Custom Kitchens in Philadelphia

Custom Kitchens in Philadelphia Require Experience and Talent

Custom kitchens in Philadelphia are not born; they are created, over time. It takes time for a kitchen designer to learn if they have the talent for custom kitchen designing. This talent is needed to create beautiful custom kitchens in Philadelphia that produce envy in friends and joy for you and your family to live in.

So how can you be sure that your designer has these talents? Before hiring a Philadelphia custom kitchen designer here are some suggestions:

  • Ask your designer about their qualifications. How long have they been designing custom kitchens in Philadelphia? What is their kitchen design training? Are they a member of any trade associations (NKBA or ASID)?
  • It is not just the designer but their company. They need to give your designer the tools in which to create your perfect Philadelphia custom kitchen. So ask about the range of vendors they deal with. Are there price differences or is it just style differences. Why do they have the vendors they have? Part of this answer should include the vendors’ great reputation for customer service. How long has the company been in business?
  • Ask for references from previous clients. Of course the company will give you clients that were satisfied with their services, but be sure to ask each reference about the problems they encountered and how the company resolved these issue(s). No Philadelphia custom kitchen project is without problems and a great kitchen design company will have a process in place to try to anticipate and negate these issues. You will also want to gauge the enthusiasm of the reference. They can say all the right things, but if they are telling you in a monotone, were they really that happy?
  • Finally for a great Philadelphia custom kitchen you need to be sure that the installers and contractors you hire are accustomed to dealing with quality products. Not all are. Truly custom products require a degree of expertise that not all contractors have. Get references and try to determine the level of customization they are used to working with.

Custom kitchens in Philadelphia require specialization. You are going to pay more, so make sure that your designer is prepared to give you what you deserve.
