A kitchen renovation is a connected project.
Cabinets affect appliance fit. Countertops affect sink details. An island affects the way people move through the room. Planning those decisions together helps you understand the whole project before the first cabinet is ordered.
Use the service areas below to explore your options. The final work, supply responsibilities and exclusions belong in your written scope.
Layout & design
Think through cooking, cleaning, storage, door swings and the way the kitchen connects to the rest of the home.
Explore the possibilities ↗Cabinetry & storage
Review cabinet construction, drawer layouts, pantry organization, finishes and hardware.
Explore the possibilities ↗Countertops & backsplash
Bring surfaces, edge profiles, seams, sink details and wall finishes together.
Explore the possibilities ↗Look beyond the visible finishes.
A complete kitchen scope may include protection, removal, preparation, cabinetry, flooring, plumbing, electrical work, lighting, ventilation and finishing. The exact combination depends on your room and goals. Qualified trades and any required approvals need to be identified before the work begins.
Keeping the layout
Replacing cabinetry in a similar footprint can still require careful measurement and service coordination. A new appliance, deeper cabinet or different countertop thickness may change clearances and connection details.
Changing the layout
Moving the sink, changing walls or adding an island introduces more questions. Review structure and building services early, then connect those requirements to the design and budget.
