Our Process

Refined for 70 years to create the ultimate kitchen design experience for you and your family.

Discovery

The experience begins in our showroom as a one-on-one collaboration with one of our highly trained design team members. If you already have plans or dimensioned sketches, we invite you to bring them to your appointment; if you don’t, simply bring your ideas about what would make the ideal kitchen for your family. We’ll introduce you to the vast array of products and design solutions available to you. Together, we’ll talk about your unique needs — including space requirements, materials, finishes, and appliances — and, of course, schedule and budget. Together, we’ll explore how transformative design can enhance your space, blending aesthetic appeal with functional improvements.

Initial Presentation

During this second phase, your Kd. designer will meet with you to review everything discussed during the Discovery phase and present initial design concepts tailored to your needs, space, and vision. We’ll walk you through our creative direction, introduce suggested materials and product ideas, and share the inspiration and rationale behind our approach.

By the end of this meeting, you’ll have a clear understanding of our design intent and process. If you’re ready to move forward, we’ll create a retainer agreement to initiate the next phase — the Design & Development of your project.

*This initial fee, based on the overall scope of your project, will be credited toward the cost of your Kd. cabinetry purchase. It is non-refundable should you choose not to proceed.

Design & Development

Now, the real fun begins! In this phase, we’ll develop and refine your kitchen design based on site conditions, and measurements. While Kitchen Distributors does not provide structural, mechanical, or construction documents, we work closely with architects, contractors, and/or any other trade professionals that may be required to ensure seamless integration of our designs within the larger project scope.

Your Kd. designer will produce a complete set of cabinetry-focused drawings, including detailed layouts, elevations, dimensions, and appliance and plumbing integration plans. We’ll also finalize material selections, finishes, and provide all cabinetry and design specifications — giving the build team the clarity they need for a smooth execution.

Final Presentation + Agreement

In this phase, we will present the final design, including all cabinetry drawings, and formal agreements for approval. At this time, the final product selections and project timeline are confirmed; then, upon receipt of a 50% deposit, final drawings and specifications are released to the appropriate parties — and the project proceeds to the fabrication phase.

Fabrication

Following the detailed guidelines in our meticulously crafted drawings, specifications, and approved samples, our master cabinetmakers will begin to create your dream kitchen. Your Kd. design team will assist in the final selection of actual stone slabs, tiles, and other design elements and coordinate the installation schedule, including the arrival of all essential elements.

Installation & Construction

Kd. collaborates with specialized contractors to offer comprehensive turnkey remodeling and construction services. Our team coordinates seamlessly with these experts, ensuring a smooth project from start to finish. With extensive experience in overseeing projects, we serve as a single point of contact throughout every phase of your project, guaranteeing a successful and hassle-free completion.

After-Completion Support

At Kd., we understand that you’re making a dual investment in your new kitchen — both financial and emotional — and we are dedicated to ensuring satisfying returns on both. After your installation has been completed, your designer will meet with you in your home to familiarize you with your new kitchen’s features and confirm satisfaction down to the smallest detail. This is one of the most thrilling moments for our designers and clients alike, and we look forward to sharing it with you.

What Our Clients Are Saying

Steven G.

As a builder here in town I have worked with Kitchen Distributors on many projects over the years. As with any relationship it takes time to fully understand what the other is bringing to the table. With ease I can say Kd and designer Elisabeth Aiello are my first choice at every project. Elisabeth has an amazing eye, the products/materials Kd offers are elegant and the install team are some of the best craftsmen I have been around, Chris is a magician. Simply put, I do not have to worry when I bring Kitchen Distributors in on a project.

Brenda G.

We have used bulthaup twice, once to remodel a kitchen in our previous home and to build the kitchen in our new home, which was finished about a month ago in early July 2019. You can’t find more professional, creative and absolutely exceptional staff than Jed, William and Elizabeth. Their products and design are wonderful and their estimates are thorough and accurate. They were a pleasure to deal with in every respect. A well designed and functional kitchen makes a house and we feel very fortunate to have been able to work with bulthaup Kitchen Distributors.

Rachel G.

My experience with bulthaup Kitchen Distributors was exemplary. William, Jed and their staff are extremely knowledgeable about their product, have exquisite taste, an eye for detail, and are an absolute pleasure to work with. Our bulthaup kitchen is efficient, functional and beyond beautiful. It is my favorite room in our house, and if we ever move, we would choose William and Jed to design another bulthaup kitchen for us.

Jean V.

William, Jed and the staff were delightful and extremely helpful in our kitchen design. They collaborated with us and really listened to what our needs were. Their advice was valuable, the installation was efficient and we are now enjoying a gorgeous kitchen that functions as beautifully as it looks. And there was no stress in dealing with separate subcontractors for each phase of kitchen design and installation. Do not hesitate to use bulthaup Kitchen Distributors.

Nancy W.

Kitchen Distributors remodeled my kitchen, utility room and bar. A year later they remodeled my bathrooms and closets. I was so pleased with the results in my home that I had them remodel the kitchen, bathrooms, utility room, fireplace and front entry in my Breckenridge home.

Jennifer M.

I have had the great pleasure of working with Elisabeth at Kitchen Distributors for our recent major kitchen remodel. I must just say- she is the very best in the industry. Her designs, ideas, knowledge and eye for color are unparalleled. Elisabeth is the kind professional that takes pride with each step of the remodel process- leaving you feeling totally at ease.

I feel privileged to have a kitchen designed by Elisabeth Aiello from Kitchen Distributors!

Chad C.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Kd, and they are truly an amazing team of kitchen design experts! If you’ve ever been through the kitchen remodeling process you know it can be… challenging, but they really do take care of everything, down to the last detail. I would definitely recommend them to anyone considering a new kitchen for their home.
