How do you plan a kitchen remodel step by step

Q: How do you plan a kitchen remodel step by step?

To plan a kitchen remodel, decide the scope first, then the budget, then the design, and get bids last. Most cost surprises come from doing those steps in a different order. 1. Write down what is not working today: storage, counter space, light, the walkway. 2. Choose a scope: a refresh, a same-layout remodel, or a new layout. 3. Set a budget range and keep part of it in reserve for what turns up behind the walls. 4. Pick the big items early, such as cabinet grade, countertop material and appliances, because they drive both price and schedule. 5. Get written estimates from two or three licensed remodelers for the same scope. 6. Confirm who pulls the permit and what the schedule is before you sign. The published averages on the cost page give a starting point for step 3.
