Why are you so good?

Do you have any references I can call?

Can I just hire you to get me started, perhaps get some great ideas, and then decide later if I want to take it further?
  • Yes, you can hire us just for a consultation and think about it for as long as you like. We do recommend a minimum of 3 to 4 hours for an initial consultation, though.
Say I decide to use your services. What do I do next?
  • Initially, we meet with clients for a 3 to 4 hour consultation. This can be either in your home, at the ADAC design center in Atlanta, or anywhere you choose that is convenient for you.
  • There we will discuss your ideas and we will give you expert planning and design advice. Prior to the consultation we may ask you some questions (via email or on the phone) to further help you save your time.
Would you measure and design my kitchen and provide me with a kitchen design plan?
  • Yes, we can provide you with a computer generated plan or full AutoCAD blueprints.
What can I then do with my plan?
  • When you have your plan you are under no obligation to use our services any more. You can use it to shop around for estimates.

Do I have to buy cabinets or any products from you?
  • No, we only help you make the best selections for your budget.
Can I buy cabinets from you?
  • Yes, we can buy your cabinets for you from a large selection, including the highest quality cabinets from Europe at prices much lower than those in the showroom.
Do I need to select my appliances prior to the estimate?
  • We recommend that you know all the appliances that you want to use in the kitchen. That will make the estimate more comprehensive.
Will you help me select my appliances?
  • Yes, we can give expert advice about the latest and best appliances on the market. We are not tied to any manufacturer so we won't try to sell you a particular product or appliance, just advise you on the best for your kitchen and budget.
