We’re the team behind Erica Kay Design. With more than 20 years of combined experience, we’ve built a reputation as Kansas City’s go-to choice for kitchen design and remodeling.

From floor plan reconfigurations to selecting the perfect custom cabinetry, countertops, and finishes, our proven 5-Stage Process ensures a seamless, stress-free experience from concept to completion.

If you’re looking for a kitchen remodeler in Kansas City who will listen to your vision, manage every detail, and deliver a space that enhances your home, let’s create something amazing together.

Our Process: How We Transform Homes

At Erica Kay Design, we guide Kansas City families through a proven 5-Stage Process that takes the stress out of remodeling. Whether you’re planning a kitchen remodel, bathroom renovation, or whole home remodel, we bring clarity, creativity, and confidence at every step.

Stage 1: Design Discovery & Consultation

We begin with a project questionnaire, virtual consultation, and in-home measurements to understand your goals, budget, and vision.

Stage 2: Kitchen & Home Design —
Plans, Walkthroughs, & Estimates

We create mood boards, floor plans, and cabinetry elevations to bring your vision to life. To give you a complete budget picture, we coordinate a contractor walkthrough (and appliance rep if needed), followed by a detailed bid and our cosmetic estimate for cabinetry, countertops, tile, plumbing, and lighting.

Stage 3: Budget & Scope Alignment —
Design + remodeling with Clarity

With estimates in hand, we review contractor bids and your cosmetic estimate together. This stage defines your scope, budget, and timeline, guiding smart design trade-offs so you can move forward with confidence.

Stage 4: Selections &
Procurement — Cabinetry, Finishes & Details

We finalize your cabinetry details and place a deposit to secure your build. From there, we guide you through showroom visits, material selections, and finish decisions. Once selections are approved, we manage procurement, coordination, and deliveries to keep everything on track.

Stage 5: Construction Support —
From Design to Completion

We provide detailed construction drawings and coordinate with your contractor during key milestones, including rough-ins, cabinet installation, and countertop templating. Throughout the process, we act as your advocate to ensure the design vision is fully realized.
