HOW TO MEASURE YOUR KITCHEN
Before any planning can start we must know the exact dimensions available to work with. Using the measuring procedure illustrated, carefully prepare a simple floor plan of your existing kitchen.
Your completed floor plan should resemble the diagram shown to the right. Make sure you show exact locations of doors, windows, hood vents, exhaust, gas line, water line, drains, switches, outlets, light fixtures and heat vents. Double check all measurements.

Free Kitchen Design FAQs
What information do I need to work with a designer?
To assist our designers in helping you layout your kitchen, it is helpful for them to reference an architectural plan, CAD model, previous design plans or quotes. If you don’t have this information, simply filling out our design form is often enough to help our designer get started.
How do I communicate with my designer?
Your designer will be available by either phone or email.
How far in advance before my project should I work with a designer?
It is recommended that you begin working with a designer between two weeks and two months before your project is scheduled to begin. This will give your designer enough time to provide you a layout as well as account for lead time in shipping your cabinets.
Is there a kitchen measuring service?
We currently do not offer a kitchen measuring service. Please use our design form for assistance in measuring your kitchen.
How can I speed up the design process?
You can speed up the design process by reviewing the cabinet lines we offer and having a sense of which lines interest you. Ordering a sample door in advance can assist with this selection. Also, it is helpful to provide your designer with either a architectural plan, CAD model, previous design plans or quotes ahead of the design process.
I submitted my information but haven't heard back?
It typically takes 1 – 2 business days to get your project assigned to a designer. This can sometimes take an extra day during our busy sale periods. If you have waited longer than 3 business days, please feel free to contact us directly.
