How Do I Find and Choose a Designer?
Good Morning Community; Today, let’s talk about choosing a designer for your kitchen or bathroom renovation. This the second part in our two part series.
The designer will ask some or all of the following questions:
• Where did you hear about us? Have you looked anywhere else?
• Have you designed/built/remodeled a kitchen before?
• Is your new kitchen part of a new construction project or is it a remodeling job?
• What does your kitchen look like now? What do you like and dislike about it?
• Do you have a sketched layout with measurements or an architectural blueprint of your existing or planned kitchen?
• What space and amenities do you need/want that you don’t currently have?
• What general style do you like—contemporary, traditional, or eclectic? What is the style of your home?
• What are some of the styles and products that you like, either in the showroom or that you’ve seen on the Internet, in publications, or elsewhere?
• Do you have an idea of how much you want to spend?
• When do you want the new kitchen to be ready?
You should ask:
• How long have you been in business?
• What kind of training do your designers have?
• What is your approach to the design process?
• Can I see pictures of kitchens you have designed? Better yet, actual kitchens?
• Can you provide me with references—names and contact information of prior clients?
• Which manufacturers do you represent?
• Can you do special orders? If you find a cabinet in a magazine or even another showroom that you have to have, would the firm be willing to work with you to coordinate that element with the others you select from its offerings?
• Do you specialize in any particular style, product, or material?
• How long is your project backlog—in other words, can we start working on my project now or will I have to get in line?
• What are your payment options? Do you offer financing? What is the payment schedule you expect?
