"Steve is incredibly talented and simply the best! Everyone who visits admires my home especially my backsplash and wooden floors. He is easy to communicate with, prompt, and reliable. He has a keen eye for details, current styles, colors, visual interest and space. My master bath and kitchen were completely renovated as well as smaller projects. All have exceeded my expectations. I now have a new friend in Steve, but most of all my house makes me happy!"

"Very nice guy. A bit disorganized. Never discussed lighting but believed we had. Couldn't recall specific measurement or cabinet orientations without doing re-check. Brought on one subcontractor whose work he hadn't seen, based on a friend's word--contractor appeared to have no experience doing work he claimed to be a pro in. Best aspect of Mr. Setlock was openess and friendliness, and very pretty functional design, as well as responsiveness to my ideas for modification"

"Multi-time returning customer of Tri County Kitchens Inc. Few little kitchen update projects previously completed with them. Now we just completed our 2nd full kitchen renovation with Todd and his team. My wife and I are very cautious when hiring people to come work at our home. We are careful and decisive during the process to choose the professionals we decide upon. That being said... Todd and his crew are always 1st class to interact with. Courteous to converse with during the planning period. Happy to answer questions regarding materials, products, and the design that was best for our home. Detailed and itemized quote followed. Thorough plan of action was written out as well. The results have revamped the look of our home. As neighbors and friends and family do... they want to know who did the work and are we happy with the company who did the work. Yes, were are tremendously pleased. Happy to pass along their contact information so they too can utilize Todd and his team. Proud to have had Tri County Kitchens Inc take care of us, yet again"

FAQs for kitchen design service projects in Pittsburgh, PA

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.
