What Is Involved in a Kitchen Remodel?

If you are considering a kitchen remodel, you may wonder about the exact steps that will be taken to remodel your kitchen. Learn the steps to a kitchen remodel in Cincinnati, OH and elsewhere below. Planning Ahead and Mapping Out Before Any Work A quality company will sit down with you to plan ahead and map out the work that needs to be done for a successful, high-quality kitchen remodel before any work actually takes place. This helps to ensure that you are satisfied with the end result. Applying for the Proper Permits A quality company will know what permits are needed in order to legally remodel your kitchen. This will prevent you from having to figure out what permits you will need to be legally compliant. Demolition The company will remove such items as the sink, garbage disposal, countertops, dishwater, cabinets, light fixtures, and flooring. It also will remove the walls necessary to make your vision a reality. Framing This framing will allow for any new walls, doorways, and windows that you want added to your “new” kitchen. Electrical and Plumbing The company will ensure that the plumbing and electrical match up to your new kitchen floor plan and where all of the equipment (such as sink, dishwasher, and refrigerator) will be located. Drywall and Insulation The contractors will install the drywall and insulation so that the wires and pipes are concealed. The new kitchen will start to take “shape” during this phase. Flooring, Countertops, and Cabinets The contractors will install the floors and cover them afterwards to avoid stains and scuffs while such items as cabinets and countertops are installed. Careful measurements and installation are required to ensure everything fits as expected. Backsplash, Appliances, Fixtures, and Hardware A new backsplash will protect your tiles from paint splatters and construction debris. Then, your appliances, light fixtures, and door knobs and handles will be added to finish off your new kitchen. Final Inspection This is to make sure there are no overlooked issues and to address any possible issues that may have developed the remodeling process.
