"Corey was great! He made the whole process of remodeling my kitchen go smoothly by helping me work with the contractors and doing much of the leg work with materials. He was so easy to work with. His designs were beautiful, and my newly remodeled kitchen turned out better than I ever thought was possible with my limited budget. I highly recommend Corey Brown for any design and remodeling needs."

"Denise was very nice to work with. She had some great ideas that really helped our kitchen remodel turn out beautiful. She was always polite and responsive and honest with me, which I appreciated. I would strongly recommend working with a designer for a major remodel because things, questions come up that you just weren?t expecting and it?s so nice to have an expert ?sounding board? ready to help with little questions and big concerns. Denise made the remodel experience more peaceful than it would have been otherwise. I highly recommend her."

"I went through HomeAdvisor website to search for a back splash contractor for our new condo. Somehow, I was added to the "Kitchen Remodel" service so got a call from Carolyn. I explained to her that all I needed was a contractor for a back splash not a whole kitchen remodel. Even though we were not going to use her designer service, Carolyn was kind enough to share with me the reference for her tile installer who also does interior painting which is another service that we need. In my opinion, she is a REAL PRO as other designers may not be willing to extend that courtesy."

FAQs for kitchen design service projects in Santa Ana, CA

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.
