"I am amazed at the work that Greg and his team do! Greg was wonderful to work with. He is knowledgeable about things that work. He takes time to explain things and going shopping with him was a wonderful experience because he knows what works and is able to suggest items that will look good in your bathroom - my only regret is that I had shopped for my bathroom items before I met him. However he still made the whole design work. A huge shoutout to Wjotek for doing the work. I’ve never seen someone so detail oriented and so meticulous in their work. I would recommend Sanrad Design and Greg to anyone looking to remodel their bathrooms. Just don’t go shopping first before you meet Greg!"

They say that home is where the heart is, and the spaces in which you spend the most time eventually become part of who you are. I believe everyone deserves to be inspired by the spaces where they live. Contact me today and see what I can do for you.

"Kristie is very knowledgeable and great to work with. She is a very good listener and her attention to detail is excellent. I liked the way she shared her ideas without being overbearing or dismissive. Her follow up is very good. I was just a little unclear about the parameters related to her fee, i.e: how much follow up from me is included in terms of questions. I enjoyed meeting with her and definitely benefited from her expert counsel."

We promise prompt, personal and professional service and look forward to adding you to our list of satisfied customers. Please call for a consultation and free estimate today.

"We chose Design One to remodel our small galley kitchen after meeting with them and seeing their reviews. Initially, they presented as organized and professional. I wish we had asked more questions upfront. The quality of work was poor, especially drywall and basic carpentry skills. The average time spent was 10 hours/week. When they started work, all needed materials were in, yet it took over 7 weeks to complete. Requests for a schedule were evaded. There is no crew it is Rich, and occasionally Linda to assist. Very poor time management at the customer expense. Their lack of transparency regarding certain paperwork was troubling. What should have been a rewarding project became a large disappointment."

Kent Kitchens, was created in 2001. However my experience in kitchen remodeling dates back to 1992 in the USA, and from 1976-1980 in my native England. The name Kent is the county from which I was born, hence the name Kent Kitchens. I have 4 honest hardworking crews with years of experience in the home improvement field in all aspects of kitchen remodeling. John Hutchins

He always took the time to answer my questions, which really put me at ease. I appreciated how accessible he was and how mindful he stayed of my budget.

FAQs for kitchen design service projects in Carol Stream, IL

A professional kitchen designer is a specialist in planning and implementing the remodel of kitchen spaces. They'll help you pick materials and styles, give you a quote, render a model, and send the order to manufacturers and installers. You can think of them as creative project managers who will facilitate your kitchen project from start to finish.

No, a kitchen designer can't plan for structural remodeling since kitchen designers aren’t structural experts. Consult a pro for structural engineer fees and inquire about changes like removing a wall. Additionally, for changes to your kitchen's electrical, plumbing, or gas lines, you'll need to hire the appropriate professionals, like a licensed electrician or plumber near you.

A kitchen designer’s process includes the following:

  • Finding inspiration: They may ask for photos, feedback on material samples, and preferred fittings to understand your vision.

  • Using design tools: These include computer modeling software, 3D and high-resolution cameras for recording your space, color wheels, and sketches.

  • Considering appliances and fixtures: It’s important that each item is installed correctly, balances aesthetics and functionality, and is conveniently positioned in a kitchen work triangle.

  • Looking at the whole home: A designer will consider your home's age and style.

  • Writing up plans: After taking measurements, they create a plan based on your specifications.

It takes anywhere from 10 to 20 hours for a professional kitchen designer to come up with a fully fleshed-out plan for a mid-size kitchen. However, that time can increase if you ask for a complex, custom-designed plan. Ask your designer for a quote on both pricing and overall time frame before you start working together to ensure you're on the same page with expectations.

If you're doing an extensive kitchen renovation, hire a kitchen designer to manage the project and ensure things go smoothly for you. A major renovation may include new flooring, countertops, cabinets, lighting, and structural changes like knocking out a wall or upgrading the electrical, plumbing, or gas lines. If you're doing something more minor, like only replacing a sink or painting your cabinets, you can either pay for installation or DIY.
