Do I need a 3D design before remodeling my kitchen?

It eliminates guesswork, ensures your selected materials look good together, and prevents expensive measurement errors during installation.
How long does the custom cabinet planning phase take?
The design phase is a collaborative process. After our initial in-home consultation, it typically takes 1 to 2 weeks to present the first set of 3D photorealistic renders. From there, we tweak the design based on your feedback until you are 100% satisfied.
