WHAT TO EXPECT
We will listen carefully, treat you with respect, and proceed at a pace that makes you comfortable.
​
Order Materials and Set Schedule
Once initial payment is received custom materials and products will be ordered and an initial schedule is set based on our current work flow and expected delivery of all materials.
​
Installation
Installation will be performed expeditiously once begun, to minimize the disruption to your life. Because we perform almost all work ourselves, we have better control of the schedule and have less opportunities for unexpected delays.
​
Payment Schedule
1. Following initial visit a small design retainer may be required based on the price estimate of your project and amount of design work. This amount will be applied toward the first payment.
2. Initial contract payment of 33% will be made prior to ordering custom materials.
3. Second payment of 33% will be made upon commencement of installation.
4. Final payment of 34% will be due once your project is completed.
​
Initial Visit
Kitchens of Fredericksburg will come to your home to take measurements and talk to you about things you would like to be included in the initial design and estimate. During this meeting we will also discuss the timeframe this project would take place as well as when you can expect the estimate and renderings. This first visit is free of charge and after we rebuild your kitchen in our design software we will send you high-quality renderings and an estimate. If we agree to move forward with the project together then a small designer retainer (applied to the cost of your project) would be provided and we would proceed to the next step.

Design Visit
We will go back and perform some initial design work based on the first visit and dimensions of your home. Next we will meet at our design office and sit down and discuss specific product selections. At the office we have a variety of samples and swatches for you to look at. We will provide choices and recommendations, but are not locked in to specific vendors, so we can use any manufactures or suppliers that you choose. We will show you a 3D rendering on our graphic design software so you can visualize your project selections.
​
We will then provide a detailed quote to include pricing of material selections and installation. We will provide samples as required to ensure you are comfortable with your selections.
