Remodel your kitchen in less than 6 weeks!

Currently I am working on a couple of kitchen remodels for clients and wanted to share some tips and tricks on how to get it done in the fastest time possible!

Tip 1: PLAN AHEAD!

Since no one wants to live in a kitchen remodel the best way to get this done with out wanting to kill yourself or your spouse is plan a head! To do this first lay out the entire floor plan with your design and kitchen fabricator. Then pick out and ​order ​all new finishes such as countertops, appliances, backsplashes and cabinets before starting construction. Since cabinets and countertops can take the longest if you can order in advance this will save you time when it comes to construction!

Tip 2: Pick out in stock items!

If you can it will save you a lot of time to pick out countertops, backsplashes, flooring and appliances that are in stock! If you don’t have to custom order anything then don’t! Cabinets of course will be a custom order, but other finishes you can find in stock can ​save you ​the headache of backorders as well as cost!

Tip 3: Find the right contractor!

Make sure when interviewing different contractors to always ask how many employees they have on their team, how many jobs they have going on and what their schedule is like. In order to get this remodel done the quickest you will want someone who has a crew of at least 4 to 6 guys that will be assigned to your job and your job only! Some contractors will say they have 20 guys but then never send you the same guy twice. By sticking to the same crew that knows your home from the beginning it will help save time and your sanity!

By using a designer such as MP James we always have our clients best interest! Since this is what we do we know the questions to ask, where to source the materials and who to hire!
