Our Process

The Cozy Design Process

Step 1. Initial Estimate

Free of Charge

To start your project with Cozy, provide us with your measurements (see our Quick Measuring Guide ), photos of your existing space, and appliance sizes desired. Along with this information, send over a brief explanation of what your project includes (cabinetry, tile, appliances). From that point, you will receive a tiered estimate for cabinets, tile, and appliance pricing if needed. This initial estimate is a budgeting tool for your use.

Note: If you have scaled blueprints or plans for your remodel this will suffice. If you prefer Cozy to measure for your initial estimate, skip this step, and see Step 2.


Step 2. Home Measure/Site Visit

$150 fee

We are happy to have one of our professionals visit your home to gather all photos, measurements, and information needed to provide you an initial tiered estimate. After the visit, if you would like to proceed to Step 3, we will then have enough information to begin developing the design with you.


Step 3. Retainer & Design Development

Nominal fee based on project size

If you are ready to move forward with us, after your tiered estimate, your designer will ask for a retainer based on the project size. This allows us to design and provide detailed drawings. It includes two drawing revisions and two meetings. It also allows us to release hard copies of your design plans to you and your builder.

Note: Your retainer will be credited to your final project purchase.


Step 4. Finalize Plans & Selections

After the initial revisions, your designer will complete your designs and thoroughly review all aspects of your project, including all selections of cabinets, tile, and appliances. Once you sign-off on all drawings, selections, and proposals and a deposit is paid, your project will be put into production. You will receive a final copy of all plans and pertinent documents for all parties involved.


Step 5. Delivery & Installation

Our scheduling department will be in contact with you and your builder to coordinate the professional delivery and installation of all goods Cozy provides.

My aging kitchen had a cabinet door lose its hinge. Cozy Kitchen made it right in short time with new hinges and so all fixed! So grateful! Many thanks!

My wall oven died 10 days before Thanksgiving and the new one I purchased from another supplier was not quite the size same fit for the wall. Since Cozy had originally installed my cabinets and my old oven I called them to see if they could help. I cannot thank them enough for the exemplary customer service I received from beginning to end of my problem. As soon as I explained my dilemma their team went straight to work to get my cabinet altered and oven installed before Thanksgiving. The installers were careful, knowledgeable, and meticulous, and the new cabinet panel matches my cabinets perfectly. Cozy saved my Thanksgiving!

Cozy provided professionalism, service and quality for our cabinetry work. The design process was patient and thorough. They responded to changes/updates professionally. All the install crews were as nice as could be. The followed through on any/all punch list items. Very responsive. I definitely recommend Cozy when it comes to high-end cabinetry/kitchens in the OBX.

I had a new countertop and backsplash installed by Cozy Kitchens and found the customer service and end product to be 5 STAR . Every person I worked with from the front desk, designer, scheduler, counter company, backsplash installer to leadership in the company was amazing. Every person was professional, friendly , knowledgeable and eager to make sure I was happy and content with my choices and end results. I would highly recommend Cozy Kitchens.

Cozy designed and built the most beautiful custom cabinetry for our retail store front. We are constantly complemented on the display cases and cabinetry and many people ask us what the stone tops are that we used (Silestone quartz tops that look like honed marble) We get tons of compliments and we feel the case work is part of what makes our shop! Cozy has an experienced team who was on schedule with all of the delivery goals. We would happily use them again and suggest them to other builders or anyone renovating a space. Come by our shop to see their work in person! (Tried to post photos with this review but can’t figure how to do it...)
