"Paul filed for bankruptcy and kept over 17K in monies paid in advance to him. He was supposed to do permitting for a basement ADU conversion, but it dragged on for months on end so I ended up taking over permitting and it was completed in 6 weeks. Workmanship on other kitchen/bath remodel projects was shoddy at best... 7 months after painting cabinets, paint is chipping; things not done to code; took months to get work redone (some never happened) and to get unfinished work addressed. Had to make multiple trips from out of state just to keep work moving forward. Stopped all communication and filed bankruptcy. Having to start from scratch on major remodel project."

"We were very pleased with what she did. She designed our Law office and really needed the help. She did a great job, she did the measurements and took time to know what I needed. She worked within our budget, and good communicator. Very pleased with the end project. I still get compliments."

"Joanna went out of her way to provide me with great customer service. She took her time to help me when our second home had suffered severe fire damage. Her product knowledge was invaluable considering our limited insurance budget. I can't thank her enough."

"Shaye Marie did a wonderful job helping me to decorate my living, dinning areas, and my bedroom. She worked within my budget and came up with simple, creative ideas that transformed these spaces into areas I love. Shaye Marie was patient, listened well, and was passionate and dedicated to what she did. I will be using her again and I highly recommend anyone else to do the same."

"I just had Elm Construction Services replace the roof on our new home. I have to say, I’m really impressed. We went with asphalt shingles and they look beautiful! What I loved most was how professional everyone was. The crew showed up on time, worked efficiently, and actually cleaned up better than I expected - you’d never know they were even here. They were also super patient with all my questions (and I had a lot!). The quality of their work is top-notch. You can tell they really care about doing things right, not just getting it done quickly. My neighbors have even commented on how great the roof looks. If you’re in the Lake Oswego or Portland area and need roofing work done, I’d definitely recommend giving Elm Construction Services a call. It’s such a relief to find a contractor you can trust who actually delivers on their promises!"

FAQs for kitchen design service projects in Portland, OR

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.
