Doing Business with Colorado Kitchen Designs
The following explains how you may anticipate doing business with Colorado Kitchen Designs. We believe that being up front in these matters will help eliminate confusion and incorrect assumptions as we work together to help you with your kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, bar, home office, entertainment center or other cabinetry projects.
Services Offered
Colorado Kitchen Designs provides design services and products that support you in your new construction or remodeling project, in the following areas: kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, bar, home office, entertainment center, garage or other cabinetry projects. We are a dealer for several excellent cabinetry manufacturers. These cabinet companies manufacture both semi-custom and full custom cabinetry at several different price points, making it possible for us to accommodate any budget requirements. We are also able to offer both framed and frameless cabinetry from these manufacturers. Our primary service is to work with you to provide a well thought out, comprehensive design, along with cabinetry and countertop that are both beautiful and functional. We can provide you with access to industry vendors, contractors, architects and interior designers.
Phase I: Design, Drawings, Material Selection, Estimate
Our initial design, drawings and corresponding estimate for cabinetry are prepared after receiving a design fee. Design fees range from $300-$2000 depending on the size of your project and determined by your designer based on the estimated number of hours needed to prepare everything for your project. Should you purchase your cabinetry from Colorado Kitchen Designs, your design fee will be credited to the order. These drawings consist of a floor plan and computer generated line drawing perspectives. The information that we need to create a design may come from a visit to your home, architectural drawings or measurements that you present to us. Most projects require a couple of meetings to discuss the design, selection of materials and review our estimate.
Phase II: Finalize and Purchase Agreement
Once a final design has been agreed to, we will ask you to sign a Purchase Agreement to order. Our payment terms for the purchase of cabinetry are 50% upon ordering and 50% (less any prepaid design fee) with the exception of any RTA cabinets ordered, prior to delivery of cabinets to the job site. Upon receipt of your 50% deposit, we will place your order. Since your project is a custom project, once the order has been placed, it cannot be cancelled. Any changes made by you once the order has been placed will be handled through a change order. Any cabinetry, or cabinetry accessories, which have been ordered on your behalf, cannot be returned to either Colorado Kitchen Designs, or the cabinet manufacturer. When you purchase cabinetry, the following are typically included:
-Final drawings including floorplan, elevations, and perspectives
-Storage of cabinetry at our warehouse for up to 15 days from arrival
-Delivery of cabinetry from our warehouse to your home
-Installation walkthrough with contractor if necessary
Phase III: Delivery and Installation
Colorado Kitchen Designs has developed relationships with many experienced and qualified remodeling contractors and builders. At your request, we will provide names of contractors who are able to perform the work for your project. We are available to answer questions that the contractor may have during the installation process. Colorado Kitchen Designs is not liable for mistakes and/or financial consequences made by any contractor or installer after the final field measure is completed and/or contract has been signed.
Additional Services
In many cases, our clients desire our consulting services to help them with selection of other materials and/or products such as tile, lighting, paint, decorative hardware, plumbing fixtures, etc. For these consulting services our fee is $150/HR including travel time, and is payable upon receipt of invoice. These fees do not apply to cabinet purchase. The following items are NOT included as part of the cabinetry and/or countertop purchase:
-Sample cabinetry door if requested or required ($300+)
-Meeting with your plumbing, tile, or appliance supplier
-Design services with regards to paint, tile, lighting fixtures, plumbing, etc. (anything not pertaining directly to the cabinetry)
-Storage of cabinetry beyond 15 days (ask for quote)
-Any additional labor or material needed after cabinet delivery (ask for quote)
Appliances and Other Fixtures
In preparing a kitchen or bath design, we must rely on the published appliance manufacturer’s specifications to order the correct cabinetry, and accessories for your appliances. Colorado Kitchen Designs cannot guarantee the accuracy of manufacturer’s appliance specifications. Therefore, we may ask you to sign a document confirming your selections of appliances and fixtures prior to ordering cabinetry. Should you change your appliance, or fixture selections, after cabinetry is ordered, you may incur additional costs for design time, modifications to cabinetry, any re-orders, or other adjustments
