If you are considering a kitchen renovation, there are a lot of things to plan and coordinate before, during, and after your remodeling project. Luckily, careful thought and communication with your contractor will make sure the project runs smoothly. Arvada, CO’s A Plus Contractors is here with a few tips to keep in mind for your upcoming kitchen renovation.

For a stress-free kitchen renovation, keep these five tips in mind:

• Detailed Plan: Before the remodeling begins, make sure you know exactly what you want. Make a list of what your new kitchen should have, and clip drawings and pictures that detail your ideas. This will help you and your remodeling contractor achieve your goals. Make sure you understand the process from beginning to end and have a detailed idea of the job. This will also help with budget and timeline plotting.
• Upgrades: A kitchen renovation should come with upgrades. If you lack storage, consider adding pantries or more cabinets with better storage space than what you have. For appliances, newer models will be more energy efficient, but make sure to purchase them from the same manufacturer so your pieces match and are compatible.
• Choose Your Contractor: Carefully research the contractor who will be doing your remodeling. Look for customer reviews or recommendations from trusted friends and family. It’s good to know the team you choose is licensed and insured to protect you and the work they will be doing. Once you’ve decided, make sure you receive all details of the project in writing before any work begins.
• Ask Questions: A kitchen renovation is a big job. Don’t be afraid to ask questions and make sure you and your contractor are on the same page. Keep the communication open between you and your contractor to ensure a smooth relationship from beginning to end.
• Protect Your Space: Besides making it easier for your contractors to work, removing your kitchen items and protecting kitchen floors and other surfaces will save you a headache later. You should also keep the work area closed off for the safety of your family and pets.
