Frequently Asked Questions
Before we provide pricing, we take time to fully understand your space, goals, and how the kitchen needs to function. Our process starts with a detailed design and planning phase so layouts, scale, and costs are aligned before construction decisions are made.
That planning phase can take anywhere from a few days up to two weeks, depending on the complexity of the project. It allows us to recommend the right layout, cabinetry approach, and scope for your home — not a one-size-fits-all solution.
To begin, we require a design and pre-construction retainer, typically ranging from $1,500 to $5,000 depending on scope. This retainer is applied toward your cabinetry order if you move forward with the project.
Some renovations may also involve additional professional services. Projects that include structural changes, additions, window relocations, or new bathrooms may require architectural drawings, filings, and stamped plans based on local town requirements. We review these needs upfront so expectations are clear.
Our goal is to help you plan confidently, avoid surprises, and move forward with a remodel that’s thoughtfully designed and professionally managed from start to finish.
A typical kitchen remodel takes 8 to 12 weeks, depending on complexity, approvals, and material lead times.
In many cases, a kitchen designer is the first and most important step. Kitchen designers focus on layout, workflow, cabinetry, and how the kitchen functions within the home, while architects focus on structure and building compliance.
For most kitchen remodels, a kitchen designer works with you first to develop the layout and design. If the project includes structural changes, additions, or major layout modifications, an architect may then be brought in to prepare drawings required by the local building department.
Some projects require only a kitchen designer, while others benefit from both working together, depending on the scope of the renovation.
Kitchen remodeling projects in Westchester County typically range from $45,000 to $150,000+, depending on scope, layout changes, structural work, cabinetry tier, and material selections.
Cosmetic updates — new cabinet doors, countertops, and finishes without layout changes — sit at the lower end. Full design-build renovations involving structural modifications, custom cabinetry, and premium appliances move toward the higher end.
Because our work focuses on full design-build execution rather than surface-level updates, our projects are best suited for homeowners planning a comprehensive renovation.
