they finish on time, stick to the budget, and cause a little stress as possible. It’s really the best way to get honest referrals. However a quick look on the internet may also get you information. Find local businesses near you and look for negative or positive comments about them. 2. Ask Again You’ve got a decent list of contractors from referrals. Now seek them out and ask the same questions again. The first thing you want to know is if they are reputable. Do they have all the licenses they need, are these licenses and permits in good standing and have there been any past problems with other clients, like lawsuits or other major complaints. It’s important that the designer understands exactly what you want. Show them any designs or rough plans you have and make sure they are on the same page as you. You don’t want them to go off and do something else for the sake of ease, or other reasons and end up with a kitchen you don’t like. Will they give you an estimate. Will the give you a quote for free. How long will it take, are there any hidden costs they aren’t mentioning and are there safeguards for anything insurance doesn’t cover, like the work taking longer than estimated and are there penalties or discounts for late work. Talk to them about other things, their interests or families. Don’t seem to be nosy but it’s really important you get along with this person or people, as they will be in your house, under your feet and in your life for an extended period of time. Once you have all the information you need and have settled on a designer, get all of the work and quotes you need in writing. Check it over, check their references and be sure the price and everything discussed is written down as discussed.
