7 Questions to Answer

kitchen remodel planning

Kitchen remodeling in Phoenix requires that a lot of questions be answered. We don’t want you to be overwhelmed during the initial consultation, so we’ve put together a list of 7 questions that need answers before the project begins. These questions will help the process go much more smoothly.

What is the objective of the kitchen remodeling project?

The most common reasons for remodeling the kitchen include:

  • Preparation for selling the home
  • Updating appliances and style
  • Improved energy efficiency
  • Creating a smart kitchen with all the bells and whistles

Be committed to the reason for remodeling your kitchen. The finished product should meet your idea of the perfect kitchen!

How long do you plan to use this kitchen?

Homeowners who remodel the kitchen with the intention of retiring and growing old while living independently should consider the future. Start making changes now that will have a positive impact on your kitchen for when you’re 75 or 80 years old.

Do you have any existing health or mobility issues?

We need to know if you or anyone in the household suffers from allergies before we start recommending materials to install in your home. We also need to know if anyone has mobility issues or other health concerns that need to be taken into consideration.

Will you live in your home during the remodeling process?

Some homeowners prefer to stay in a hotel or go on vacation while we’re remodeling. We often remodel kitchens during the winter months while the homeowners are in their northern homes. Imagine coming back to Phoenix to your summer home and you have a whole new kitchen!

Do you want to modify any walls or doorways?

This is a very important question because some walls help to support the roof. We can tell you which walls are support walls and which walls are okay to modify. We can modify support walls, but we have to maintain that structural stability. Sometimes we can find other ways to offer that support while giving you the kitchen you want.

How do you use your kitchen?

We get a lot of strange looks when we ask that simple question. What do you mean, how do I use my kitchen? It’s a kitchen. We understand. But we get a lot of varying answers to that question. Some families use the kitchen only as a spot to grab a quick breakfast on the go then maybe the occasional evening meal. Others have traditional breakfasts and dinners as a family. And some also incorporate a homework area, an arts and crafts area, or even board games.

What’s your remodeling budget?

You knew we had to get there eventually, right? We need to know your budget because that will help us design the best kitchen for you without breaking the bank. We can show you tricks and tips for splurging on the things you really want while saving in other areas without sacrificing quality. Never sacrifice quality.
