Question 1

What's the difference between a renovation and a full remodel?

Accepted Answer

A renovation updates what's already there — flooring, lighting, hardware, paint, fixtures — without changing the kitchen's footprint. A remodel can move walls and change the layout itself.

Question 2

Can you update my kitchen without changing the layout?

Accepted Answer

Yes — that's the core of a renovation project, and it's usually faster and less disruptive than a full remodel.

Question 3

How long does a kitchen renovation typically take?

Accepted Answer

Most renovations run 2 to 4 weeks, since the layout and plumbing rough-in stay the same and work is mostly cosmetic and mechanical updates.

Question 4

Do my existing cabinets need to be replaced, or can they be updated?

Accepted Answer

Often they can be updated rather than replaced — we'll tell you honestly whether refacing or a fresh coat of paint makes more sense than tearing them out.

Question 5

How much does a kitchen renovation cost?

Accepted Answer

Since a renovation updates finishes and function without moving walls or plumbing, most projects land in the $15,000-$25,000 range — well below a full remodel, which often runs $30,000 and up once layout changes are involved. Your exact cost depends on how much you're replacing versus refreshing.
