A $20,000–$40,000 kitchen. A $199 check.

Many big-box kitchen remodels run $20,000–$40,000. A professional review starts at $199, well under 1% of that investment.

Your cabinet quote assumes the plan is ready to order. It doesn't account for what a layout issue could cost to correct after the cabinets have been ordered.

Store design services can be genuinely helpful. An independent review builds on that work with another experienced set of eyes, starting at $199.

All reviews are conducted by our vetted design team using the standards established by our founders. Complete Glance adds direct one-on-one time with a senior team member: more access, not a different level of expertise.

See the original kitchen plan, what our designer noticed, and the improvements we recommended.

The same kitchen plan with the reviewer's numbered and lettered pins layered over each finding

What we noticed

Space shown on the plan is only 1-1/2″.

Why it matters

A 1-1/2″ filler beside the refrigerator means the door meets the wall before it opens far enough. The crisper drawers and door bins need the door past square to slide out, so without more room the bottom of the fridge holds things you can't get at. Additionally, a wider filler will resolve the conflict with the baseboard heater.

What to do

Consider reducing one of the base cabinets to pick up more space for a wider filler.

Pricing FAQs

Reviews check your plan against industry-standard kitchen planning guidelines and manufacturer specs. Local building codes and permits stay with your contractor and building department.

What file formats do you accept?

We accept PDF, PNG, JPG, and HEIC files. A PDF from your retailer or designer is ideal, but a clear phone photo of your printed plan works too. Your plan needs to show readable measurements. Include any additional drawings, cabinet details, and appliance specifications you have so we can better understand your kitchen. No design software is needed.

When does the turnaround clock start?

We aim to assign a reviewer within 24 hours of receiving your payment and plan files. Your review turnaround does not start at checkout. Essential Glance and Expert Glance: your review is returned within 72 hours of a reviewer being assigned. Complete Glance: your review is returned within 48 hours of completing your 30-minute discovery call. If you prefer to skip the call, Complete Glance’s 48-hour priority window starts when you let us know.

What if I have a concern about my review?

We stand behind the professional quality of our work. If you believe your review was conducted improperly or missed an obvious problem, contact us within 7 calendar days of delivery. We’ll assess your concern and respond with our findings. Our commitment is to a thorough, professional review, not a particular number of findings. A completed review fulfills the service whether we identify several potential problems, a few, or none.

Can you review a plan from any retailer or designer?

Yes. We review kitchen plans from home centers, local cabinet dealers, independent designers, online design tools, and other sources. The same professional standards apply, regardless of who created your plan or where you intend to buy your cabinets.

Which review option is right for me?

Essential Glance ($199) gives you a professional review with brief notes directly on your plan, a one-page summary, and an appliance tip sheet. Choose it for a straightforward check of potential problems and opportunities to improve your kitchen. Expert Glance ($349) includes everything in Essential Glance, plus detailed written explanations of our findings and recommendations. Choose it to better understand what’s worth changing and why. Complete Glance ($699) includes everything in Expert Glance, a 30-minute discovery call, and 48-hour priority turnaround. It also includes Storage Optimizer, our cabinet-by-cabinet storage review, and Final Plan Check, a follow-up review of your updated plan. Choose it for more personal guidance and support before and after changes are made.

What does the review cover?

We look at the measurements shown on your plan, where cabinets and appliances sit, how much counter and storage space you have, and whether there’s enough room to open doors, move around, and cook comfortably. We assess these details using published kitchen planning guidelines. Every option covers both potential problems and suggested improvements. Essential Glance includes brief notes. Expert Glance and Complete Glance add detailed written explanations of the findings.

Do you confirm appliance fit and measurements in my home?

We assess your kitchen as shown in the plans and information you provide. We do not visit your home, take measurements, or verify conditions on-site. You or your contractor should still confirm the final room measurements and the requirements for your exact appliance models before ordering. Every review includes our one-page Appliance Verification Tip Sheet to help you know what to check.
