Kitchen Remodel Project: What Does It Entail?
Our kitchens are one of the busiest places in our homes which is why a Kitchen Remodeling Project may take some time and a lot of effort. When we decide on our kitchen remodel project we must first decide on our budget (how much are we willing to spend?). When we decide on the budget, we will next do some research on what items we need to purchase, replace and restore.
The planning stage will require thought and time - one cannot hurry ideas. One option is to hire a kitchen designer to help us with our kitchen remodel project so that we can be sure of the right materials and design for our kitchen.
For the kitchen design, we can either choose a casual or modern design. We can describe our likes and dislikes and how we expect our kitchen to function to our kitchen designer and from there. Our designer can decide what design will be perfect for our kitchen.
Depending on the size of our kitchen remodel project, we can opt to have more appliances installed, or more fixtures placed. Usually our kitchen space will be the same size, it is just how we utilize the space that we have that will differ.
With all the items to be ordered, ordering should be started as quickly as possible as some items may take several months to be delivered.
Begin by ordering your kitchen cabinets. Kitchen cabinets may take as long as 4 months before delivery. With this in mind, you should also make sure that there is a place where you can store all your kitchen furniture and appliances while your kitchen remodel project is taking place.
You will also need to determine where you will have your temporary kitchen. This is important as you will not be able to cook or prepare food in your kitchen while the construction is being undertaken. Another important thing to remember is that you will need a back-up plan. No matter how much you trust your suppliers, you will need to plan ahead and prepare if something may go wrong.
Here are some items you will need to review to make sure everything on your kitchen remodel project will be accomplished.
* Structural changes
* Demolition or deconstruction - which items will stay or go?
* Rough plumbing and electrical changes
* Painting
* Cabinets are to be inspected
* Flooring
* Cabinet installation
* Counter top fabricator measures
* Appliances
* Lighting
* Installation of counter tops.
* Plumbing jobs
* Back splash
* Carpentry jobs
