Design and Planning Stage
Establishing Goals and Priorities
The first step in the kitchen remodel process is identifying what needs to change. Is your current layout limiting workflow? Do you need better lighting, more storage, or an open concept feel? Setting clear goals early on allows the rest of the process to align with your daily needs.
During this phase, we guide clients through the planning process, offering inspiration from previous remodels. For smaller spaces, ideas from our small kitchen remodel guide help maximize function and design.
Setting a Realistic Budget
Budgeting affects every decision, from cabinetry and countertops to appliances and finishes. While some clients focus on cosmetic updates, others invest in full layout changes. Understanding the potential kitchen remodel cost up front helps avoid delays and surprises.
Layout, Lighting, and Storage Planning
Reconfiguring the Space
If the goal is to improve flow, adjusting the kitchen layout may be necessary. Removing walls, adding an island, or repositioning appliances all impact cost and scope. For those considering an open layout, our open concept kitchen ideas page offers guidance on how to make the transition successfully.
Each change in layout typically requires electrical, plumbing, or structural adjustments. We assess these needs early so we can plan accordingly and avoid complications later in the build.
Planning Kitchen Lighting
Lighting also plays a big role in the kitchen remodel process. A well-lit space feels larger and more welcoming. During design, we help homeowners choose ambient, task, and accent lighting that works with their layout. Our kitchen lighting design recommendations support both style and practicality.
Smart Storage Solutions
Good storage is essential in every kitchen, regardless of size. Instead of adding bulk, we help clients make the most of every cabinet and drawer with vertical organizers, deep drawers, and clever corner solutions. For ideas, visit our full page of kitchen storage ideas.
Installation and Finishing Touches
Demolition and Build-Out
Once the design is finalized and materials are selected, demolition begins. This includes removing old cabinets, flooring, and appliances. If layout changes are included, rough plumbing and electrical are handled next.
During this phase, staying on schedule depends on efficient planning and professional project management. We coordinate trades, materials, and inspections to keep the process smooth and minimize downtime.
Bringing It All Together
With the foundation set, installation begins. Cabinets are placed, surfaces are installed, and lighting is mounted. Every element is reviewed for alignment, spacing, and finish. A final walk-through ensures the kitchen functions as planned and meets your expectations in both form and function.
