Identify your needs

Some questions to consider:
- Are you remodeling or building a new home? If remodeling will you be living in the home during the remodel?
- What is the age of the home?
- Are you in a single family home, townhome, apartment/condo?
- What is the general size of the kitchen today?
- Are you expanding this space, adding on to this space, and/or relocating this space?
- How many cooks do you have in your kitchen?
- Does anyone in the home have physical limitations that should be considered? Consider typical kitchen or bath movements such as standing, walking, bending and reaching with cabinetry in mind.
- How often do you entertain?
- What are your goals for the new space? A new look, more space, more storage, prep home for resale, create my dream kitchen or bath, adding an island?
