Kitchen renovations: what’s involved
There are many parts to consider for a kitchen remodel. Chapter assumes responsibility for managing your entire project, so that every aspect aligns with your goals, budget, and the current state of your kitchen.
Here's a broad outline of the usual components involved in a kitchen renovation:Planning & design
Define your goals and priorities to create a remodel plan that includes every detail of your kitchen remodel project. Work with a designer to envision the ideal kitchen layout and aesthetics.
Layout changes
Inspect existing conditions to identify possible kitchen layouts. Significant layout changes, such as removing or adding walls, may involve full architectural plans or structural carpentry work.
Demolition
Protect surfaces and common areas. Remove existing cabinets, countertops, appliances, and other replacement elements. Address structural issues that may be uncovered during demolition.
Electrical & plumbing
Update or relocate electrical outlets and switches, as needed. Install new lighting fixtures. Address plumbing needs, including moving or replacing sinks and faucets.
Flooring
Install new flooring, which may involve removing the existing floor and replacing it with tile, hardwood, laminate, or other materials.
Cabinetry
Install new cabinets or reface existing ones. Select from custom cabinets or pre-made options based on your budget, timeline, and preferences. Decide on materials, colors, and textures.
Countertops & backsplashes
Select and install countertops like, granite, quartz, marble, or butcher block. Include a backsplash for wall protection and aesthetic appeal, potentially integrated with the countertop.
Appliances
Purchase and install new appliances, such as a refrigerator, stove, oven, dishwasher, and microwave. Ensure that the electrical and plumbing connections are compatible.
Quality assurance & inspection
Close out permits and necessary signoffs. Conduct a final inspection and quality assurance check to guarantee design adherence and code compliance.
