One of the hardest parts of starting a remodel is knowing where to begin and what realistically needs to happen in a space. Once you have a solid understanding of that, budgeting, planning, and setting expectations become a lot more manageable.
To help with the “what is this actually going to take” side of things, here’s an overview of the scope of work on this kitchen remodel. Keep in mind that every home is different, and scope will always shift based on what a homeowner needs or wants — but hopefully this gives you a general sense of what a kitchen remodel at this scale typically involves.
