We frequently get the question from client's who haven't remodeled before about what is going to be taking place in their homes during the process of a complete kitchen remodel. Because remodeling is a fluid process, we can't give clients exact dates at project kickoff. But what we can tell them is the precise order in which things will be happening in their kitchen:

Step One: Removal of Existing Kitchen & Evaluation of all things exposed

This consists of the obvious on the first day (removing old appliances, cabinetry, countertops, flooring, etc.). The evaluation process takes place next. This is where we walk through the space and assess with laser-level precision the status of your existing walls, ceiling and floor. We need to know if there are any corrections to be made before proceeding. If everything looks good, we move on to the next step. However, if we encounter out-of-level floors or ceilings that require modifications to the framing, we help the homeowners decide what to do next.

Step Two: Electrical / Plumbing Rough-In

After demolition, rough-in work can begin, which includes any framing, plumbing, or electrical changes. Most kitchen remodels require new light fixtures if not an entirely new lighting system altogether. It is at this time when we lay out where all electrical outlets, lighting and appliance power feeds will be placed. (Don’t be in a rush to get beyond the rough-in stage until you’ve had the first inspection, called the rough-in inspection.)

Step Three: Set up and Install Mechanicals

The mechanical installation is next, and takes a little longer. It’s during this phase of the kitchen remodel timeline that new plumbing, HVAC and electrical is installed. Also included at this time is any home automation installation (speaker wire, cable wire, etc.). We also have to allow time for mechanical inspections from the township prior to commencing with insulation and drywall.
