How to Plan Your Kitchen Renovation

A successful kitchen renovation requires careful consideration of materials, design elements, and professional expertise. Planning each detail in advance helps create a functional and aesthetically pleasing space while staying within budget.

Material Considerations

Countertops


  • Granite: Prices range from $35 to $200 per square foot, depending on quality and installation specifics. 
  • Quartz: Typically costs between $65 and $155 per square foot, offering a durable and low-maintenance option. 
  • Butcher Block: Averages $50 to $150 per square foot, with custom work potentially reaching $200 to $400 per square foot.


Cabinets


  • Stock Cabinets: Generally cost $60 to $300 per linear foot, providing an economical choice with limited customization.
  • Semi-Custom Cabinets: Range from $150 to $900 per linear foot, allowing for moderate customization to suit specific needs.
  • Custom Cabinets: Typically priced between $500 and $1,200 per linear foot, offering fully personalized designs tailored to the space. 

Design and Layout Considerations

The kitchen work triangle connects the sink, stove, and refrigerator in an efficient layout. Each leg should measure between 4-9 feet for optimal functionality.


Space planning must account for:


  • 36 inches of counter space on each side of the sink
  • 15-18 inches of counter space beside the refrigerator
  • 24-36 inches of clearance for walkways


Storage solutions like pull-out shelves and corner units maximize space utilization in small kitchens.

Choosing a Renovation Company

Research local contractors through online reviews and portfolios. Request detailed quotes from at least three companies for comparison.


Key factors in selecting a renovation company:


  • Valid licenses and insurance
  • Written contracts with clear timelines
  • References from past clients
  • Experience with similar projects


Ask about project management approaches and communication methods. Professional companies provide regular updates and maintain open lines of communication throughout the renovation process.

The Renovation Process

Kitchen renovations follow a structured sequence of steps to transform outdated spaces into modern, functional cooking environments. Professional contractors execute each phase with precision while maintaining safety standards and building codes.

Demolition and Removal

The renovation begins with protecting adjacent areas using plastic sheeting and floor coverings. Workers disconnect all utilities, including water lines, electrical connections, and gas pipes.


Skilled laborers remove existing cabinets, countertops, appliances, and fixtures. They carefully preserve any items marked for reuse or donation.


The team strips old flooring, removes damaged drywall, and exposes underlying structures. This phase often reveals hidden issues like water damage or outdated wiring that need addressing.

Structural Changes

Contractors reinforce floor joists and wall supports to accommodate new cabinet layouts and heavy appliances. They update electrical systems to meet current codes, adding new circuits and outlets.


Plumbers relocate water lines and drains to optimize the new kitchen layout. This includes installing additional supply lines for islands or relocating sink positions.


The team repairs or replaces damaged subfloors and installs new drywall where needed. They ensure proper ventilation systems are in place for range hoods and appliances.

Installation and Finishing

Cabinet installation begins with base units, followed by wall cabinets. Professionals ensure perfect leveling and secure mounting. Workers install new countertops, carefully measuring and cutting for a precise fit. They connect plumbing fixtures and mount new appliances.


The team applies fresh paint, installs backsplashes, and lays new flooring. Final touches include installing hardware, light fixtures, and trim work.


Quality control inspections verify all elements meet specifications. The team tests all systems and appliances before project completion.
