GETTING STARTED<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you wish your kitchen looked like? Collecting photos of kitchens you like is a great idea. Maybe one has a little nook you like, or another has a unique pantry cabinet that would add the storage you need for your kitchen. Keep ideas about the small things too- a shelf you like, the way the molding goes over the window, or maybe it’s the nifty space for the dog’s water bowl! Keep your ideas together and when the time comes for your new kitchen we can sort through everything and pull it together to design your perfect kitchen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What storage would make your kitchen more useful? We can tuck a pullout trash in spaces as small as 12″. We include a pullout cabinet near the range for handy storage of cooking oils and spices, larger ones can hold anything from canned goods to pots and pans. There are countless utility items that make your kitchen function efficiently that include organizers for the hard to reach corners, slide out bins and shelves, pull out pantries, assorted wine racks and deep drawers for bottle to name a few. I’ve turned closets into pantries, even that empty space under the stairs can be turned into a great pantry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

OUR PROCESS AT MARBLEHEAD DESIGN GROUP<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.  Free Consultation<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our first meeting we meet at the showroom or at your home and review the project, your goals and wish list. We also execute an accurate measure of the space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Design Meetings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A successful kitchen project is achieved through careful planning and attention to detail. After the measure is completed computer designs are generated based on your wish list and what layouts offer the best function for the space. The 3D renderings help you visualize the various options. Ideas for storage and design details will be reviewed as well.  Once the layout is determined it\u2019s time to make the space your own by adding personality! There are countless options for style, color and finishes to make the space truly your own. A preliminary budget can be reviewed with a range of options that will vary depending on the final choices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Custom Kitchen Plans<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this point if any cabinetry was custom designed  or has a custom finish you will need to make any final changes and approve it.  Next a comprehensive review of the project will guide you through the design details so you can rest assured that you are getting exactly what you want and can finalize your decisions to order the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. PAYMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marblehead Design will create a Quote for your project. This includes the design details and price of the cabinetry and the installation. Some prices, such as plumbing and electrical work, will be estimated and determined later when they visit the job site and have an more accurate review the work to be done. Next, an invoice is created with a payment schedule. This varies depending on the work to be done and the cabinet company. With Elmwood we ask for 25% to place the order. The order then goes through a review process. Elmwood specialists review the appliances, design and floor plans checking the design for function. They create any CAD drawings if needed and then verify the order is accurate. This takes about 10 days. During this time the homeowner can cancel the order. When the review is complete the homeowner receives Elmwood’s list of the review, CAD drawings, time stamps and project number. We request another 25% deposit and the order is sent to production. The final production number and delivery date is emailed to the homeowner day later. The final deposit is due about two weeks before shipping. Cabico requires 50% payment and the balance is due when the order is confirmed about three weeks later. Pennville and Kountry Kraft review the layout and verify every detail. They may suggest changes or better ways to build your kitchen. They send the design to engineering and create CADS for any special cabinets. A deposit is required to start the order and the balance is due a few weeks later,. Stone requires a deposit and the balance due when it’s installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Labor varies depending on your contractor, but typically a payment of 50% is made to start, with another deposit mid-way and the balance is due when completed. Any add-ons requested of the carpenter will be billed separately. (Yes- many times my carpenter has a honey-do list when he finishes your kitchen. Everything from ” can you fix my bulkhead, to fixing the front door….to do you go to Maine? I have a camp up there… \ud83d\ude42 )<\/p>\n\n\n

4. Install Plans<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Floor plans, elevations and renderings will be generated for the installation along with plans needed for contractors and tradesmen, including electrical and plumbing. A schedule will be set for the project, start to finish. If the homeowner doesn\u2019t have contractors for the project we can do the remodel and install cabinets or we can provide a list of referrals.<\/p>\n\n\n
