HOW TO GET STARTED
WITH A KITCHEN REMODEL


Are you considering a kitchen remodel? The kitchen is where life happens. It's where you start your day, and potentially it's the last light turned out at the end of the night. It's where you live, and where memories are made. This room should be a room that absolutely moves you and makes you want to stay and enjoy your home.

Determining your expectations, needs, and wants for your kitchen remodel project is the first step in turning your dream kitchen into a reality. 

Let us show you how we can transform your thoughts and ideas into a kitchen to be lived in and loved!

OUR 5-STEP DESIGN-BUILD PROCESS

01 | PRE-PLANNING

Phone interview to discuss wants & needs. In-home meeting after reviewing our online pricing guide. Discuss possible options and what can be done. Follow-up with free budget range email and scope of work.

02 | DESIGN
We'll let you know what the design fees will cost before anything is measured - we want to keep education up, and expenses down! We'll collaborate with you on our concept to ensure it captures your wants and needs, and make changes to that concept before we estimate.
03 | SHOPPING
Enter into a construction agreement based on design, drawings, and scope of work. SHOPPING DAY! Our favorite day. We spend the day shopping with you and assisting you in selections for your dream space.

What Our Clients Think

The Compelling Homes team is second to none. Many companies talk about customer service and looking at things from a customer's perspective, but few follow through — the entire team from the owner on down lives it. In addition, their ability to adapt and deliver is extraordinary. Add in the talented people they bring in to complete all aspects of the construction and remodel project, and we couldn’t be more happy with the results.

Chad Kitchen | Compelling Homes

What Our Clients Think

The Compelling Homes team designed an amazing remodel for our entire first floor. The attention to detail created an awesome finished product that we absolutely love. We are not the creative types, but when the team came back with their ideas for the space we were blown away and now we have a more functional space that is worth every penny. We always recommend them to any of our friends thinking about starting a remodel project because we know the CH team will make sure that every detail is perfect. Other positives is that were open and honest with the cost and timeline so there were no surprises along the way and we felt fully informed about the entire process. Everyone on the team was excellent to work with and we would definitely use them again.

Stephanie Bathroom | Compelling Homes

What Our Clients Think

We love Rusty and the Compelling Homes team. We first worked with them to turn an unfinished basement into a family area, bar, workout room. We had some pretty complex requests but they turned our unfinished basement into a fabulous rustic hangout space. Rusty has great ideas and is has an eye for details. They just completed an addition over our garage and it turned out awesome inside and out. We can not wait to work with them again on a new master bath and kitchen. I would never go anywhere else. They deliver what they promise and more. They take time to get to know you and make sure your personality shows up in the final product. Love them!!
