The next step is to pull the appropriate permits from the local department of building and safety so work can commence as planned. Once the permits are pulled, demolition can start. Whether every component of your kitchen needs to be replaced for a complete kitchen renovation, or if a partial kitchen remodel is what you are looking for, our team is here to do the job as quickly and thoroughly as possible. If a kitchen island is to be added, or if certain walls are to be removed, we may need to create the necessary space by implementing framing work. At times, framing work may include structural components which require architectural plans and foundation work. While this is not always the case, kitchens that do require structural work tend to be more expensive, take longer to build, and are more labor intensive, as the work requires a higher level of detail.

Our kitchen remodeling team will move on next to rough plumbing and rough electrical. This means we will lay the pipes, wiring, lights, switches and other plumbing and electrical components necessary for your kitchen to function exactly as planned. We are all about the details: we want to make sure that we set everything right, the first time, in the right location, so it will serve you for years to come without having to revisit the work done previously.

Insulation is the next step in the process of remodeling kitchen, although it is not always required. The building code states that insulation should be added onto exterior walls only. Therefore, we only add insulation when we completely redo a kitchen and open all walls. If we just replace cabinets or focus on a basic facelift, there is no requirement to change or add insulation.

The next step is the installation of flooring. Flooring is a major component of kitchen remodels, mainly because it is one of the largest parts of the kitchen. The look and feel of your luxury kitchen flooring plays a major role in how much you enjoy the currently as well as far into the future. Our kitchen remodelers pay close attention to even the smallest details throughout the critical flooring installation process, even the slightest mistake has the potential to ruin the best of kitchen makeovers.

As a part of the kitchen renovation, once cabinet installation is complete, it is time to install a new luxury countertop on the new cabinets. In this process, our clients provide us with the countertop slab of their choice that is typically made of granite, quartz, marble, porcelain, limestone, decton, neolith. This part of the process is called fabrication and is typically done at our fabricators’ shops, not at the client’s home. While fabricating granite, quartz and marble is all done in the same manner and at the same cost, the fabrication of all other materials is more detailed, and therefore, costs more than fabricating these materials.

Now that the cabinets and countertops have been installed, it is time to install the backsplash. You can choose to offset and contrast the countertop look by choosing a different backsplash tile and have it installed to complement the look. Alternatively, you may choose to have your countertop slab continue in a vertical installation and have it function as your backsplash. It is important to remember that countertop fabrication and material tend to cost more than tile and tile installation. Therefore, when working on a budget, it may be advisable to focus on tile for your backsplash installation. Take your time when selecting the backsplash. From the size of the backsplash to its look and beyond, the details really do matter!
