Where to Start?
Getting ideas for your kitchen remodel can be daunting, so we have compiled our top 3 list of most requested kitchen renovations:

Getting the Permits
The first step in the actual kitchen remodel process will be to apply for permits at the local city office. The application will be submitted and the inspections will be scheduled.
Construction
After getting initial approval, we will begin the build process. The build process will be further divided into the following stages:
-
- Demolition – If there is a need, we will demolish the existing kitchen.
- Structural Build Out – The carpentry crew will begin the framing work. Depending on the design, major construction work will be done.
- Plumbing Wiring and HVAC Rough-in – If the plumbing and the wiring need to be re-routed, then they will be done at this stage. In most cases, the first round of inspections will be scheduled with the city inspectors at this stage as well.
- Finishing Walls and Ceilings – At this stage, your kitchen will start to look like a kitchen. Insulation, drywall, and priming / finishing walls and ceilings will be completed.
- Installing the Flooring – Based on the material that you choose, installing the flooring will be done at this stage.
- Cabinets and Countertops Installation – If we are installing a new set of cabinets, then they will be installed at this time, along with the countertops.
- Setting up Appliances – In the final stage of construction, the appliances will be installed.
Completion and Final Inspection
We will double check our work and then schedule the final inspection. After the inspector approves everything we are all done and your dream kitchen is ready!
