Check that doors and drawers align within 2 mm and close fully. Run water in the sink for 10 to 15 minutes and inspect underneath for leaks. Test every outlet with a small appliance. Keep a punch list of small defects to fix before final payment, since corrections are easier when they are written down.
Demolition takes 1 to 3 days for an average home kitchen. Cabinet installation needs 2 to 4 days once units are delivered. Countertop measuring happens after cabinets are fixed, then fabrication takes 7 to 14 days. Tile or flooring work adds another 3 to 5 days, so total time often falls between 4 and 8 weeks.
Keeping the sink, range, and refrigerator in place keeps cost down. Moving the sink means new supply and drain lines, often 2 to 4 meters each. Relocating a gas range requires a licensed gas fitter and pressure testing. Removing a non-load-bearing wall is cheaper than relocating a load-bearing one, which may need a steel beam and an engineer's sign-off.
Laminate costs less but tolerates heat poorly. Quartz and granite handle daily use well but need sealing every 1 to 2 years for granite. Solid surface can be repaired if scratched, while butcher block requires oiling every few months. Ask about the thickness in mm, seam locations, and who measures the final template.
Porcelain tile handles spills and dropped pans, but the grout needs sealing every 1 to 2 years. Luxury vinyl planks are waterproof and softer underfoot, yet heat from ovens can warp cheap products. Engineered wood looks like real wood but tolerates only limited moisture. Natural stone is durable but slippery when wet unless textured or honed.
Replace supply valves older than 10 years while walls are open. A range hood should vent outside, not into a cabinet, to remove moisture properly. Ask for the hood airflow in cubic metres per hour; a value below 250 m³/h is usually weak for daily cooking. Confirm dishwasher and fridge water lines are included.
Hidden water damage appears after demolition, usually behind the sink or under the dishwasher. Old wiring fails inspection, forcing a partial rewire. Cabinet lead times stretch from 4 weeks to 12 weeks when stock is low. Countertop measurements taken before the cabinets are level lead to gaps. A 10 mm tolerance on cabinet alignment prevents most fit issues.
Ask for the payment schedule, the warranty on labour, and the warranty on materials. Request references from kitchens finished in the last 12 months. Confirm who handles permits, delivery coordination, and final cleaning. Also ask which days the crew works and how noisy phases are scheduled around your routine.
A full renovation usually replaces cabinets, countertops, flooring, lighting, plumbing connections, and appliances. A partial one may keep the layout and only change doors, handles, or the worktop. Ask the professional to write down which elements are included before any contract is signed. This avoids paying twice for the same item later.
Planning and quotes usually take 2 to 4 weeks. Demolition needs 1 to 3 days. Rough plumbing and electrical run 3 to 5 days. Inspection and wall closure add another week. Cabinet installation often takes 1 to 2 weeks. Countertop measuring, fabrication, and fitting need 10 to 15 working days. Flooring and final finishes can stretch the project by 1 to 2 more weeks.
