kitchen remodels In Mankato MN

Our Kitchen Remodeling Process:

From the initial design to finishes like lighting, backsplashes, and hardware, we are here to ensure that our customers have a beautiful, low-stress kitchen remodel in Mankato. Here’s how we do it:

Step 1: The Brief

We start with a conversation, typically over Zoom or a phone call. This meeting helps us put together a picture of what you want out of your project. We will gather pictures of your space, basic measurements, and possibly rough sketches. We will ask a lot of questions so we can understand as much as possible about your project. We will hear what you have in mind, give some advice, and talk through your goals, desires, and any fears you may have regarding the project. At this first meeting, we will talk through your vision on a higher level, and not get into small details. The result of The Brief is a ballpark range given for budgeting and design purposes.

Step 2: The Ballpark

From there, we’ll talk about different budget ranges. We call this the ballpark. We will give you an estimated budget range and see whether this is a number you are comfortable with. If you would like to proceed with a formal estimate, we proceed with a proposal.

The Ballpark is a range given for budgeting and designing purposes. Our proposal steps are:

1. Tentative budget proposal – We will set up a meeting to go over some possible selections, basic layout, and a 3D drawing. A $300 fee is associated with this service.
2. Budget approval – Moving into a design agreement and paying a retainer fee which is typically 2.5% of the ballpark range. This retainer fee is credited back at the end of the project. If you decide that you are ready to start this step, we will set up a meeting to start making design and selection decisions. The fun starts now!

Step 3: The Design

Once you’ve decided to move ahead with us, Home Sweet Home, Mankato will conduct a site measure to gather all the information we’ll need to analyze space planning and evaluations for our trades. After we’ve determined these elements, we move to material options and product finishes to fine-tune the estimate.

Home Sweet Home offers a variety of finishing options at various price ranges. We will not offer our customers any products that we wouldn’t put in our own homes. We offer the highest quality counters, cabinets, flooring, and tile. Once you’ve made your design choices, we order and receive all items we’ll need to start the scheduling process.

We will submit all necessary permit requests after the design is confirmed and you are ready to approve the quote. Our mission is to provide you peace of mind through every step of the kitchen remodel process.

Step 4: The Build

The Build is when the construction begins. We like to remove unknowns by having everything we need before we get started, thereby reducing the amount of time we spend in your home. We take pride in providing you with a dedicated contractor team to take care of everything, so that you have no worries. We provide a timeline and schedule to make sure that our skilled tradespeople can be in and out of your home in good time.

Step 5: The Final Product

As the project nears completion, we will do a walk through with you. During this walk through we will be creating a list of any items that may still need some attention. Once these items are completed, final cleanup is finished, and the final payment has been received, the build phase is considered complete. Your warranty will be explained to you at the completion of your kitchen remodel project, along with any relevant product warranties.
