The twelve steps

1. Initial call

Goals, rough scope, budget range and service availability for your ZIP code.

2. In-home assessment

Measurements, existing conditions, structure, plumbing and electrical.

3. Scope definition

What changes, what stays, and where the budget is best applied.

4. Layout design

Plans and elevations resolving zones, clearances and storage.

5. Cabinetry specification

Construction type, door style, finish and interior fittings.

6. Material selections

Countertops, backsplash, flooring, fixtures, hardware and appliances.

7. Proposal

Scope, allowances and schedule set out clearly before commitment.

8. Permits and approvals

Applications where required and association submittals where applicable.

9. Ordering

Cabinetry and long-lead items released so the schedule can hold.

10. Construction

Demolition, rough trades, inspections, drywall, cabinetry, stone, tile.

11. Finish work

Fixtures, appliances, hardware, adjustment and detailing.

12. Walkthrough

Punch list completed, operation explained, care guidance provided.

Why the order matters

Almost every expensive problem in a kitchen project traces back to a step taken out of sequence. Ordering cabinets before the layout is final. Templating stone before cabinets are level. Choosing appliances after cabinet openings are built.

Following the sequence is unglamorous, and it is the difference between a project that lands on schedule and one that stalls halfway through with an unusable kitchen.

What we need from you

  • A realistic budget range early, so the design targets it
  • Timely decisions on selections during the design phase
  • Access to the home during working hours
  • Association or building documentation where applicable
  • A temporary kitchen set up before demolition
  • Pets and valuables secured away from the work area

Answers

Questions homeowners ask

How involved do I need to be?
Heavily during design and selections, lightly during construction. The decisions that shape the result are concentrated in the first phase.
Can I supply my own materials or appliances?
Appliances are commonly homeowner-supplied. What matters is that the exact model is confirmed before cabinetry is ordered, since openings are built to specification.
What happens if something unexpected is found?
It is documented, the options and cost implications are explained, and work continues once a decision is made. Older homes make this a realistic possibility rather than an exception.
How do I start?
Call and describe the kitchen. Have your five-digit ZIP code ready so service availability can be confirmed.
