The Planning Process

The kitchen planning process can be both exciting and scary so, as you start to plan your new kitchen- here are a few helpful hints that will make the process easier:

Get References

Talk to family, friends and neighbors who have recently purchased a kitchen.  They can share their experiences and the names of the people they worked with on their project.  Statistics show 85% of Heritage customers who purchase a kitchen have been referred to us by someone they know.

Look at Magazines

As you look through the many national magazines featuring kitchen projects, tear out the photos of the rooms you like best.  These photos should include not only the overall look of the space but also special design and product details.

Take these photos with you when you visit your kitchen designer. Remember - "A picture's worth a thousand words".

Choose A Kitchen Designer

The specific knowledge a kitchen designer brings to your project is essential.  They will meet with you and your family to make sure everyone's needs are incorporated into the design of the kitchen.  They will make suggestions, make you assured in your decisions and ultimately design a space both beautiful and functional.

Your designer will talk with you about budget, prepare a set of detailed project documents and help you manage through the balance of the project.

It is important to engage a kitchen designer early in the process.  This will save you time and money.

Next Steps

Once you and your designer have agreed on all the specifics of your project, the designer will place an order for cabinetry.

Typically, it takes 12 - 15 weeks for top quality cabinets to be built and delivered on our trucks to your home -  blanket wrapped, as fine furniture.  Cabinet installation will begin on the date you and your designer have agreed.

Some weeks later, after all the dust has settled, you'll enjoy your first celebration dinner in your new Heritage kitchen.
