OUR PROCESS


The Road To a Home That You LOVE

During your remodel, Great Kitchens & Baths handles everything you need and advises you at every single step of the project, so you don’t suffer any costly mistakes or nasty surprises. 

For us, the best products and designs are the ones that suit your lifestyle: we’re here to cut through the confusion and give you expert guidance on your options. We’ll help you make decisions that suit your current budget and lifestyle needs – but which you’ll also be happy with years down the line.

The only real thing to worry about is that you may finish the remodel with a room you love so much, you find yourself making excuses to spend all your time there! (Repeat after us: no one needs 5 showers a day…!)

There’s also no problem if you already have a contractor – we can work alongside them to deal with just the design aspect of your project (steps 1-6). Get in touch with us for more details about that option.

01 Free In-Depth Discovery Interview

Once you’ve scheduled an appointment with us at our showroom in Muncie, IN, we’ll sit down together, listen to your wishlist for your new space, and give you the opportunity to ask us all the questions you want. 

Crucially, we start with YOU and your needs – not just with product recommendations. If you’re unsure of your budget or whether your ideas are feasible, we’ll give you our 100% honest guidance. By the end of that session, you’ll know exactly what to expect from us, and we’ll have a great understanding of how we can create a perfect custom space for you.

02  On-Site Expert Analysis

One of our designers will visit your home to conduct an in-depth structural evaluation of the space and take detailed measurements. By paying such close attention to the realities of your space early on, we’ll be able to create a detailed initial design that we’re confident is 100% workable.


03  Lifestyle Check-In

How do you and your family use your space, and how might you want to use it in the future? We‘ll consider the small-but-crucial details, like how many people get ready in your bathroom each morning, or how we could arrange your cabinets so you don’t have to get on your hands and knees to pull out the blender on margarita night!

By putting YOU at the center of the design, we make sure you’ll get a design that’s stylish, practical, and fits you and your home like a glove. We frequently surprise our clients with options they’d never even thought of, but which turn out to be totally right for them!

04  Collaborative Design

Two NKBA-certified designers (because two brains are better than one!) translate your vision, ideas, and all the preparatory info we’ve gathered into a detailed initial design and budget, and we walk you through your options for products and finishes in our showroom. This is a great opportunity for you to get recommendations from true industry experts, and to touch, see and experience all products and finishes in one place before buying!

We also do a second analysis of your home with our Production Manager, to double and triple check for potential hidden problems or obstacles that would need to be addressed in the design.

05  New Space Test-Drive!

We use 3D computer-generated color renderings to help you picture and experience your new space in as much detail as possible, so we can make any changes or explore design/finish alternatives before the construction process begins. 

When we’re done, you’ll be 100% happy with both the look and functionality of your new room, and you won’t have to worry about things not looking how you expected once the remodeling gets underway.

06  Final Design and Project Price

We present you with floor plans, elevations, and perspective drawings that adhere to NKBA drawing standards and guidelines, and give you a price that includes EVERYTHING needed to complete your project.

You’ll get detailed specifications that outline the scope of the project and products chosen. Plus you’ll know the total cost of the full package in advance, so that you’re confident there will be NO hidden costs or omissions.

07  Set Up For Success

Next, we project-manage all of the planning and work that takes place behind the scenes to set your project up for success, including job scheduling and material procurement - no detail is too small for us to handle!

During this stage, everything is carefully planned to ensure the smoothest possible, most disruption-free remodeling experience for you.

08  Stress-Free Installation

Once we begin work on your project, we stay on it until completion, so that you have minimal to no downtime. Our workers keep the job site orderly and safe, and we insist that they clean it daily and use barriers to protect your home and belongings

This will give you total peace of mind and confidence in our team - so much so that many of our clients go on vacation during part of the project!

09  Final Inspection

Imagine being a contractor... and getting told by your clients that you’re being too picky! We hear it a lot, but our employees take great pride in their workmanship and hold themselves to the highest standards.

As well as completing internal punchlists throughout the project, we walk through every single aspect of the project with you once the construction’s completed, to ensure that you’re 100% happy with the result. There’s no scenario where you wouldn’t end up head-over-heels in love with your new room!

10  Love Your New Space!

Here you are… this is what it's all about. Your daydreams have come to life and now you can start living in your home the way that you always dreamed of

Relax and enjoy your new chef's kitchen, sink into the tub of your own private oasis bathroom, have friends over to enjoy your new basement bar, or create great work in your inspiring new office!

We also stand behind our work and make it a point of pride to guarantee that everything in your new space continues to function and perform exactly as it should. If it doesn’t, then whether it’s been 3 months or 3 years since you last saw us, we’re just a phone call or showroom visit away.

We guarantee that you’ll walk away from us and straight into a new room that you’re thrilled with!
