\n \n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/span>\n\tWhat services do you provide?<\/span>\n<\/h4>\n
\n\t
\n\t\t[vc_column_text]My services range from consultations to turnkey projects.\u00a0I can provide fully detailed installation drawings, 3D renderings, specify and order materials and project management.\u00a0I work with several suppliers, contractors, architects and structural engineers to provide you with full project coordination.[\/vc_column_text]\t<\/div>\n<\/div>

\n \n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/span>\n\tWhy do I need a kitchen & bath designer?<\/span>\n<\/h4>\n
\n\t
\n\t\t[vc_column_text]Kitchen and bath designing is much more complicated than it appears to be.\u00a0Although there are only six major decisions in a kitchen (appliances, cabinets, counters, hardware, tile & plumbing), the layout of the kitchen and cabinetry function is the most essential part of the project.\u00a0In addition, homeowners today have a mind-boggling array of choices of materials, colors and manufacturers which is almost impossible to navigate and select without a professional guide with the access to, and experience with, all those elements.\u00a0It is critical that all things are taken into account to create the most efficient use of the space while making it beautiful.<\/p>\n

Like a kitchen, a bathroom renovation presents a homeowner with an overwhelming array of choices, but a bathroom requires over 40 decisions to be made.\u00a0It\u2019s not just choosing a vanity, tub, tile & toilet.\u00a0There is a myriad of technical elements that are overwhelming without professional guidance.[\/vc_column_text]\t<\/div>\n<\/div>

\n \n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/span>\n\tWhat do I need for my initial consultation?<\/span>\n<\/h4>\n
\n\t
\n\t\t[vc_column_text]It is best that you have some basic measurements and photos of the space you\u2019re inquiring about.\u00a0It is also very helpful if you\u2019ve done some research on a design website such as Houzz.com to get an idea of the look you\u2019re trying to achieve.[\/vc_column_text]\t<\/div>\n<\/div>

\n \n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/span>\n\tWhat does it cost for your services?<\/span>\n<\/h4>\n
\n\t
\n\t\t[vc_column_text]It obviously depends on what you need done.\u00a0If it\u2019s just consulting or drawings, it is generally on an hourly basis.\u00a0For projects that involve the purchase of materials, you will get materials at the designer\u2019s cost and pay a percentage above that cost\u2026saving you money on doing it yourself.[\/vc_column_text]\t<\/div>\n<\/div>

\n \n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/span>\n\tWhat to consider<\/span>\n<\/h4>\n
\n\t
\n\t\t[vc_column_text]So, you\u2019re thinking about remodeling your kitchen or bath and don\u2019t know where to start.<\/p>\n

There are three main factors to consider:<\/p>\n

1: Design<\/strong> \u2013 What do you want the space to look\/feel like?<\/em><\/p>\n

There are several things that influence your design: house\/apartment layout, family size, lifestyle and room size.\u00a0My job is to help you maximize the full utility of your space and make it as functional, beautiful and comfortable as possible.<\/p>\n

2: Timing<\/strong> \u2013 When do you want to do the project?<\/em><\/p>\n

You have to consider when to begin your project and how long it will take to execute.\u00a0A typical kitchen will take approximately 4-6 weeks and a bathroom will take approximately 3-5 weeks.\u00a0There is always the possibility of unforeseen site conditions so you should always allow for this in your timing and budget.<\/p>\n

3: Budget<\/strong> \u2013 How much are you able to spend on the project?<\/em><\/p>\n

This will vary depending on what your selections and the size of the project.[\/vc_column_text]\t<\/div>\n<\/div>

\n \n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/span>\n\tYou have determined what you want, when to start and how much you want to spend. Now what?<\/span>\n<\/h4>\n
\n\t
\n\t\t[vc_column_text]We begin with a complimentary consultation to discuss your needs, lifestyle and goals.\u00a0If we agree to work together, an engagement letter will be signed and a retainer given to start the design process.\u00a0A site visit is then scheduled to assess field conditions, accessibility and to take measurements and photos.\u00a0At least 1-2 meetings will be necessary to discuss layout and select materials.\u00a0Initial drawings and pricing details will then be drafted.\u00a0One or more contractor bids are then obtained to determine full job costs and then a complete job proposal is presented for review.\u00a0Once the proposal is signed off on, a deposit of 50% for all materials is required for ordering.\u00a0Materials are then delivered to the jobsite and then the installation begins. \u00a0JD Home Design will oversee the project from concept to completion.[\/vc_column_text]\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
