Frequently Asked Questions

What contractor / installer will we use?

Vibe has a list of preferred installers & contractors we work with but are happy to collaborate with an installer or contractor of your choice. Our design agreement will clearly state the terms and conditions so there won’t be any confusion for any party!

What if I change my mind after we get started?

Our design agreement will clearly outline how we manage through changes in scope- including space plans, materials, and construction. We’ll also cover what happens in the case we have to make bigger changes.

What if the design doesn’t feel like me? 

Then Vibe hasn’t done its job to understand what you need, and we’ve failed on one of our core values- collaboration! It’s your home. It should feel like you. We just need to help you express that.

Who makes your cabinets? 

Vibe works with two semi-custom cabinet manufacturers, and two fully-custom manufacturers. All our manufacturers are fully insured and take quality assurance very seriously. 

How long does a project take? 

It depends on the size and complexity of the project. Elevate projects can take 6-8 weeks, Renovate project 8-12 weeks, and Innovate projects 12-20 weeks to complete.

How much should I budget? 

It depends on the size and complexity of the project. Once we discuss the project, Vibe will provide broad budget ranges, and before we move forward, we will agree to the scope & budget allocated.
