Our Process

So you’ve decided to build a new home or remodel your existing kitchen? Let’s take a look at the Kitchens by Carol R. Cherry, LLC process.

1. Decide

Decide what you need. It may be more room, additional storage, or more preparation space.
Consider how you use your kitchen. Is there more than one cook in the kitchen? Do you need multiple sinks?
What features fit your lifestyle? Do you need a large pantry? What about a breakfast bar with seating?
Collect inspiring photos from magazines or from websites online that reflect your style. Please them in a folder or create an online idea book.

Call or email so we can setup a no obligation consultation in our studio.
We will review the photos you have collected.
We will review cabinetry, countertops, flooring and appliance options along with your cooking and entertainment needs.
We’ll sit down and discuss any architectural or contractor’s drawings
We will then setup a time to come out to your home to see your existing kitchen and review your ideas.
We will discuss a design retainer fee.
We will take measurements and move forward with your design options.

We will present the concept of your new kitchen or new space
- Floor plan
- Elevation
- Often a 3D computer generated design
- Select door styles, finishes, countertops and appliances
Ongoing discussion & interaction will continue to refine the design until you are completely satisfied with the features & benefits to the cabinetry layout as well as the feel of the space.
Once this is achieved, we will provide you with a written proposal.
Upon acceptance of proposal an agreement outlining terms and conditions will be signed and a deposit paid to begin building your cabinetry.
We will keep you informed of the anticipated delivery date.

Approximately one week prior to cabinetry delivery your existing kitchen will be removed.
Plumbing and electrical rough-ins will take place, typically a day for each.
Any necessary drywall work will take place at this time.
Tile or wood flooring will be installed.
We will provide a written schedule outlining all steps and dates.

Cabinets will be delivered to your home a day prior to installation.
Typically cabinetry installation will take between 7 and 14 days.
Toward the end of the first week your countertops will be templates.
Once countertops are installed final plumbing along with electrical hook up of appliances and misc touch ups will take place.
Finally, your backsplash will be installed.

You now have a new kitchen!
