Q: WHEN IS THE RIGHT TIME TO REACH OUT TO THE FITCH HILL TEAM?
You can reach out to us anytime. Since our team is able to handle projects from start to finish, you should reach out to us as early as possible. The pre-construction process typically takes about 2-3 months before any design work or construction could even begin.
Q: WHAT ARE NEXT STEPS? WHAT DO WE DO TO GET STARTED?
If you haven’t already filled out our intake form then that is where you need to start. Once you have done that you will be taken through our automated process that will guide you each step of the way. Our process is very important to us as it allows us to provide you with the best experience and outcome for your home.
Q: WHAT IS THE APPROXIMATE TIMELINE FOR EACH OF YOUR SERVICES?
As you probably know, supply chain issues are hitting every industry, including ours, so lead times vary, which can affect the timeline of your project. However, to design + build a home from beginning to end, you should plan on 12-24 months. Our renovation projects vary depending on the scope of the project. We work quickly and efficiently, and can give you a fairly accurate timeline expectation when you inquire about your project. Generally, this takes 6-12 months depending on the scope of your design.
Q: HOW CAN I GET AN ESTIMATE FOR TOTAL BUILD OR RENOVATION COSTS?
While we can give you some ballpark estimates in our initial call, we need approved designs in order to provide fully accurate construction estimates. We will provide you with a flat rate design fee at the beginning of the project and once designs are finalized and approved, we will provide you with a detailed and accurate construction bid. When reviewing construction bids, it’s very important to look closely at the scope to make sure that any bids you are comparing are based on similar inclusions and exclusions. Our team will always be as transparent and realistic as possible when providing any costs. It’s good to be wary of any bids that you may get that are much lower that the others as it can signal an inexperienced contractor and may end up costing much, much more in the long run in delays, issues, or “change” fees.
Q: HOW MUCH DOES A KITCHEN REMODEL TYPICALLY COST?

Q: HOW LONG DOES A KITCHEN REMODEL USUALLY TAKE FROM START TO FINISH?

Q: WHAT FACTORS SHOULD I CONSIDER WHEN PLANNING A KITCHEN REMODEL?
A couple of factors should be considered when planning your kitchen remodel:
- Budget: We can design for various budgets and want to make sure that we are budgeting properly for your wants and needs while also communicating expectations on deliverables.
- Style: Have a pinterest board or screenshots of ideas. You don’t need to know exactly what you want or where to find it, we will handle that for you while managing your budget.
- Functionality: Think about your lifestyle in the kitchen and what is important to you; family/friend gatherings, cooking, daily activities, etc
Let’s create a kitchen that’s both beautiful and functional, tailored to fit your unique lifestyle. - Timeline: Dreaming of a new kitchen just in time for a special occasion, like a holiday gathering or an anniversary celebration? We’ll plan accordingly, so your kitchen is transformed in time for your memorable event.
- Permits and Regulations: Depending on the scope of the project, permits may be required. We’ll handle the permit application process for you and ensure that all work complies with local building codes and regulations.

Q: DO YOU OFFER WARRANTIES ON YOUR KITCHEN REMODELING SERVICES AND PRODUCTS?
Yes, we offer warranties on both our labor and manufacturer product warranties. Our warranties vary depending on the specific service or product, but we stand behind the quality of our workmanship and materials.
Q: WHAT IS THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN SEMI-CUSTOM AND CUSTOM REMODEL?
Semi-Custom Remodel: A semi-custom remodel most of the time means that only a few of the pieces are custom made specifically for your space. This allows us to control the budget while also being able to provide some nice design elements that are unique to your space.
This approach offers a balance between affordability and personalization.
Custom Remodel: A custom remodel involves creating entirely bespoke designs tailored to the homeowner’s preferences. This may include custom-built cabinets, unique layouts, and personalized features crafted to fit the specific dimensions and style of the kitchen.
While custom remodels offer maximum flexibility and creativity, they often come with a higher price tag.
