After you finalize your floor plan, we require a deposit of 10% of your estimate to move into the color rendering phase. To finalize your order, we require 50% of the total balance to be paid to go into production. Your remaining balance can be paid anytime prior to scheduling a delivery in your home. We accept design deposits via all major credit cards and ACH. Cabinetry order deposits must be made via wire or ACH transfer due to payment size.
Our team is fully equipped to get you on your way to a truly amazing dream kitchen. We are experienced kitchen design professionals with a history of working with clients remotely — and our job is to deliver you a beautiful, functional kitchen design and cabinetry to complete it. But we leave the rest to you! Our design process includes full finish selection like paint, hardware, countertops, flooring and lighting, but we leave the final purchasing decisions to our clients. Interior designers create a unique design experience and execute projects in their own signature styles. They also provide services like procurement, receiving, warehousing, accessory styling, project planning and more. If those services sound like something you’re interested in, shoot us an email at hello@islaporter.com and we’ll connect you to someone amazing.
From design kickoff to delivery, most projects take about 16–24 weeks. This includes your design presentation, revisions, final approval, and production. Customizations like new finishes or door styles may extend that timeline slightly—but we’ll always keep you informed.
We offer floor plan generation and review, 3D color renderings, two rounds of design revisions, and a dedicated Project Lead to guide you through the entire process. We also send finish swatches and door samples to help you make decisions with confidence.
