WHAT IS INVOLVED WHEN PLANNING YOUR KITCHEN, BATH, OR HOME REMODEL?
In a nutshell, a typical remodel happens like this: A designer will come to your home and will take measurements and pictures and will discuss your wants and needs for your new kitchen or bath. In about a week or so, you'll have an appointment with the designer who will have at least two or more designs to present to you. From there, you will be guided through the process of selecting which cabinet brand, door style, color/stain, etc. that you want. You will have the opportunity to select everything from countertops to your new sink and faucet, to flooring, paint colors, lighting fixtures, appliances, plumbing fixtures, and more! Don't worry, we won't let you get overwhelmed! We will explain all of your options to you in detail and will be there to help you make great decisions!
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE FOR MY KITCHEN, BATH, OR HOME REMODEL?
The answer to this question is: it depends. All remodel projects are different, some are larger and more involved whereas others are on the smaller side. As the project moves along, certain things can only be done after other things have been completed. For instance, the countertops can't be templated until the base cabinets are set. The sink, faucet, and sink plumbing can't be done until the countertops are installed. We will project manage the job for you, keeping everything on track, and will advise you along the way on what is being done and what the timeline is. That all being said, a typical kitchen remodel can last between four to eight weeks.
WHAT DOES IT TAKE WHEN CREATING AN OPEN CONCEPT KITCHEN FLOOR PLAN?
Every kitchen can have different requirements in order to create an open concept kitchen floor plan, which is one of the most popular models that homeowners choose today. Opening the kitchen into the living areas creates a feeling of spaciousness in your home that enables a more flexible layout as your family grows and changes. Whether you remove all or part of a wall separating your kitchen from your living areas, you can easily transform both areas of your home. With today’s lifestyle being less formal than years past, formal dining rooms and isolated kitchens do not fit with how family’s function today. By opening your kitchen to the other living spaces in your home, this will allow for interaction between family and friends and socializing no matter which room you are in.
WHAT IS THE KITCHEN WORK TRIANGLE?
When considering a new layout for your kitchen, we look at the kitchen work triangle. The kitchen work triangle is a time-tested design used to make the kitchen work more efficiently by allowing for a good traffic pattern in the kitchen. This area is formed by the space between the kitchen sink, refrigerator, and stove. The idea is that the kitchen items need to be convenient to each other and have adequate counter space next to them for necessary food preparation.
WHAT WILL IT COST FOR MY KITCHEN/BATH OR HOME REMODEL?
This answer depends on many factors. When doing a remodeling project, there are many factors to consider such as material, labor, and possible overages. Sometimes there are unforeseen circumstances that may come up in a remodel, so give yourself a little wiggle room when doing your budget. No two projects are the same so if you are an HGTV watcher or talking to friends, remember your project is unique and is in the hands of a talented designer and established remodeling firm. You will get proper guidance for a realistic budget.
CAN I REUSE MY KITCHEN CABINETS?
Kitchen cabinets can be reused if you are looking to do a quick fix and will not be changing the floor plan. Often the old hinges and drawer glides show their age and trying to paint your old cabinets can prove to be a serious amount of time and effort. Having them painted professionally can sometimes cost as much as new cabinetry. If you only place a new countertop on the existing cabinets, then it wouldn't make sense to change your cabinets in the near future afterwards since you'd have to again replace the countertop.
CAN I DO PART OF THE PROJECT MYSELF?
Yes! We love DIY projects. We can simply design your project and drop ship to the site for you to take it from there. Every project is unique. We can work with you to make sure you do as much on your own as you are comfortable with. As long as we both know who is responsible for what part of the project, we can work together to make sure it comes together.
