What Do I Need To Do To Prepare for My Kitchen Remodel?

Start by considering the needs and challenges within your existing kitchen. Once you have done that, our designers will help you determine the best way to layout a functional, aesthetically pleasing kitchen.

When Is the Best Time to Remodel My Kitchen?

You can remodel your kitchen any time of the year. Summer is typically easiest for most homeowners because you can schedule the bulk of the construction work while you’re away on vacation.

Another ideal time is early fall before the holidays. This gives you time to complete the remodel before your guests arrive.

What Is the Right Order to Remodel a Kitchen?

We recommend the following timeline for your kitchen remodel:

• Review ideas and consider features you want to include
• Interview and select a contractor
• Create a rough design
• Set a budget and timeline
• Set a start date and prepare your home
• Start construction

Should I Open the Wall Between My Kitchen and the Adjoining Room?

Opening the wall can make a small kitchen feel more spacious and inviting.

This can also give you more space for storage, breakfast nooks, kitchen islands, and other features you want to include in your design.

What Should You Not Do When Remodeling a Kitchen?

Don’t ignore the importance of layered lighting, adequate seating, and traffic flow.

You also need to consider your workspace, the position of appliances, the amount of storage you need, and the location of the trash can.

Can I Finance My Kitchen Remodel?

Financing your remodel is a fast and easy way to add value to your home today! We offer financing options with competitive rates so that you can get started on your dream kitchen now.

What Type of Return on Investment Can I Expect From Remodeling My Kitchen if I Sell My Home?

Remodeling your kitchen to make it more beautiful and functional will add value to your home.

Many homeowners easily recoup their investment, whether they own the home for a few more years or a few more decades.

What if I Just Want New Cabinets?

Custom cabinets can give your dull and drab kitchen a considerable upgrade. We recommend choosing cabinets that fit within your long-term design goals for the kitchen.

Our clients often start with cabinets and then quickly decide they want a complete kitchen remodel.

How Can I Make My Kitchen More Functional?

Cabinets and countertops will ensure you have the ideal amount of workspace and storage space.

Additional features that we recommend include built-in cutting boards, smart appliances, and custom pantry organization.

What Countertops Should I Choose?

The countertops set the tone for your kitchen. Tile and wood are popular, as are granite, epoxy, and laminate countertops.

We are happy to help you find the right countertop for your desired functionality and aesthetic.
