Kitchen Remodeling
Kitchen renovations, from cabinet and counter replacement through to layout changes that move walls and services.
Kitchens are a sequencing problem
A kitchen has more trades and more lead times than any other room in a house. Cabinets are ordered weeks out, counters cannot be templated until the cabinets are set, appliances have to be on site so the cabinets can be fitted around them, and the licensed trades have to come back at the right moments.
That is why kitchens go wrong on schedule more than on craft. The build is manageable. The coordination is the job.
How we do it
Every job runs the same sequence. If something changes it, you hear about it the day we find it.
Design and select early
Layout, cabinets and appliances decided before demolition. Cabinet lead times set the whole schedule.
Demo and assess
Out to the studs where the layout is changing.
Rough in
Plumbing and electrical rough in by the licensed trades, inspected before closing up.
Cabinets, then counters
Cabinets set and leveled, then counters templated to what is actually installed rather than to a drawing.
Finish
Backsplash, appliances fitted, trim, and the final connections made by the licensed trades.
What it costs
What moves the number
Kitchens are driven by cabinetry and counter selection more than by labor.
| Work | What changes the price |
|---|---|
| Cabinet and counter replacement, same layout | Cabinet grade and counter material |
| Full gut, same layout | Finish level and appliances |
| Layout change moving plumbing and walls | Structural work and service relocation |
Cabinet lead times are the schedule. Once cabinets are ordered the rest of the sequence is set around their arrival.
We price off a site visit, not off a photograph, so you will not find a number on this page. You will get a written scope with a fixed price in it, and it will say what is included and what is not before you are asked for anything.
The work
Photographs from our own jobs.
How long will I be without a kitchen?
For a full renovation, typically six to twelve weeks. It is worth setting up a temporary kitchen somewhere before we start.
Can you move a wall?
If it is not structural, yes. If it is, that means a beam and proper support, which is doable and needs to be engineered and inspected.
Do you supply cabinets?
We can coordinate supply, or fit cabinets you have sourced. Either way they need to be on site and correct before we set them.
