Like clockwork

It's common, when you're planning a new kitchen, to be regaled with tales of remodeling upheavals and even horror stories. But it is possible to minimize the disruption when you enlist the help of the professionals.

Members of the National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA) know what is involved in the design, manufacture and installation of a new kitchen. Working with an NKBA member right from the outset will smooth the process, and also save you both time and money.

Cathy Sparling, CKD, NKBA MidWest president, says NKBA members stay abreast of current trends by attending professional development courses that raise the bar for kitchen and bath design.

"The NKBA recognizes that a new kitchen is a big investment for most people," she says. "Homeowners can rest assured they are dealing with a highly trained and experienced professional. And it's not just the bigger picture at stake NKBA members have a wealth of experience in finding solutions to specific design challenges, both large and small."

Sparling says NKBA members are fully up to date on all the latest materials and appliances and can source these at competitive rates.

To help plan your kitchen, the association has published The NKBA Kitchen & Bath Workbook a step-by-step resource that guides you through the process.
