Or simply request a designer to schedule a time to visit your home and they will gladly complete the measurements for you! No matter which way you choose, before anything is built we will visit your home to complete final measurements to ensure your project is built accurately.
- 3D Renderings: Included with our free estimate process, we will complete 3D renderings for your review. If this rendering is similar to what you have envisioned for your project we will submit this information to complete an estimate for your reference. If the rendering requires major revisions such as appliance location and or measurements, we will gladly make those changes. Design details, cabinet options and accessories will be altered later, at a your design consultation.
