KITCHEN Design

Looking to remodel your kitchen? These projects take careful consideration to pair beautiful aesthetics with proper form and function. That’s why developing a strategic design plan is of the utmost importance and your best defense against disappointment. We employ our years of design expertise so you can avoid costly mistakes!

This multifaceted design service will provide you with the perfect design plan for your kitchen remodel!

This service requires new cabinetry in the space. If you're not looking for new cabinetry, a "refresh" plan will be discussed during our typical design consultation service.

* You must first book a FREE "Discovery Call" before your Remodel Consultation can be scheduled.

Kitchen Remodel Service

Our Process

At Windland Design, we understand that kitchen remodeling is a big undertaking, and every project requires careful planning and consideration. That's why we take a step-by-step approach to ensure your project is completed according to your unique specifications. Every step of the way, you can count on us for attentive customer service and quality design that meets or exceeds industry standards.

Step 1: The Discovery Call

The first step in the kitchen remodel process is scheduling a Discovery Call with Barbara Gerlach, the principal designer and owner. Regardless of your level of familiarity with the project, Barbara's expertise and experience make her the ideal person to guide clients through the early stages of their kitchen remodel. 

During the call, Barbara will help you determine the best "next steps" to get your project rolling, providing you with confidence and a clear plan in place.

Step 2: The Consultation

The second step in the kitchen remodel process is the consultation. During the in-home Initial Design Consultation, clients will have up to 90 minutes to discuss their kitchen areas that require our team's assistance. If the project involves a new build or relocation, floor plans, house layouts, and concepts can be reviewed during the visit. 

This meeting serves as an opportunity for clients and the design team to get to know each other, discuss pain points, evaluate possibilities, and identify any potential pitfalls. Additionally, the design team will share their process for ensuring all of the client's needs and wishes are met. By the end of this consultation, clients will have a clear understanding of the project's scope and can confidently move forward with a plan in place.

Step 3: The Proposal

The third step in the kitchen remodel process is the proposal. After the consultation, clients will receive a follow-up report specifically tailored to their needs. The report will outline the design team's findings and suggestions for achieving the best possible outcome for the project. Additionally, a design fee will be recommended based on the level of guidance and collaboration, the scope of work, and the time required  to complete the project to meet their expectations. 

This proposal provides clients with a clear understanding of the design team's vision for the project, the costs involved, and the expected outcomes. By accepting the proposal, clients can move forward confidently, knowing they have a well-defined plan in place, and the design team has a clear understanding of their needs and expectations for their kitchen remodel.

What to Expect from a "Kitchen Remodel" design plan:

  • Barbara will come to your home for an initial walkthrough of your space, she calls it a "Dream or Idea Session". Together you'll discuss your space, changes you'd like to make and talk about inspiration images, existing pain points, and what your vision is for your new space.

  • Barbara will schedule a second visit to bring in her assistant for measuring and all the trades men and women it will take to execute a remodel - we call this our "Trades Day". *There will be additional costs if we need a Structural Engineer report for the project.

  • After all information has been gathered, Barbara will schedule a third meeting to present all aspects of the project as well as her recommendations for moving forward. During this meeting, Barbara will provide you with material selections, conceptual furnishings, fixtures and finishes, renderings and drawings of your new kitchen or bath so that you can visualize the beautiful end result. One materials-only revision is included with this service.

When it's all said and done, you'll have:

  1. Actual material samples selected by Barbara specific to your style, wants and dreams for your project (tile, countertop, cabinet and hardware finishes).

  2. Actual bids and investment figures from the trades men and women who will be working on your project so that you know and understand what it costs.

  3. Design insight driven by Barbara for the best kitchen or bath design including innovative storage ideas and efficiencies.

  4. Conceptual Design Board to understand your kitchen or bath project on a cohesive level throughout.

  5. Actual renderings of your new kitchen layout and look so you can visualize the beautiful end result.

  6. Guidance, feedback and insight from Barbara on how to proceed with the project so that you are comfortable, confident and knowledgeable about your project.
