This knowledge will help you navigate whether you’re looking to redecorate your kitchen locally or undertake a complete renovation of your home.

Kitchen Design Project

Before you start building, you need to think about the design of the kitchen and what you want to achieve with the kitchen repair. At this stage, you should hire a professional designer who has the necessary knowledge and will be able to protect you from the wrong steps as well as explore different ideas, materials, colours, appliances and many other items that are suitable for your current and future life. As a guide, here are kitchen renovation costs in Toronto.

This will create a clear and concise picture of what your new kitchen should look like. Explore all the options of layout and choice of materials. Spending a little extra time now, you will not regret it later. Then all your thoughts should be transferred to the drawing, with a choice of places for each kitchen appliance or furniture. It is important to indicate the size of the furniture and appliances in the drawing. Pay attention: the appliances should be next to a socket, taps and sinks – next to water pipes.

Preparatory Works

To create a new space, you must remove the old one. You should take out all the furniture, get rid of the old finish, countertops, existing cabinets. You will need a plumber and an electrician to unplug all your appliances, sink, faucet and gas outlets before the cabinets are removed. Deciding to change the floor? You should remove the old flooring. If you are planning a large-scale redevelopment, you should remove the partitions and doors.

Kitchen Renovation Time

At this stage, most of the dirty work is done:

1. Dismantling or construction of new walls;
2. Replacement of windows;
3. Work with the ceiling and the floor.

At this stage, there should also be rough work on the installation of all plumbing and electrical equipment, including laying electrical wiring for your home appliances and installing new lighting fixtures and electrical installations.

Installation of flooring can be done in two ways: before installing all the main components of the kitchen or after. Installation after ensures that the floor will not be damaged by workers who walk on it during the repair. In this case, the floors are laid around your kitchen cabinets. Alternatively, you can install new floors at the very beginning of the process so that the floors cover all the kitchen space, and new cabinets are installed on top.

After completing the necessary construction work can be installed new kitchen cabinets, countertops. The timing of the installation of new cabinets will depend on the size of your kitchen. Installation can be done by yourself or contact the condo kitchen renovation specialists. Most often, new kitchen cabinets and countertops are made to order, to perfectly integrate them into the existing kitchen.

Household Appliance Connection

The new home appliances are an ideal addition to the new kitchen. At this stage, the oven, hob, sink and faucet are connected. You will need to contact a plumber or electrician to professionally fit your appliances, gas and water to your new kitchen. If you decide to make the fridge built-in, you will need to additionally carefully insert the fridge into the niche and hang the facades.

After that, you should conduct a large-scale cleaning, unpack and place the dishes in their places, hang the kitchen decor, and put kitchen plants.

And the last point: enjoy your new kitchen in all its beauty!
