Our Kitchen Design Process Overview
- Preparation for Kitchen Design
To facilitate an accurate estimate for your kitchen design, please ensure that you have the necessary room dimensions ready for your design consultation. For the most precise fit, we recommend using measurements from finished drywall, though this is not mandatory.
Please provide the following details:
- Wall Dimensions: Measurements in inches.
- Entryway: Location and dimensions (height and width, including trim).
- Windows: Location and dimensions (height and width, including trim).
- Ceiling Height: Total height from floor to ceiling.
- Appliance Sizes: Dimensions of existing or planned appliances.
For your convenience, please download and complete our Preparation Checklist prior to your consultation. Completing this form will ensure that our designer has all necessary information to begin working on your kitchen design immediately.

- Design Consultation
During your design consultation, you will have the opportunity to explore our extensive selection of cabinetry, as well as granite and quartz countertop options. Our experienced designer will review your requirements and preferences for the kitchen space and offer expert recommendations to enhance the functionality and aesthetic appeal of your layout.
- Design Development
Following the consultation, our designer will provide a detailed quote for your cabinetry and, if applicable, for solid-surface countertops. After you review the preliminary design, the designer will make adjustments based on your feedback until the layout meets your expectations and is finalized.
- On-Site Consultation
Once your design is finalized, we will schedule a complimentary on-site consultation (available in Peterborough; for surrounding areas, the consultation fee will be deducted from your kitchen order upon placement). Our recommended installer will assess the fit of your kitchen cabinet order and suggest any necessary adjustments to accommodate your space.
Additionally, our installation partner can provide estimates for cabinet installation and any other required renovation work during this visit. Choosing our recommended installer offers additional benefits, including a 5% discount on your order and free replacements for any items damaged during delivery or installation.
- Pick-Up, Delivery, or Installation
After your order is placed, your cabinets will be assembled and prepared for pick-up from ClassicBrand. The standard wait time is 2-3 weeks; however, we will confirm this timeframe before your order is finalized to account for any potential delays or back-orders. Flat-packed (unassembled) cabinet orders are typically available for pick-up within a few days.
Cabinets can be either picked up from our warehouse or delivered directly to your location. Whether you are using our recommended contractor, your own contractor, or opting for a self-installation, we will coordinate the delivery to suit your needs.
