Kitchen Renovation by K.
Hoyng
A Kitchen renovation can take approximately eight weeks to
complete, but of course that is if everything goes as planned. If you know
anything about Murphy's Law then you know that something may not go as it
was planned. Each kitchen that needs rejuvenated varies with the extent of
the project, the age, and condition of the house. The older the house, the
most likeliness that there will be a few problems that go along with the
remodeling. This reasoning can go with any kitchen remodeling design.
The items that follow will give you a short breakdown of
what to expect from your kitchen renovation idea.
Before starting, you might need a building permit. Check
with your local government.
1) The Demolition - This is where some project experienced
homeowners will save money by doing the tear down themselves but it is not
a very fun job. It can also bring a scare to the homeowner because it is
always possible to find a "small leak" beneath a sink that reveals rotten
floor boards or something worse as the sink base comes out. It's also
possible to find out that the wiring is not up to code. The good news is
that it is better to fix it now than later. Be sure to have a large trash
bin to dump your waste.
2) The Preparation - The very good do it yourselfer can
save quite a bit of money by painting or putting up drywall. If wiring or
pipes need attention, you might have to hire a certified electrician or
plumber depending on you building permit codes in your area.
3) The Installation - Always check your products for any
damage that might have occurred during transportation from the
store/warehouse to your home. Your installers should use padded equipment
when moving appliances or other items around and use wooden clamps for
your cabinets. If you decide to install yourself, you should read up on
some home improvement manuals before making any major decisions on
installation. For flooring, if you are using sheet vinyl, it goes in
easier before your cabinets arrive but tile and wood floors are usually
installed afterward to save on labor costs.
4) The Completion - This involves installing the counter
tops, sinks, faucets and lights. Then comes the minor but certainly not
forgotten kitchen details such as light covers, decorative hardware
(knobs, handles), switch plates and trim. This can all become a little
tiresome but if you keep your focus, you will finally complete the final
touches. When all is done, it is time to decorate it to your liking and
call the kitchen your own.
