Who should you hire to redesign a kitchen?

• <div><p>You can hire a few different experts to redesign a kitchen. The best option depends on your goals, budget, and timeline. For small updates, we recommend hiring a contractor who specializes in kitchen renovation.

If you’re looking for more ideas in the planning stage, you can hire an interior designer or a kitchen remodeling company. Both options will help you thoroughly envision your new kitchen before the remodel begins.</p></div>

Is an architect or designer better for remodeling?

Q: Can I change the style of cover on my baseboard heater?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s unlikely. Not many baseboard heaters come with designs that offer the option to switch to a new kind of cover, but you can certainly ask the manufacturer for more information. Keep in mind, a cover with the same dimensions as your old cover isn&rsquo;t guaranteed to fit because clasps, screws, and brackets may be in different places. The only way to be sure is to find an alternate cover that&rsquo;s made to work with your specific model.</p></div>

Q: Where can I find a certified independent kitchen designer?

• <div><p>A certified kitchen designer (or CKD) is a certification given by the National Kitchen and Bath Association.

"Once I sent her all the measurements, it took her a little while to get the options back to me. Overall, they're good designs. However, they're very simplistic and give general ideas for space planning. I was hoping to have a better idea for sizes of furniture for the space and some variations on staging.
Jill was very responsive when I did have a question. I'm not sure how helpful it is to have a virtual design done. If we lived in similar cities, I'd probably use her again for help with additional designs.

"I got a deal from Berger about their table pad and just in time for my new dining room set. I didn't have time to set the template due to a new baby in the house. A few months later, they still honored my deal! WOW! I sent it in and they made the pad pretty quick. Shipping was fine and the fit was excellent. I would recommend them to anyone! Truly a good company to work with. A++"

"EXCELLENT!
This was a most impressive job!
I know I would never have been able to do as good of a job as they did.
Clean up went very smoothly as all they needed to do was remove the coverings, equipment and supplies.
For people who think they can paint (emphasis on myself), you will be amazed at what a difference professionals make. I have done
interior and exterior painting myself. It was hard work.
Our home looks great!
Thank you Alan, Gene and Tom.
