Every kitchen remodel is different, but the process shouldn’t be a mystery. Here’s what to expect when you work with HDC.
Initial Consultation
We start with a free in-home visit to understand how you use your kitchen, what’s not working, and what you want to change. We take measurements, walk through your wish list, and give you a ballpark estimate before any commitments.
Design & Planning
Depending on the scope, we pair you with a designer or architect from our in-house team. You’ll see 3D renderings and elevation drawings of your new kitchen before a single cabinet is removed. Most kitchen designs take one to four months, depending on complexity and permit timelines in your municipality.
Fixed-Price Proposal
Once your selections are finalized (cabinets, countertops, appliances, fixtures), we lock in a fixed price before construction begins. If anything changes along the way, it goes through a documented Change Order so you always know the cost impact before we proceed.
Construction
Your dedicated project manager is your single point of contact from day one through completion. We hang dust barriers, protect your floors and furniture, and clean up daily. You can track progress through our online project management system from your phone or computer.
Limited Lifetime Warranty
We stand behind every kitchen we build with a Limited Lifetime Warranty, which goes far beyond the industry standard of 12 months.
