Know that the end result is well worth the inconvenience that can occur over the course of a kitchen remodeling project. However, it is most important to realize that the process will cause temporary disruptions to your everyday lifestyle so planning for this will allow you and your family to minimize any changes in your daily routine.
In order to ensure the process runs as smoothly as possible, it is important for you, the homeowner, to understand what will be taking place before the project begins. Our guide will help you prepare as much as possible before actual construction begins. Although B&T Kitchens & Baths will work diligently to make sure you are informed throughout the process, some things are unpredictable.
The fewer surprises you encounter, the happier you will be with your kitchen or bathroom remodeling project. Please take this opportunity to read through our Design Experience and Helpful Hints in detail. These tools will assist you as you walk through the remodeling process, one step at a time.
As difficult as it may be, patience is a necessity when remodeling. Construction of any type takes coordination, time and patience.
During your kitchen remodel, plan to visit those new restaurants or order that new take out meal you have been meaning to try. The less kitchen duties you have in your home, the easier it will be for you.
Kitchen or Bath remodeling will create dust; there is no way around this. Prior to the start of your remodeling project, seal off all doorways and openings with plastic and tape
Please do not allow children or pets into the work area. It may be dangerous for them.
Plan your kitchen remodeling schedule at a time that works for you. Please let you representative know if there are days during the week or weekend that will not work with your schedule.
Allow for a few extra days to complete your project. A perfectly planned project sometimes will have a hiccup.
Once you have signed your contract and approved your selections, it is advisable not to request additional changes. Changes orders cost everyone time and money. A delay in a decision could delay the work schedule of your remodel job.
Please provide a convenient bathroom for the use of workers. If you prefer not to have workers use your personal bathroom, we request that you provide a port-a-potty outside. Our representative will be pleased to assist you with your decision.
If you decide to use a bathroom in your home for kitchen duties throughout your remodel, our suggestion is that it should not be a bathroom used for your family’s personal hygiene needs throughout the renovation. Please designate a bathroom to be used specifically for kitchen duties.
Please make sure there is one primary decision maker for your remodel. The primary decision maker should be available by phone at all times. As hard as we strive to foresee obstacles that may arise, it is very common to these obstacles to present themselves during your remodel.
The goal of everyone is to have your remodel completed in a timely manner. Please direct all questions to your representative and not to the workers. If your questions are small, please make a list and discuss them with your representative by phone.
Don’t sweat the small stuff! If there are small defects or pieces that need replaced, our warranty department will place the order and schedule a convenient time to take care of the small stuff.
