There are several finer details that can cause you a fortune if overlooked. So, it is important to get ahead of the project by organizing your thoughts and planning the right order of executing your vision. If you haven’t already started putting your thoughts together, we’ll get you started.

Step 1 – Ideating and planning

Gather all your ideas and vision of your dream kitchen. Look for inspiration online, consult with contractors and understand the cost implications of each aspect. When renovating your kitchen, create plans that will fit in your space. To visualize these ideas and your requirements, ask your contractor to create a 3D design of the kitchen within the given design. This will give you and the contractor an idea of the scope of work involved, timeline, and most importantly, an estimate on the budget required for the project.

Step 2 – Demolition

Once you have approved the budget, design and contractor, it’s time to prepare for the demolition day. Before you install the new cabinets and upgrade your space, you’ll need to work with the contractor to remove outdated or worn-out walls, cabinetry, flooring, and fixtures. To avoid risking the destruction of plumbing and hidden pipes, we recommend you work with licensed contractors.

Step 3 – Framing, electrical and plumbing

Renovating or remodelling the kitchen often involves changes in plumbing requirements, slight changes in the existing layout, electrical and maybe even a shift in framing. With a professional construction crew, you can slide through this time-consuming process without any hassle. Make sure to have these inspected and approved as per the city codes to avoid any risks in future.

Step 4 – Finish the walls and install the doors

Once the inspection has been completed, the next step is to install all the dry walls as necessary, prime and have them painted. Through the kitchen renovation process, you may also have to create separate entrances or add additional windows. Make sure both doors and windows are installed and insulated properly to reduce the home energy costs.

Step 5 – Install Flooring

It is important to install even flooring before you install the cabinets. There are multiple material options to use in the kitchen, with the most common ones being ceramic tiles and wooden flooring. In most recent single family home construction trend, wooden tiles including hardwood flooring is being used the most. 

Step 6 – Cabinet Installation

Installing cabinets, countertops and all the matching plumbing fixtures makes the space look magnificent. It’s existing to see how your kitchen is finally getting to its final stages. Seeing everything coming together, just as you may have visualized, is definitely the best part of this kitchen renovation project.

Step 7 – Getting all the new appliances

No kitchen is complete without having some of the most essential kitchen appliances installed. Create a list of all the appliances you have wanted for your kitchen and an overall budget. From built-in microwaves to stove and refrigerator, add everything to spice up the look of your new kitchen.  

Finally, after all these 7 steps, your kitchen renovation would have been completed. Now is the time to celebrate this beautiful space you have always envisioned.
