Questions homeowners ask
- Why do kitchen quotes vary so much?
- Cabinetry and counters can swing a kitchen budget by tens of thousands, and layout changes add plumbing, electrical, and drywall work that is easy to leave out of an early quote. Fixing the scope in writing is the fastest way to make quotes comparable.
- Does a kitchen renovation need a building permit?
- Cosmetic replacement often does not, but moving plumbing or electrical, removing walls, or altering structure usually does. Confirm with your municipal building department before work starts.
