Welcome to by Design Group, Inc.!

Consider whether your remodel will include any other living space in the house like an adjoining family room or exterior patio or sunroom. If you want to change the floorplan or layout, will you need to relocate plumbing or electrical fixtures? Will your remodeler need to remove load bearing walls?

 What is the most, from start to finish, you want to spend on the remodel including labor and materials? Then, within that budget, decide what changes you can make and prioritize them.

 The extent of a kitchen remodel can range from a complete gutting to merely replacing the countertops. The best way to prioritize your project list is to look at what changes will make the greatest impact on the usefulness of the room for you and what features it currently lacks which you want. If you have already set your budget this will help ensure you don’t run out of money before getting the features you want or need the most.

Kitchen Countertops are an important part of any kitchen. Often times, they are also a large investment for a home, and in turn, they can make a profound difference in home value. 

Luckily, there are different types of kitchen countertops to choose from. These options range greatly on price, upkeep, durability, and style.

We are very competitive in our pricing. In fact, we believe that we have the best pricing on the Peninsula.  We include the entire installation package: substrate tops, cut-outs for sinks, air gaps, and soap dispensers.  

Re-installation of sink, faucet, disposal, dishwasher, range/cook-top and refrigerator are all included in our price as well as new waterlines and P-traps.  

“Aging in place” is actually an official term, defined by the CDC as “the ability to live in one’s own home and community safely, independently, and comfortably, regardless of age, income, or ability level.”

And the first place to start is one of every home’s main activity centers – the kitchen.

The kitchen is one of the more dangerous rooms in the home. It’s also a room in which we spend a large amount of time.

The right lighting helps prevent accidents, create a more suitable work environment, and reduce eye strain. Plan a good mix of sunlight and artificial light.

An aging in place residence should have additional clearance around all doorways and thoroughfares.

No matter what your budget, make the flooring in your kitchen and elsewhere in the home a top priority.
