What is the design process like?

Our design process begins with an initial consultation where we discuss your vision, needs, and budget. From there, we measure your space, understand your lifestyle, and create detailed renderings. We guide you through material selection and develop a comprehensive construction plan, ensuring every detail aligns with your expectations. See additional information about our five-step process.

What should I prepare for my initial consultation?

To make the most of your initial consultation, consider preparing the following:

  • A clear vision: Think about what you want in your new space.
  • Inspiration images: Bring pictures or examples of styles you love. See our inspiration gallery for some recent completed projects.
  • Budget range: Have a rough idea of your budget to guide our conversation.
  • Lifestyle needs: Consider how you use your kitchen, bath or other room and any must-haves or wish lists.

What factors influence the cost of my remodel?

The cost of remodeling your space can vary widely based on several factors. Our award-winning team of designers will guide you through every aspect of your project, helping you to identify your expected investment. Key considerations include whether you plan to retain your existing layout or create a new one, whether you will keep or replace your appliances, and the selections you make for door styles, wood species, finishes, countertops, and flooring. At KSI, we offer a range of options that can accommodate all budgets, ensuring you find solutions that fit your financial goals while delivering the quality and style you desire.

Do you charge for design consultations?

Our initial design consultation is complimentary and serves as an opportunity for us to learn about your vision and requirements. If you decide to proceed with our services, we will collect a design retainer. This retainer ensures our skilled designers dedicate their time and expertise exclusively to your project, which includes conducting field measurements and crafting a detailed design tailored to your specifications.

How do I get started with my project? Do you charge a design retainer?

Getting started with your project at KSI is easy! We follow a straightforward five-step design process to help bring your vision to life. The first step is a design consultation at one of our showrooms, where we will discuss your goals, preferences, and the specifics you want to achieve in your space. If you decide to move forward with us, we will collect a design retainer. With this retainer, our design professionals will conduct a thorough field measurement and create a stunning design tailored to your needs, complete with 3D renderings to help you visualize your new space.

How long will my kitchen or bath remodel take?

The timeline for a remodel can vary significantly depending on the scope and complexity of the project. Generally, full-service kitchen remodels can take anywhere from 6 to 12 weeks, while bath remodels may range from 4 to 8 weeks. Factors that influence the timeline include design complexity, the availability of materials, and contractor scheduling. Rest assured, we’ll provide you with a detailed schedule during the design phase and keep you informed with regular updates throughout the process.

How do I choose the right materials for my project?

Selecting the right materials is crucial for both aesthetics and functionality. Our experienced design team will guide you through a wide selection of options, including cabinetry, countertops, flooring, and fixtures. We take into account your personal style, budget, and how the materials will perform in your space. During the selection process, we provide samples and expert recommendations, ensuring you feel confident in your choices while considering factors like durability, maintenance, and overall design cohesion.
