How long does a kitchen remodel take?
It depends on the scope. A refresh that keeps the layout moves much faster than a full remodel with new plumbing, new electrical and custom cabinets, and cabinet lead times can add weeks. We walk you through the expected schedule before work starts, and you get updates as the work moves.
Can I use my kitchen during the remodel?
For most of a full remodel, plan on no. Water, power, counters and cabinets are out of service at different points. Many homeowners set up a temporary kitchen in another room with a microwave, a coffee maker and a folding table. We plan the order of work to keep that stretch as short as possible.
Should I reface or replace my kitchen cabinets?
Refacing keeps the cabinet boxes and replaces the doors, drawer fronts and exposed surfaces. It works when the boxes are solid and you like the layout. Replacement makes sense when the boxes are damaged, worn out or in the wrong place for a new layout. We look at your cabinets on the walkthrough and tell you which one fits.
Do I need a permit to remodel my kitchen?
Often, yes, when the work adds or moves plumbing, adds electrical circuits or changes walls. Permit rules differ between the City of Houston, suburban cities and unincorporated county areas. We confirm what your address requires before work starts.
Who does the plumbing and electrical work in my kitchen?
Licensed trade partners. Texas licenses plumbers and electricians, and every bit of plumbing and electrical work in your kitchen is done by licensed pros. We schedule and coordinate them so you don't have to.
How much does a kitchen remodel cost?
Cost depends on the size of the kitchen, whether the layout changes, and the cabinets, counters and finishes you choose. We walk the kitchen with you, then send a detailed price in writing before any work starts. The estimate is free.
