What is the first step in a kitchen remodeling project?

What’s the first step in a kitchen remodeling project or home renovation? 

A home renovation or kitchen remodeling project is very exciting, but it can also be a bit stressful! There is a lot of information out there in magazines, online and from our friends.  Sometimes all of that information can end up being overwhelming. 

It’s no wonder that the majority of our clients have a lot of questions when we start discussing their remodel:

Where do I begin?

How long will my remodeling project take?

Will my life be disrupted & for how long?

Will it be messy & dusty?

How many people will be in our home?

As a project manager, I completely understand our customers’ concerns.  Every remodeling project is unique to the client, since it depends on their style, their space, their budget and their schedule.

This is why we tell our clients that the best place to begin is to speak with our Design Consultants here at Aston Black.  A design consultant is essential to starting your home remodeling project because:

  1. They are Design Professionals.  They have studied a variety of design techniques that will make your kitchen or bath remodeling project go smoothly.
  2. They are experts in the industry.  A design consultant knows and understands the current design trends and materials, and they can share their expertise and knowledge with you.
  3. They work with you from the start of the project.  A design consultant wants to know how you envision your new room, and then will work with you to make that vision come to life. They will walk you through the process step-by-step, so you know exactly what to expect during your home remodel.
  4. They will get you to think of every aspect of your project.  There are lots of things you may not have even considered with your project, such as hardware, under cabinet lighting or even moving a wall to open up your space. 

We don’t want your renovation to be stressful, which is why we encourage our clients to stay focused on the big picture.  Let our experts handle the details, and we are confident the outcome will exceed your expectations.
