Can I keep my current appliances?
Usually, as long as the cabinet openings are sized to fit them. Jot down the model numbers before we talk, and the new layout can be planned around them.
New cabinets and counters, better light or a whole new layout, with one lead ordering materials early and lining up each trade so your weeks without a kitchen stay few.
The first fork in any kitchen project is whether the sink, range and walls stay put. A same-footprint remodel swaps cabinets, counters and lighting. A new layout adds drain, supply and circuit work, and sometimes framing.
Both are reasonable. The itemized estimate shows what each path adds, so the choice rests on numbers rather than guesses.
Fresh cabinet boxes or refaced fronts, new tops, a backsplash and pulls, all sized around the appliances you're keeping or buying so everything fits.
Taking out a wall to join the kitchen to the next room, or fitting in an island, with the structure checked before demolition.
Under-cabinet task lights, pendants and the extra circuits modern appliances draw, planned around where you actually prep and cook.
Sink, faucet, dishwasher, range and fridge water line connected, including any rerouting a moved sink or new island sink requires.
Cabinets, counters and fixtures get picked and ordered up front. Cabinets are often the longest wait, so tear-out is timed to their delivery.
The old kitchen is removed, any wall coming out is opened up, and circuits and water lines are relocated for the new plan before drywall goes back.
Base cabinets are set and leveled, counters are measured off them, and backsplash, fixtures and appliances follow once the tops are in.
Usually, as long as the cabinet openings are sized to fit them. Jot down the model numbers before we talk, and the new layout can be planned around them.
Most families set up a temporary station in another room: the fridge, a microwave, a coffee maker and a folding table. The schedule tells you how many weeks to plan for.
Tell us where the counter space runs out, which cabinets you never open and what you'd move if you could. We'll talk through what that means for the job.
