There is a lot to do when remodeling your kitchen. From just thinking of a kitchen remodel to getting the kitchen remodeled. A kitchen remodel is one of the ways to increase your home’s value, but it entails a lot of processes. This is why a lot of people just hand over their remodel to a professional. And even at that, you still have to go through the processes of choosing and hiring a kitchen remodel contractor.

In the coming paragraphs, we will be looking at all these processes and pointing out what comes first when remodeling a kitchen.

When Remodeling a Kitchen, What Comes First

When remodeling a kitchen, what comes first I stress tear out, demolition and removal. Before making your space as beautiful as you want, you have to remove and get rid of what is worn out or outdated. This includes getting rid of old cabinetry, wall, flooring, fixtures, lighting, countertops, etc.

You can handle this yourself, but it’s always best if a professional does it. There is a lot of electrical and plumbing in the wall that you do not want to mess up. A hired professional kitchen remodeler understands this well enough to ensure no harm is done to the delicate areas. Also, there is the problem of the removal of debris. The process is very intensive and strenuous. You can do this yourself, but it’s best if you get someone to help you. Also, remember to turn off the water and electricity before the demolition.

However, if you install cabinets first, it can be a lot cheaper. The reason is that you have to cut the flooring to fit. This means less flooring is used and, thus, less money. It also protects the flooring from unnecessary damage during the kitchen renovation. When putting appliances, cabinets, and countertops, too many people walk on them and can end up scratching them. So which should you put first?

We recommend that you wait to put your flooring in. This plan makes it a lot cheaper and protects it from unnecessary damage during the installation of other parts of the kitchen. In fact, flooring should be among the final things you do. This means that you should even do countertops first.
