Kitchen Renovation Chicago

With the three things that are hard to move: the drain, the gas line and the ventilation route. Water supply and electrical are comparatively easy to relocate. Those constraints shape more kitchen layouts than any design preference does.

Only if the current one genuinely does not work u2014 no counter beside the cooktop, a refrigerator blocking a walkway, no clear path between sink, stove and fridge. Keeping fixtures on their existing services is by a wide margin the biggest saving available.

Cabinetry, almost always, well ahead of the construction itself. Countertops follow it, because they are templated to the cabinets after those are installed. We order early and schedule demolition around the delivery rather than the other way round.

Most people do, with a temporary kitchen set up elsewhere. The kitchen itself is out of use from demolition onward. We plan that with you beforehand, along with dust protection and a protected route through the home.

Yes u2014 they are coordinated by one team on one schedule. It matters more in a kitchen than anywhere else, because the countertop depends on the cabinets being set correctly and the tile depends on both.

Cabinetry and countertops make up the largest share, then whether plumbing, gas or electrical have to move, then any structural change. Appliances and tile matter, but they rarely swing a budget the way relocating services does.
