Kitchen Remodeling – How to Turn Your Kitchen Dream into Your Dream Kitchen!

In today’s age the kitchen is so more much than a place to cook. It has become the hub of every home. What better room to express your personality and pizzazz? If your life is teeming with elegance, your kitchen should be the pinnacle of modern chic. If you’re an energetic and creative soul, your kitchen should feel like walking into apiece of art. At Abbey Design Center we take pride in designing the perfect kitchen remodeling for our clients. Whether you have a gourmet chef in the house or serving takeout to friends, our kitchen renovation is uniquely tailored to your desires.

So, as you’re planning your new kitchen remodeling with us, let’s talk about what you envision: a cook’s desk, a computer charging station, wine storage, recycling zone, pet station, room for the kids to do homework — it’s all on the table.

We understand that kitchen remodeling can be time consuming and disruptive. Each of our designers have at least 20 years of experience in design and remodeling, and are aptly ready to prepare and guide you through the process to make your experience as pleasant and stress-free as possible.

Your Dream Kitchen

Function

Habits and activities in the modern kitchen have changed since the last decade or so. We separate and recycle trash, we use computers and watch TV in the kitchen, and of course we gather with our friends and family. The way you use your new kitchen is key to planning your kitchen remodeling, and Abbey designers will make it function to suit your fancy. If you like to entertain and have guests throughout the kitchen, then you may want to have a more open space with a kitchen bar for additional seating. However, if you enjoy cooking frequently and use lots of different tools, easy access and storage space will be a top priority. Abbey designers will make sure your kitchen remodeling is redesigned to function accordingly to your lifestyle.

Style

You probably already have some idea of what overall style you like in your home. Do you prefer the clean and simple look of modern kitchens, or do you like a more rustic look? There are lots of design terms to classify your taste, but don’t worry if you can’t recite each theme by name. You can show us pictures, point out preferences, or describe a feeling you want your kitchen to evoke, and we’ll pick up on your unique style. Whatever the case may be, we will create a space that fits the style you’re looking for, and show you our design plan so that you can get a visual of what your newly renovated kitchen will look like.

Finish

When it comes to kitchen detail, the sky’s the limit! We will carefully select the colors, shapes and details of your flooring, fixtures, tile, cabinets, countertops and knobs, which will bring your entire kitchen together. Our designers will help guide you in choosing all the finishes that will fit with your overall style and bring the aesthetic that makes your kitchen a unique masterpiece.

Updating your kitchen to accommodate your style and preferences will make your house feel like your dream home. By offering a wide selection of high quality products and exceptional service, Abbey Design Center has become the premier choice for kitchen remodeling in Sterling, Leesburg, and throughout the Northern Virginia area.

OUR CLIENTS

The Abbey Design Process

  1. CONCEPT:

    First, let’s meet and talk about what you have in mind. Call or email us and we’ll set up a time to come to your home and take measurements, photos, and delve into a further understanding of your project’s scope. We want to acquire all the information possible from you and your house’s foundation in order to make your dream kitchen a reality. We also offer a FREE consultation to tell us about your ideal kitchen concept.

  2. BUDGETING:

    After an initial consultation we’ll be able to provide you with an estimate for your project based on your initial requests. To give you an idea, a 2016 National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) Survey of remodelers showed the average kitchen remodeling project cost to be between $20,000 and $49,999.

  3. DESIGN:

    Once we’ve gathered in the same budget ballpark, we’ll start the design process. Abbey will collect a design fee for design work but this fee is credited back to you at contract initiation. While we’re designing the layout, we’re also helping you select all the products and finishes for your complete kitchen remodel. Once we’ve put it all together you’ll have a ready contract detailing the complete project for your approval!

  4. PREPARATION:

    Once you’ve approved of your plan we’ll start ordering all those great products and finishes that we selected for your kitchen. We’ll procure necessary permits and begin to schedule the tradesman for your project. We’ll keep you informed on the arrival of cabinets, sinks, dishwashers, refrigerators and other major components. We’ll also let you know the starting date of your renovation so you can to plan a temporary kitchen evacuation. We will introduce our installers to you so you can discuss the necessary details of your home operations and anything you deem important of mentioning(i.e., don’t let the cat out).

  5. INSTALLATION:

    The day you’ve waited for has finally arrived! – Oh, wait, that’s the completion date. An average kitchen demolition and installation takes 2-8 weeks. Naturally, we’ll have to make a little dust and noise in order to achieve your dream kitchen. Rest assured that we will try out best to avoid disturbing the peace as much as possible. You will find Abbey’s craftsmen to be conscientious, personable, and respectful of your home and time. You can expect daily clean up and/or cover ups to help protect your home. We’ll do a walk through with you several times to make sure everything on the punch list has been completed to your satisfaction.

  6. COMPLETION:

    After we have checked the last item off the punch list and have confirmed that you are satisfied, you’re ready to have your kitchen back to yourself! You’ll be slicing and dicing delicious treats for you and 20 of your best friends in no time! We hope we exceeded your expectations and you’ll enjoy better days in your kitchen or a higher home value if you’re looking to move on. Whichever the case, please take a couple of pictures of your dazzling new kitchen and share it with us on Facebook! We always appreciate our satisfied customers sharing photos of their new kitchens on social media!
