Question 1

How long does a full kitchen remodel take?

Accepted Answer

Most complete remodels run 4 to 8 weeks depending on scope — a finish-level update moves faster, while a layout change involving plumbing or electrical moves takes longer.

Question 2

Do I need to move out of the house during the remodel?

Accepted Answer

Most homeowners stay in the house. We set up a temporary kitchen area for the parts of the project where the space is unusable and keep water and power disruptions as short as possible.

Question 3

Can you change the layout, or just update the finishes?

Accepted Answer

Both — we handle everything from a finish-only refresh to moving walls, relocating plumbing, and reworking the whole footprint if that's what the space needs.

Question 4

Do you handle the permits?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we pull and manage every permit the project requires, so you're not tracking down inspections on your own.

Question 5

How much does a kitchen remodel cost?

Accepted Answer

Most kitchen remodels run between $15,000 and $75,000, with a national average around $35,000. Minor updates land in the $15,000-$25,000 range, mid-range remodels with new cabinets, countertops, and flooring run $30,000-$50,000, and high-end remodels with custom cabinetry and layout changes can reach $60,000-$100,000 or more. We'll give you a firm number for your specific kitchen during your in-home estimate.

Question 6

What size kitchen island do I need?

Accepted Answer

As a rule of thumb, an island should take up about 10% of your kitchen's square footage, and you need at least 36 inches of clearance on every side — 42 to 48 inches is more comfortable if you'll be cooking and walking around it at the same time. We'll measure your actual space during the design phase rather than working off a stock size.
