Layout & appliance clearances
Plan traffic paths, door swings, appliance openings, storage, and work areas together. Reusing a layout and relocating services have very different scopes.
Interior renovations
A kitchen that works beautifully.
Bring better flow, practical storage, and a fresh finish to the heart of your home. We help turn your ideas into a clearly defined renovation, with cabinet, countertop, flooring, and finish options that suit the way you live.
Know what you’re investing in
A kitchen renovation
is more than cabinets.
The best-looking kitchen still needs to work day to day. Layout, cabinet support, countertop preparation, service connections, and finish transitions all need to fit together before installation begins.
Cabinets & secure installation
Cabinets need appropriate wall or floor support, attachment, leveling, and fillers. Uneven rooms require careful fitting to produce aligned doors and consistent finishes.
Countertops & sink preparation
Base cabinets support the countertop. Countertop material, sink style, seams, cutouts, and support requirements affect measurement and installation sequencing.
Backsplash & wall preparation
The tile needs a sound, suitable surface. Loose paint, contamination, damage, and uneven walls may require preparation before the chosen setting materials are applied.
Flooring & transitions
Review subfloor condition, elevation changes, and product requirements. Flooring and cabinetry sequencing depends on whether the floor is floating, glued, tiled, or otherwise fixed.
Plumbing, electrical & ventilation
Sink, dishwasher, lighting, outlets, and cooking ventilation are coordinated with the new layout. The estimate defines trade responsibilities and any permit or inspection work.
Planning background: NKBA kitchen and bath planning guidance. Project layout and service requirements are reviewed individually.
What to look for
Signs it’s time
for a closer look.
These are reasons to have the area evaluated—not a diagnosis or an automatic recommendation to replace everything.
Keeping plumbing and appliance locations can simplify a project. Moving them may change the trade work, permit needs, schedule, and budget. We define those differences before work begins.
- Swollen cabinet bottoms or recurring sink leaks
Investigate the moisture source and the condition of adjacent materials before covering the area with new finishes.
- Loose cabinets, sagging shelves, or failed drawers
A repair may be enough when the cabinet boxes and attachments remain sound; broader deterioration may justify replacement.
- Cracked tile or uneven, soft flooring
The issue may be below the finish. Preparation and substrate repairs should be part of the scope where needed.
- A layout that makes everyday tasks difficult
Blocked appliance doors, poor storage, and awkward circulation are useful reasons to reconsider the layout during a renovation.
What the work involves
A clear scope.
A better starting point.
Measure & select
Confirm cabinet dimensions, appliance sizes, finishes, countertop choices, and priorities.
Remove & prepare
Define protection, demolition, disposal, wall or floor repairs, and any rough trade work.
Install & coordinate
Plan cabinetry, countertop measurement, backsplash, flooring, fixtures, and finishing in the appropriate sequence.
Your written estimate is the project agreement. It defines the actual materials, preparation, installation, exclusions, and any permit or trade work. The guide above explains typical considerations; not every item is included in every project.

Planning your project

Installation & details
Plan removal, installation, finishing, and cleanup around the agreed scope.
Before we begin
Questions worth discussing.
What should I send when requesting an estimate?
Tell us your project location, the work you want completed, and your preferred timing. Photos, rough dimensions, and examples of finishes you like help us understand your goals.
How are materials and additional work handled?
Your written estimate defines the materials and work included. If concealed damage or a requested change affects the scope, we discuss the additional work before proceeding.
What about permits and other trades?
Permit requirements and the responsibilities for plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and any engineering are reviewed for the specific project and documented in the proposal.
