Project Timeline

1. Showroom tour and estimates

Your project starts here. Schedule an appointment and visit our showroom. Bring your ideas, photos, or even rough sketches. We’ll give you a guided tour of our cabinetry and countertop options, then provide a budget range to help you envision what’s possible.

2. Consultation and first presentation (1–2 weeks)

Next, one of our designers will visit your space to take detailed measurements and discuss your goals. About a week later, you’ll come back for your first design presentation. During this meeting, you’ll see layout options, style choices, and a full estimate.

At this stage, you have three paths forward:

Approve drawings and place your order (skip ahead to step 5).
Retain Goode Works LLC to continue refining your project (move to step 3).
Take your estimate home to review. Quotes are valid for 30 days.

Please note: drawings will not be released until an order is placed or a retainer agreement is signed.

3. Retainer agreement (1–2 weeks)

If you’re not ready to place your order but want to keep working with us, we’ll move forward with a retainer agreement. This ensures your designer continues developing your project. The retainer will be applied to your final payment.

4. Design selections (1–2 weeks)

Now the fun begins. You’ll finalize details like layouts, door styles, finishes, hardware, and countertops. Your designer will guide you through every choice so the pieces fit together beautifully.

5. Design approval, contracts, and ordering (1–3 months)

Once selections are set, your designer prepares final drawings and purchase agreements. These drawings become the instructions for installers and contractors, so we lock them in here to avoid costly changes later.

At this step, a deposit of 65% of the project total is due.

6. Preconstruction preparation (1–3 months)

Cabinetry is made to order, with an average lead time of 8–10 weeks. During this time, we’ll schedule final measurements and a preconstruction meeting. This ensures everything is ready for a smooth installation.

7. Cabinetry delivery and installation (3–6 months)

When your cabinets arrive at Goode Works LLC, we’ll coordinate delivery and installation with your contractor or directly with you. By now, jobsite preparation is usually underway based on the preconstruction plan.

8. Countertop templating and installation (3–6 months)

Once the cabinetry is in place, countertops are templated and installed within 7–10 business days.

9. Project close-out and review (3–6 months)

This is the best part, as you get to enjoy your finished space. At close-out, the remaining 35% balance is due (minus your retainer). You’ll receive all product warranties and care sheets. Finally, we’d love to hear your feedback, so please leave us a review on Google or Facebook.

What to expect in your agreement

We keep our process transparent and simple. Here are a few key points from our cabinetry and countertop sales and installation agreement:

Scope of work: All cabinetry and countertop sales, delivery, and installation are outlined in your approved design.
Payments: A 10% retainer begins the design phase. A 65% deposit is required before ordering; the remaining balance is due at close-out.
Site readiness: Customers are responsible for ensuring the jobsite is prepared (plumbing, electrical, walls, and floors must be ready).
Storage fees: If installation is delayed after delivery, a storage fee of $10 per cabinet, per month may apply.
Change orders: Any design changes after final approval require a signed change order and may affect pricing and timelines.
Warranties: We cover workmanship for one year. Manufacturer warranties are passed along to you.
Cancellations: The 10% design retainer is non-refundable. Orders canceled after production begins may incur forfeiture of deposits or restocking fees.

With this timeline and agreement, you always know where you stand, what comes next, and what’s required along the way. We’re here to make your remodeling project as smooth and enjoyable as possible. Schedule your appointment today!
