Kitchen Remodeling.

A kitchen remodel covers the whole room, not just the surfaces. We plan the layout, help you choose every finish, coordinate the plumbing, electrical and lighting, and handle the permits the work needs.

• Layout planning, including opening or moving walls
• Cabinetry, counters and backsplash
• Plumbing, electrical and lighting
• Range, hood and appliance planning
• Fixtures, hardware and finishes
• Permits and inspections

Walnut cabinetry and a marble waterfall island in a new farmhouse. A cedar hood over a pro range, framed in sage stacked tile. Two-tone white-oak fronts with brass bar pulls in a mid-century ranch. A white kitchen with glass-front cabinets and a marble backsplash. Different houses, one standard.

1. 01
   Layout first

   Keeping the sink, range and refrigerator where they are keeps the cost down. Moving them means moving plumbing, gas and power, so it's the first decision, not the last.

2. 02
   Cabinets set the schedule

   Cabinetry usually has the longest lead time in a kitchen. Choosing it early keeps the rest of the job from waiting on it.

3. 03
   Counters come after cabinets

   Stone and quartz are measured once the cabinets are installed, so the fit is exact. Plan for a short gap between the two.

4. 04
   Light in layers

   Pendants over the island, task light under the uppers, and general light overhead. The wiring for all three goes in while the walls are open.
