Typical Remodel Project with Light Construction:
For most customers who want Advanced Kitchens to provide
complete cabinetry design and implementation services along with
some light construction needs including electrical, plumbing and
tile work, this will be the option to choose.
Begin by visiting our showroom to
discuss the scope of your project with one of our Design
Specialists. This is also an excellent time for you to browse
through our extensive collection of cabinetry and accessories
and ask questions, as well as a good time for us to get a feel
for your tastes and desires.
When you are ready to proceed we
will ask you to complete an on-line questionnaire prior to our
extensive on-site consultation, interview and measurement. A
$700 retainer fee begins the process. This meeting will take a
few hours and will include an in-depth question and answer
session to determine all aspects of the project including
lay-out ideas, styles, functional use of cabinetry, etc. This
is an excellent time for you to bring out any magazine clipping
or photos of ideas you may have seen throughout your research.
Approximately 10 business days later
you will meet again with your Design Specialist at our showroom
to view complete plans, elevations and perspectives and color
computer-generated representations of the design for your
project. The color drawings are yours to take home. In
addition, we will prepare a budgetary estimate of what your
project may cost with the associated design. Once you give us
approval to begin final design work a Letter of Intent will be
prepared outlining your desire to use our services and a modest
second retainer fee based on the estimated budget is required at this
time.
From here Advanced Kitchens will
work closely with you to finalize the design and all the details
associated with your project. Advanced Kitchens will also put
together a detailed Job Description outlining all aspects of the
project and the associated costs. We will work with you to
modify the project until it fits your design needs and your
budget. Once complete and you are ready to sign a contract, all
associated retainer fees will be credited in their
entirety to the cost of the project.
Remodeling Project with Heavy
Construction:
This option fits homeowners who in addition to the standard
needs listed above, would like to have load bearing and/or
exterior walls removed, moved or added. Because this requires
the specialized efforts of the Advanced Contractors team as well
as the services of an Engineer and/or Architect, the process
usually takes at least 25-30 business days before the
design/budget meeting can be scheduled. In addition, upon
approval, Advanced Kitchens will require a 10% retainer fee based
upon the estimated budget for the entire project. Of course,
the retainer fee along with your initial retainer fee will be credited to
the job upon contract signing.
Simple Cabinet Refinishing and
Counter Top Replacement:
Homeowners who would like to save their existing cabinetry but
give them new life and change out their countertops may want to
look at cabinet refinishing. Advanced Kitchens has a highly
trained and experienced crew that can either paint over the
existing cabinetry, or sand down wood cabinets and add a new
stain/glaze. For this service, Advanced Kitchens requires only
a $500 retainer fee to begin. This retainer will be credited to
your project upon contract signing.
