Our 8-Step Kitchen Remodel Process
Step 1: Obtain Building Permits
Most kitchen remodeling projects involve structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing changes. In many cases, the work requires a building permit. Let us handle the process of submitting construction documents and seeking final approvals before the work begins.
Step 2: Ensure the Safety & Cleanliness of Your Kitchen
Kitchen remodeling can be more hazardous than you think. Exposed wires, sharp nails, and temporarily removed floor coverings make the construction zone unsafe for you and your family. That’s why we ask you to steer clear until the work is complete.
We also strive to keep your home clean while construction is underway by installing dust barriers at all kitchen access points.
Step 3: Begin Demolition & Framing
With all the preparations complete, demolition can begin. This includes removing all cabinets, appliances, countertops, light fixtures, and floor coverings. We also disconnect water, natural gas, and electrical lines as work gets underway.
Step 4: Install Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing (MEP) Systems
Next, we bring in certified HVAC technicians, electricians, and plumbers to work on the project’s MEP elements. We’ve worked with our trade contractors for years, making them trusted members of the Signature Kitchens Additions & Baths team.
Step 5: Bring in Building Inspectors
A building inspection at this phase ensures the structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing work is up to code. If your project is on a tight schedule, we may hire an outside inspection service to expedite the process.
Step 6: Install Drywall, Fixtures & Finishes
With the MEP work completed and approved, it’s time to install drywall, flooring, cabinetry, countertops, and appliances. We then paint the walls and install trim to start bringing everything together.
Step 7: Add the Finishing Touches
Our trusted HVAC technicians, electricians, and plumbers return to connect the appliances and install lighting and plumbing fixtures. Our in-house tile setter also installs your backsplash tile if that’s part of the kitchen design.
Step 8: Complete the Final Walkthrough
We accompany you on a final walkthrough of your newly renovated kitchen, which includes showing you how to use, clean, and care for your new cabinets, counters, appliances, and more. This is your chance to revel in before-and-after photos and discuss any future projects you might be interested in.
Enjoy your new kitchen, and contact us if you think of any other questions.
