Hi B.,
I assume you are located in the Twin Cities. My neighbor owns his own construction business and specializes in remodeling projects. He is a terrific guy -- give him or his sales manager a call. (Ron Baker, owner) Dick, Sales Manager ###-###-#### Roncor Construction. I do have contacts with other interior designers, but I know that Ron has the internal people to come up with the design and can do the project based on your specific desires.
At least get a couple bids on the project so you can be assured of understanding all your options and how the different companies work.
Good luck
S.
PS -- we plan to remodel our kitchen in the next year.
