What Our Kitchen Renovation Process Looks Like
As your kitchen remodeling contractor, we take a methodical approach to renovations. We want everything to be transparent from the start. So, we stay in communication with you through each phase with any updates or questions.
-
Step 1: Consultation & Design Planning
During this initial phase, we meet with you to learn what your dream for a new kitchen includes. Our professional team is highly collaborative. We make suggestions and take notes about your lifestyle and taste preferences. Then, we begin planning, where we draft out blueprints and get into the details of the design. At this point, we also put together a budget and timeline for the project.
-
Step 2: Material Selection
Next, we work with you to choose materials for your kitchen remodel. Depending on what’s needed, that could include:
- Countertops
- Sinks and taps
- Appliances
- Cabinetry
- Wall tile
- Flooring
- Paint colors
- Furnishings
- Lighting and switches
-
Step 3: Construction & Installation
This is when we actively create the new kitchen from our plans. We tear out anything being removed and install new materials and appliances. We also perform any plumbing or electrical upgrades to support the renovation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Massachusetts?
Most full kitchen remodels in Massachusetts run between $30,000 and $85,000, depending on the size of the room, the finishes you choose, and whether the layout changes. Cabinets are usually the biggest line item — often 30–40% of the budget. We set a clear budget with you during design planning, before any demolition starts.
How long does a kitchen remodel take?
Most kitchen remodels take 6 to 12 weeks of construction. Add design, permitting, and material lead times, and the full process often runs three to five months. We build a realistic timeline during planning and keep you updated through every phase.
Can we live in our house during a kitchen remodel?
Yes — most families stay home through their remodel. We seal off the work area to control dust, keep walkways clean, and help you plan a temporary kitchen setup. Expect a few weeks without your sink and stove during the construction phase.
Do I need a permit to remodel a kitchen in Massachusetts?
Yes, if the project touches plumbing, electrical, or structural work — and most kitchen remodels do. Purely cosmetic updates like painting may not need one. We manage the permit process with your town’s building department as part of every project.
Is a kitchen remodel worth it for resale value?
Usually, yes. The kitchen carries more weight with buyers than any other room in the house. Smaller kitchen updates often recoup most of their cost at resale, while major upscale remodels typically return 50–60% — plus a faster sale and a better daily kitchen in the meantime.
