Kitchens normally last about 20 years before homeowners consider remodeling. If you’re at this point, keep reading to learn more about what you can expect with a kitchen renovation.
A Meeting With a Kitchen Designer
A kitchen update starts with a kitchen designer. This is when you get to discuss ideas and establish your budget. Professional remodelers can also suggest cost-effective options you may not have considered, such as using a sink that automatically turns on and off when you place your hands under the water. They can also recommend layouts that make the kitchen flow smoother.
Getting Your Kitchen Ready
This is when a kitchen professional comes to your home to measure your kitchen and provide an estimate. They also make sure everything is in line with your plans and budget.
The Initial Removal of Old/Unwanted Kitchen Materials
During this phase of the renovation process, construction workers or renovation experts take away materials you no longer want in your kitchen. In some instances, the entire kitchen is taken apart down to the floorboards and walls. Other times, only certain things are removed based on what works for your plans and budget.
The Initial Work
After the demolition is completed, electrical and plumbing work is done when the exterior walls are visible, and the work can be done easily. This may also include setting things up for appliances such as dishwashers, sinks, and washers and dryers if you plan on having your washer and dryer in the kitchen area. The drywall is installed as well after the renovation experts take care of everything behind the walls. Walls and ceilings are also painted.
Installations and Finishing Touches
This is when your renovation team installs new cabinets, countertops, sink(s), and appliances. They also install anything else you want to include, such as the backsplash and lights.
Finishing touches can also include curtains, flooring, an island, tables, chairs, and anything else you prefer to have in your kitchen. If you prefer an open design without cabinets in certain areas, shelves can also be installed on walls.
Final Check-Through
Lastly, everything will be checked to ensure nothing is overlooked. You’ll also get to give your final approval of the work that was done for you. If local officials need to inspect, someone from the renovation team will take care of this as well.
