A high-end look on a budget<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Having a realistic budget maximum to spend on a kitchen remodel does not mean you have to settle for a kitchen that doesn\u2019t meet your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Atlanta Design & Build, we\u2019re experts in finding the right solutions for your kitchen, to design and build a project that accomplishes your goals.

Our goal is to set realistic expectations from the beginning and understand your goals for style, function and budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finding pain points<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

What are the problems in your kitchen? Almost everyone who comes to us for a project has a kitchen that was designed by somebody else, whether it be a builder or previous homeowner, that simply isn\u2019t meeting their needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\u201cAre they just old cabinets? Is it a terrible layout? Is there a lack of storage?\u201d Dale says. \u201cWe want to get all those answers together and then determine, do we need to design this towards your dream kitchen that you want, or do we need to design it towards a budget scope or a combination of the two?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most important part of a successful kitchen remodel is establishing those priorities upfront.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creative solutions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While high-end appliances won\u2019t fit into a conventional kitchen budget we can still<\/em> attain great functionality and an attractive look. Some of our favorite appliance options are double-oven ranges, and stainless steel chimney hoods that offer an aesthetic without a cost-conscious look. Instead of a built-in refrigerator, a counter-depth option offers tremendous savings. A countertop microwave with a trim kit can replicate a built-in look at a fraction of the cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
