OPTION 1:  You do initial Measurements

We offer free initial design if you provide the measurements to us. The better your measurements, the closer we can get to an exact estimate. But don’t worry, once you place an order with us, we will come to your home and double check all measurements, so ultimately we are responsible for the final product fitting into your space. Even with new construction, we can give an estimate off of the blue prints, but we will always check the measurements once the walls are framed to be sure there are no surprises after the sheet rock is up.

OPTION 2: We Measure for you
If you prefer for us to do the initial measuring for you, we charge a retainer fee that entitles you to 1 job site visit and copies of all floor plans, perspectives and elevations. This fee is non refundable, however will be credited to any orders placed with Custom Kitchens by Design. This is also a good option if you need copies of the new plans for plumbers or electricians, but have not finalized your color selections.

We require a down payment of 50 percent of the total cost of the job when you sign a contract.  The balances are due as the products are delivered to the jobsite.  The cabinets will need to be delivered 2-4 weeks prior to when the Countertop is installed.  This allows for cabinet installation, countertop templating and fabrication.  The balance of the cabinets will be due when the cabinets are delivered and the final balance of job will be due when the countertop is installed.

 How much will it cost?

The total cost of the job will largely depend on the type of materials you select and the size of your project.  The only way to get a real idea of what this project will cost you is to have a design done and choose products.  We have done some jobs that were only a few thousand dollars and have also done some that were a few hundred thousand dollars and of course everything in-between.   The good news is that whatever your budget, we have the knowledge to make your dream kitchen a reality and can work with you to find exactly the right product that will make your budget work.  I like to tell our clients that buying a new kitchen is like buying a new car, except it will increase in value instead of depreciate when you drive off the lot.  The cost will depend entirely on your tastes, what quality you prefer and how many goodies you want to include.  The important thing is to get a starting point.  Until you have a design done, it is all a guessing game.  Once a design is done, we simply press a button to give you a price.
