Timelines & Budget Drivers

Most full kitchen renovations take 6–10 weeks of on-site work after design, selections, and permits are complete.
 

What influences time and cost:

  • Scope (layout changes vs. like-for-like)
     

  • Cabinetry level (curated lines vs. fully custom)
     

  • Countertop & tile selections and patterns
     

  • Appliance spec & venting complexity
     

  • Structural changes and inspection cadence
     

  • Decision speed and change orders
     

How we keep things predictable: finalize selections early, align on a detailed demo-to-finish schedule, and maintain weekly updates.

What We Renovate From End-to-End

Selections Roadmap

We organize cabinetry, counters, tile, flooring, fixtures, hardware, and paint into an approvals checklist with allowances to keep costs transparent.

3D Visuals 

We produce renderings so you can see door styles, colors, tile patterns, and lighting—reducing guesswork and change orders.

Small & Historic Homes

We specify right-sized appliances, smart storage, and period-aware finishes, using respectful methods—containment, careful demo, minimal structural disruption.

Design & Planning

Where Great Kitchens Start

We spend time in your space, see how dinner really happens, and measure what matters. Then we turn it into practical options—layout, appliance fit, lighting/power, storage, and finishes—with clear visuals and smart fixes for compact or older homes.

Discover & Measure

We start by understanding how you cook, entertain, and store, then document precise measurements and existing (as-built) conditions.

Layout Options

We present clear plan alternatives—adding an island, refining the work triangle, building a pantry wall, or opening a non-load-bearing partition—with pros and cons so you can choose confidently.

Appliance-First Planning

We align clearances, electrical/gas needs, venting routes, and rough-in locations around your selected appliances. Share your spec sheets and we’ll sync the plan and schedule.

Lighting & Power Plan

 We design layered task, ambient, and accent lighting; place GFCI/AFCI-compliant receptacles; add under-cabinet lighting; and allocate dedicated circuits where needed.
