| What’s
the difference between working with an Architect or Interior
Designer vs. a Kitchen & Bath Designer? |
| We work with allied
professionals all the time, these are not mutually exclusive
relationships. Usually an architect defines the general
space and we do the detailing and specific planning.
Interior designers help select colors and style but don't
generally do the actual layout or drafting. |
| |
| How does
a kitchen or bath remodel affect the value of my home?
|
| If the quality of the design
and workmanship are consistent with the home and
neighborhood, you will be making a wise investment.
According to
Money Magazine, "For return on investment, the best
home renovation is to upgrade an old bathroom. Kitchens come
in second. The return on investment on a mid-range bath
modernization is 102% of its cost. Kitchens can add about
90% of their costs to the home's value." |
| |
| How long
will my project take? |
| Including the design process,
a kitchen remodel can take 6-8 months from start to finish.
Each project is very different and we can’t give a
one-size-fits-all timeframe for either kitchen or bath
renovations. Once we are able to determine the specific
needs of your project, we can provide you with a reasonable
time table. |
| |
| How much
will my project cost? |
| The short answer… that depends
on how much you want to spend. Our Design Team works closely
with you to determine the costs associated with the kitchen
or bath remodel and to help you develop a reasonable budget.
The majority of Carmel Kitchens and Baths clients are
referrals from satisfied customers who have had projects
designed by our team. Carmel Kitchens and Baths always
endeavors to design a project appropriate to the value of
the home, not to expensive, and not too limiting. |
| |
| Does
Carmel Kitchens & Baths handle the entire project, or do I
find other contractors for the flooring, lighting and décor?
|

design process from start to finish. Carmel Kitchens & Baths

project needs. Our staff enjoys numerous relationships with
