Kitchen remodeling in Kennesaw, Georgia

Most Kennesaw kitchens we remodel were built between the late eighties and the early 2000s. They share the same layout problems, and those problems have known fixes.

A Kennesaw kitchen remodel usually starts with one of three houses. The first is a late-1980s or 1990s two-story whose kitchen is closed off behind a wall from the family room. The second is an early-2000s subdivision house whose builder-grade cabinets are sagging and whose laminate counters are worn through at the sink. The third is a newer open plan where the island sits where everyone walks and the pantry is a narrow closet.

Each needs a different amount of work. The first often means removing a wall, and in a two-story that wall frequently carries the floor above. We determine that on the walkthrough and include the beam, posts, and finish repair in the price. The second can often keep its layout, which saves money on plumbing and electrical. The third is usually about moving one element, such as the island, range, or refrigerator, and the utilities it depends on.

How we plan it

Before anything is ordered, we work out the layout on paper with prices attached. That includes sink and dishwasher placement, where the range hood will vent, refrigerator depth and door swing, new circuits, and whether the flooring runs under the cabinets or has to be patched. Decisions are cheapest at that stage.

Kennesaw specifics

Moving plumbing, gas, or electrical, or removing a wall, requires a permit. Depending on the address, that permit comes from the City of Kennesaw or from Cobb County, and we confirm which before pricing. Because Kennesaw is where we are based, we can be on site quickly for inspections and questions, which helps keep your kitchen from sitting idle between trades.

Questions we get asked in Kennesaw

How long will my Kennesaw kitchen be out of use?
For a full remodel, plan on four to seven weeks without a working kitchen. You get a written schedule before we start, and we tell you right away if anything changes.
Can the wall between the kitchen and family room come out?
Usually. In a two-story it often carries load, so we price a properly sized beam and posts instead of discovering the problem halfway through.
Do I have to replace the flooring too?
Not always. If the flooring continues under the old cabinets and the layout stays the same, it can sometimes stay. When the layout changes, we plan the patch or replacement in the price.
