Plan

First, you'll meet a Mayflower designer–project manager team to discuss your vision and goals. They'll listen, make suggestions, and work with you to define the strategy for your kitchen and bath remodeling or full-home renovation.

What happens during planning:

  • Site visit to look over your existing space
  • Taking measurements and pictures
  • Discussing your ideas and preferences
  • For new construction, we'll use your architectural plans
