Contact Us for a FREE Preliminary Design Consultation. You may call us at 617-932-1680 or email us directly at info@belkitchenandbath.com to schedule a meeting. We are happy to either meet at your project site or at our showroom to get a sense for your style and your vision. Some people like to share pictures or articles with their favorite kitchen design or custom vanity, which we welcome.

We will take measurements, unless you already have them, and start designing your perfect kitchen, keeping in mind your budget and design input. Once ready, we will meet with you at our showroom, share what we have come up with in 3D and firm up door styles and colors. After you have seen the design(s), if you’d like to move forward or if you’d like to take copies of the design, we ask for a design retainer, which we will ultimately apply towards your order. We can keep tweaking the design as you wish, until it is absolutely the one

Once we have a design that you love, we will place your order for the cabinets and in about 3-10 weeks (depending on the manufacturer you choose) your dream kitchen can start becoming a reality.
