FAQ
Kitchen questions
What drives the cost of a kitchen renovation?
Whether the layout moves, since moving plumbing, gas or venting adds trades, then the cabinets and counters you choose.
How long will we be without a kitchen?
Only for the install, because we order before we demolish.
Can we keep the existing cabinets?
If the boxes are sound and the layout works, new doors and counters are enough.
Do we need a permit?
Not for a like-for-like refit, but moving plumbing or a wall usually does, and we handle it.
Can we supply our own appliances?
Yes, with model numbers before cabinets are ordered.
