Interior renovation

Kitchen remodeling

Some kitchens need new cabinets and counters. Others need a different layout entirely. We help you work out which kind of kitchen project you have, then plan the work so the room functions as well as it looks.

Overview

A kitchen remodel touches nearly every trade in the house — carpentry, plumbing, electrical, tile and finishes — in a room you use every day. Good planning is the difference between a smooth project and a long one.

We start with how you cook and use the space: where storage falls short, where people bump into each other, and what you would change if you could. From there we can talk about whether to work within the existing footprint or rethink it.

Scope

What kitchen remodeling can include

  • Cabinet replacement

    New cabinetry in the existing layout, including fillers, panels, hardware and trim for a built-in finish.

  • Countertops and backsplash

    Coordinating templating, installation and tile so surfaces and edges line up cleanly.

  • Layout changes

    Moving the sink, range or walls, or adding an island — work that involves plumbing, electrical and sometimes structural changes.

  • Lighting and electrical updates

    Recessed, pendant and under-cabinet lighting plus outlets planned around the new layout, completed by appropriately licensed trades.

  • Full kitchen remodel

    Coordinated demolition, rough-ins, cabinetry, surfaces, flooring and finishes.

Permits and licensed-trade requirements depend on your project and municipality and are confirmed in each written scope.

Before you reach out

Questions worth thinking about

  • Are you keeping the current layout or open to moving things?
  • What frustrates you most about the kitchen today?
  • Are you keeping any appliances?
  • Will you need a temporary kitchen setup while work is under way?

Not sure about some of these? That is fine — we can work through them together.

Cost factors

What affects the price

Every property is different, so we do not publish set prices. These are the factors that move the number most.

Layout changes
Moving plumbing, gas or walls adds trades and coordination.
Cabinet type
Stock, semi-custom and custom cabinetry differ in price and lead time.
Counter material
Laminate, quartz and natural stone vary considerably.
Electrical and lighting
Older wiring and new lighting plans can expand the electrical scope.
Appliances and finishes
Appliance choices, tile, fixtures and hardware add up.

Process

How a project moves forward

  1. Step 1

    Tell us about the project

    Use the form to share the service, location and what you want to change. Photos help but are optional.

  2. Step 2

    Initial conversation

    We review your request and follow up to ask questions and confirm whether the project is a good fit.

  3. Step 3

    Site visit when needed

    Most projects need an in-person look before a firm scope can be written. Visits are scheduled by mutual confirmation.

  4. Step 4

    Written scope and estimate

    You receive a written description of the proposed work and price for review. Nothing is binding until a contract is signed.

  5. Step 5

    Scheduling and the work

    Start dates, permits and selections are confirmed in writing before work begins.

  6. Step 6

    Final walkthrough

    We walk the finished work with you and address punch-list items.

Kitchen estimates benefit from photos, rough measurements and a list of what you want to keep. A site visit is usually needed before a detailed written scope.

This is our proposed process. Timing, visits and terms are confirmed for each project in writing.

FAQ

Kitchen Remodeling questions

How long does a kitchen remodel take?

It depends heavily on scope and on lead times for cabinets and counters. We discuss a realistic schedule once the scope and selections are known, rather than quoting a generic timeframe.

Can I keep my existing appliances?

Usually, yes. Tell us which ones you plan to keep so cabinetry and openings can be planned around them.

Do kitchen remodels need permits?

Work involving plumbing, electrical, gas or structure commonly requires permits in New Jersey, but requirements depend on the scope and municipality. They are confirmed for your project.

Can I live at home during a kitchen remodel?

Many people do. Planning a temporary kitchen area and knowing when water or power will be interrupted makes it much easier.
