The kitchen is the center of the house. Whether there’s a home cook in the family or not, food brings people together.

Have a run through Kitchen Renovation checklist to better prepare yourself for the journey ahead.
Time
Consider how long the project will take. Even the smallest kitchens can take quite a bit of time, interrupting your daily flow and putting a temporary stop to you being able to use your kitchen. Our team will provide you with a realistic time frame that you can work around to ensure your family is as comfortable as possible.
Budget
How much can you afford to spend on the renovation? Having a budget with a little bit of breathing room will keep your spending on track and prevent you from going over. Once you can determine your budget for materials and labor, you can then break that down further into which items you can buy – things like fixtures, cabinets, and appliances.
Surprises
You may run into surprises that may concern you throughout the course of your journey. Maybe you have to move the sink over a few inches to make room for the extra countertop space you want to have, or found black mold that needs to be addressed by a professional before work continues. Accommodate for surprises along the way.
Hidden Damage
It’s important to be realistic in that you may have some surprises of hidden damage once everything gets torn down. Kitchens, just like bathrooms, are prone to hiding water damage pretty well, which can oftentimes extend the completion timeline.
Style & Functionality
When the foundation has been set and it’s time to pick out the many available paint colors, cupboard styles, and tile choices available, it can get overwhelming pretty quickly. Make a mood board that your Stylux designer can then organize and piece together various elements to create a well-tied look that you love.
Measurements & Plumbing
Measurements are important when it comes to staying on track and saving money. Kitchens have a complicated network of plumbing pipes and electrical wiring that should be considered. During your kitchen remodel Vancouver, your team will make sure everything you pick out is measured correctly and fits perfectly into its designated spot.
The Right Contractor
The right general contractor makes all the difference. Given the complexity of the job, it’s important not to overlook the importance of hiring a professional.
The Right Flooring
The right flooring in the kitchen is important. Ideally, it should be slip-resistant, waterproof, and durable. Materials like ceramic, marble, or granite are all great although modern vinyl tiles have become incredibly stylish and durable as well as being very budget-friendly.
Good Ventilation
Ventilation is essential in a kitchen to keep the air clean and airflow consistent while cooking. Our team can help you choose the right fan for the job and the right position for installation. Not only that, but it will also help prevent moisture from building up and causing black mold or warping wooden fixtures.
