STEP 1
Schedule an appointment to meet in the showroom (although walk-ins are welcome). On that initial visit to Country Cabinets, a member of our design team will greet you and guide you through our process. During that visit, you will discuss your vision along with your goals and expectations. The budget and schedule requirements related to your project will also be discussed.
STEP 2
Home Visit. A designer will visit your home and take the appropriate measurements, take photos of the space, as well as familiarizing themselves with your home. A further in-depth discussion will take place concerning developing your plans.
STEP 3
Upon returning to the showroom a second time, your designer will review your plans and estimate, based on the home visit. Further selections from our vast collection of quality products (cabinets, counters, hardware, appliances, sinks, faucets, etc.) will be finalized.
STEP 4
The designer will make any revisions to the initial plans, based on your approved changes. After finalizing all remaining details, a deposit is paid, we order your cabinets, finalize your schedule, and begin the transformation!
