It's not surprising, then, that over 90% of our business is generated through referrals. Our clients like what we do and tell their friends about us. Project communication is critical to our success and your satisfaction. As a result, we work within the client's "real world" budget from the beginning. We'll visit you at your home to discuss your objectives in detail, and supply comprehensive cost breakdowns, job specifications and project schedules.

For an estimate specific to your older home and project ideas, please contact us today to schedule a Free Initial Design Consultation at your home! Because Common Vision primarily works on New Haven area older homes, it is both common and recommended that the old galvanized and lead pipes be upgraded to copper and ABS. We also highly recommend that a good fan be installed in the ceiling and exit through the roof (not the attic).

Some people are very comfortable with two dimensional plans, elevations, sections and details (the traditional design package) and need nothing more to be able to visualize the changes we propose to make to their homes. Other people may need some additional perspective views. Still others may want or need colored perspectives or even photo-realistic renderings.

read moreIf you like our ideas and can work within our budget range, we need to do a feasibility study to define costs and design details. This could cost anywhere from a few hundred to several thousand dollars depending on project scope. You will then be able to see color perspectives of what your space or addition could look like. We also then put some fairly accurate budget numbers to these concepts based on a list of specifications with allowances. Having done a client questionnaire regarding your preferences and desires, at this point in time you also need to begin to make appliance, fixture, and material choices that will help us to create a design that covers your needs.

read moreWe have a showroom/design center that showcases our cabinet lines, countertop products and a large number of source books that cover any kind of project, from kitchens to additions to built-ins. This is a great place to meet for planning a variety of renovation projects. We represent several cabinet manufactures, carefully selected for the overall quality and variety of their products, as well as their integrity and service reliability. It makes no difference whether a client's budget or preferences dictate stock or custom designs.
