Our Process

Step One:

Stop by our showroom and speak with one of our designers to pick out cabinetry, countertops, and flooring.

Step Two:

Free in-home consultation when your designer takes measurements of your space, discusses layout, and learns what you envision for your home.

Step Three:

Your designer will create a plan for you based on the measurements taken and the materials you selected.

Step Four:

You and your designer will meet in our showroom to go over floorplan and 3D renderings of the design.

Step Five:

When you are ready to move forward, we require a 50% deposit to place the order. The balance is due upon delivery. We will send you or your contractor the applicable floor plans and renderings when you purchase.

Step Six:

Depending on your selections, your cabinetry can arrive as soon as a few weeks up to several months from the date of the order.

Step Seven:

Once the carpenter has installed your cabinets a laser-template for your countertops is created and will be installed within a few weeks typically.

Step Eight:

Relax and enjoy your new space!

A Joy To Work With

“Sandy was a joy to work with as we updated and remodeled our home. She’s very pleasant, patient, knowledgeable and helpful. If she didn’t have an answer to a question she reached out to the company’s representative and got back to us. She assisted us when we purchased two Heat-n-Glo enclosed gas fireplace inserts as well as ceiling fans and a bathroom fan. And she did a wonderful job explaining LED lighting. Our big project is complete, but we’ll definitely be back for her expertise on a few smaller DIY projects.

We always look forward to seeing her and her welcoming smile. We highly recommend Sandy and the Peoria KBL store.”
