When you partner with a team for your remodel, clarity and open communication is the key to building your dream kitchen. Whether you’re a chef with a passion for the finest culinary tools or simply want a microwave dinner, there are several steps you should take to prepare your kitchen remodel guide.

 

One of the most common questions we routinely get from homeowners is how to plan a kitchen remodel. The main steps for remodeling any kitchen include the following:                                                                                                                                                                                   

  • Inspiration folder: You should take pictures from kitchens in-person, in magazines, or photos online with notes. It’s also essential to include what you love about a kitchen and what you hate with your goals, like fashion over storage or organization above decorative style.
  • Needs and dreams: It’s also important to have a prioritized wish list for your remodel that includes your must-haves and dream features. If your time limit or budget should shift, this list can help your contractor to make smart decisions about what you want.
  • Technical specifications: When you partner with Kauffman Kitchens, we have members of our team come to your location for an in-home consultation. This allows us to gather all the measurements and information we need for your remodel. If you plan on working with a general contractor, it is a good idea to send prints, and any existing or proposed plans to help make their job easier once you start your remodel.
  • Layout preferences: Another important decision is to pick your kitchen layout. Some homeowners make an island workstation the center of their kitchen for more counter space, while others choose an open floor plan with a galley layout or L-shape.

Want help with your kitchen remodel planning guide, or are you ready to start your renovation? Kauffman Kitchens is a local, family-owned contractor with a passion for excellence, and we would love to connect with you to make your dream kitchen a reality!

 

Use Our Kitchen Remodeling Project Management Checklist 

kitchen project management checklist

As the old expression says, when you fail to plan, you plan to fail. That’s why a kitchen remodeling project management checklist can help you to achieve your vision for your kitchen.

This essential checklist will help you to communicate with your contractor and achieve your goals:

  • Budget: The most important step is to determine your minimum and maximum budgets. We advise picking a figure and then adding about 5% to that number to cover anything that would come up unexpectedly during your remodel.
  • Schedule: Lead times can vary depending on delivery of materials and the schedule of the contractor you are working with. It is a good idea to know your next couple of months availability up front, and be able to communicate that with the team working on your kitchen so you both are happy with the dates you decide.
  • Rules: If you live in a condo or a housing community, you may have rules on kitchen modifications. You should always share these with your contractor upfront and review potential workarounds or questions before they begin the work.

The only step left on how to plan a kitchen remodel is to find the right contractor. Here at Kauffman Kitchens, we believe we can help you bring your kitchen from idea to concept while sticking to your budget and schedule.
