Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a kitchen renovation take?

Most kitchen remodels take 6-10 weeks from start to finish. This includes demolition (3-5 days), rough plumbing/electrical updates (1-2 weeks), cabinet installation (1 week), countertop fabrication and installation (2-3 weeks), and finish work including backsplash, flooring, and trim (1-2 weeks).

Should I remodel my kitchen before selling my home?

Kitchen remodels typically return 50-70% of their cost in home value when selling. If your kitchen is very dated (20+ years old) or in poor condition, a remodel can help sell faster and at a higher price. For minor updates, consider just painting cabinets and replacing countertops rather than a full remodel.

Do I need permits for a kitchen remodel in Long Beach?

It depends on the scope. Simple cabinet and countertop replacement typically doesn't require permits. However, electrical or plumbing changes, structural modifications, or gas line work all require permits. We handle all permit applications and inspections.

Should I pick my appliances before designing my kitchen?

Yes, especially if you want specific appliance dimensions (like a 36" or 48" range, built-in refrigerator, etc.). We design cabinetry around your appliances to ensure perfect fit.
