"Once I sent her all the measurements, it took her a little while to get the options back to me.  Overall, they're good designs.  However, they're very simplistic and give general ideas for space planning.  I was hoping to have a better idea for sizes of furniture for the space and some variations on staging.  
Jill was very responsive when I did have a question.  I'm not sure how helpful it is to have a virtual design done.  If we lived in similar cities, I'd probably use her again for help with additional designs.

"I had Ardent come out to look at my very dated kitchen. I wanted a new kitchen but didn't know if I could afford it or what I could do with the space. The refrigerator was in an awkward place and was very dysfunctional. They took measurements and did two different design plans that included converting a pantry that a barely used into a new home for the refrigerator and and a tall pantry cabinet. I went with that design and them. They started roughly 3 weeks later and wrapped the kitchen up in under two weeks. They also at no charge installed a new granite top in my powder room that is next to the kitchen and painted my entire dining room all for FREE! These guys are terrific and my experience was great. In a day when most times as a consumer you are treated like a number they treated me like family. The workers were all very nice and polite. It was just a very good experience and I love my new kitchen and so do my neighbors!"

"Everything looks wonderful! Jeff came out and gave us a very good fair quote for the job. The job took about 5 days. The guys were all really friendly and cleaned up everyday after they were done. I know our house wasn't easy because of the age of the house(1910) and its many imperfections, but Jeff stuck to the cost quoted and lived up to their quality of service. Jeff told me colors such as red many times need an extra coat of paint and could increase the cost of the quote; makes sense. We choose to paint the kitchen red and Jeff was very honest and told me our kitchen only took the normal two coats of paint, never asking for additional money. Some companies would have taken advantage of the circumstance and charged the extra anyways. Jeff's wife Kimberly does interior design so you can work with them together. Kim, also gave us a great quote on the design work, however at this time we choose to only paint. Choose Delgavio and you will be a happy home owner!!!!"

"We received a few estimates and narrowed it down to two one being James (the owner)
He was great to deal with, has awesome technology to design the job and priced right in line with the best estimate we received.
It was really a coin toss at the end and we picked someone else to do the work but I am certain James would have done a great job.  I would say my wife and I went back and forth a dozen times before we finally just had to pick between the two.
If in the future we need another porch or patio I will 100% call James again.

"I feel extremely fortunate to have found Vicki through Angie's List !  She is an extremely talented person who is very easy to deal with. She has a breath of knowledge that allows her to accommodate my tastes, but also ensure that the overall design is in sync with the design and location of my home.  She has  a very diplomatic way of suggesting when I'm going astray with my choices and in every case where she has told me "Trust Me"  I have been delighted ! She is very aggressive in helping me find the best pricing and often times will work with the vendors directly  hence saving me the time.  She also has excellent local contacts.  Everyone I've worked with through Vicki has been timely, professional, and highly competent.
My project is far from complete.  I intend to continue to use Vicki and her expert advice until the end !!!!"

"EJALE and Evol were great. My entire home had burned down. EJALE, did everything, new roof, windows, siding, HVAC, plumbing & room reconstruction and renovation. Evol worked with other high quality specialty companies as well. Evol worked with the insurance company, always kept me well informed, gave me plenty of lead time to make my choices and happily accomodated my changes. I especially appreciated Evol's honesty & thoughtfulness when helping me make the best design choices. It was a smooth process, especially since going thru a house fire is stressful enough. I would absolutely recommend EJALE."

FAQs for kitchen design service projects in Essex, MD

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.
