We are committed to getting you settled into your new kitchen in the quickest time possible. Every designer at The Kitchen Place has personally gone through a complete kitchen remodel in our own homes, so we understand firsthand how difficult the remodeling process can be. It is also a very exciting and fun time!
Many of our kitchen remodeling projects can be accomplished in two weeks. How can this be? Haven't you heard about the kitchen remodleing nightmares where a friend's kitchen was torn up for months?
Our answer is planning, planning and then some more planning, along with a big dose of common sense. The adage "measure twice, cut once" is something we all live by, including our designers and our installers. We won't start your project until we're sure that all materials have been delivered.
And experience goes a long way. We've been in business since 1984. We've installed thousands of kitchens and we've optimized our process along the way to minimize the time your home is in disarray.
To help you gauge the length of a typical kitchen installation, we have prepared an average timeline:
