What a refresh can include
- Cabinet painting and new hardware.
- A new backsplash.
- New flooring.
- Wall and trim paint.
- Open shelving or small storage improvements.
When a refresh is not enough
If the layout does not work, cabinets are water-damaged, or appliances need to move, a fuller remodel may be the honest answer. Moving plumbing, gas lines or electrical requires qualified trades.
Order of work
Countertops usually come before backsplash. Flooring timing depends on whether cabinets are staying. Talk through sequencing.
What to send
Photos of the whole kitchen, what bothers you about it, what you want to keep and any inspiration photos.
