What Is Involved in a Kitchen Remodel?
When planning a kitchen remodeling project, your first step should be to assess your current kitchen layout to determine what works well and what needs to change. This evaluation should involve considering aspects like the flow between your sink, stove, and refrigerator or the appearance of your cabinetry, countertops, flooring, and walls. We can offer comprehensive advice during this planning process and make personalized recommendations based on our many years of experience.
Once you’ve determined the optimal layout, the next step typically involves demolition. This can range from removing old cabinets and countertops to more extensive structural changes.
After the demolition phase, you next need to address any plumbing and electrical considerations. This could include relocating pipes for a sink or confirming that wiring meets the requirements for new appliances and lighting fixtures. You should engage licensed professionals for these tasks to comply with building codes and ensure safety.
Following the completion of any necessary plumbing and electrical work, we will install your new cabinetry and countertops. Cabinets are often considered the backbone of a kitchen's design, providing both functionality and style. Selecting the right materials and finishes can vastly influence the overall look and can also offer additional storage solutions. Countertops, on the other hand, must be durable and practical, as they are subject to daily wear and tear. Many homeowners opt for materials like granite, quartz, or butcher block.
Once we have installed your cabinets and countertops, our attention shifts to flooring. This step can significantly affect the kitchen’s ambiance and usability. Floors not only need to match the broader design but also withstand spills, foot traffic, and frequent cleaning. Popular choices include tile, hardwood, or luxury vinyl planks, each offering unique benefits and styles.
The finishing touches in a kitchen remodel often involve painting walls, adding backsplashes, and installing fixtures such as faucets, handles, and lighting. These elements are pivotal in tying together the design elements and adding personal flair. Additionally, this final phase includes setting up new appliances and verifying that they are properly connected and operating properly.
We recognize that major kitchen renovations can be overwhelming, and temporarily losing access to this crucial space represents a major disruption to your family’s daily routine. That’s why our St. Cloud kitchen remodeling professionals will work with you to establish a timeline tailored to your needs that prioritizes efficiency without sacrificing quality workmanship.

Common Upgrades Made During a Kitchen Remodel
When undertaking a major kitchen remodeling project, homeowners often seek to introduce upgrades that enhance both the functional and aesthetic aspects of their space. These upgrades can transform a dated kitchen into an inviting and modern environment designed to meet the demands of everyday cooking and entertaining.
Some of the most common key upgrades we regularly assist homeowners with include:
- Open floor plans. A major trend in kitchen remodeling is the shift towards open floor plans. By removing walls or altering structural elements, the kitchen can flow seamlessly into adjacent living areas. This enhances the sense of space, promotes better communication across rooms, and encourages more inclusive social interactions during meal preparations or gatherings.
- Smart appliances. The integration of smart technology into kitchen appliances is rapidly gaining popularity. From refrigerators with touchscreens that offer recipe suggestions to ovens controlled by smartphone apps, these advancements provide convenience and efficiency. Smart appliances also often come with energy-saving features, which can contribute to reducing utility costs over time.
- Custom cabinetry. Custom cabinetry allows for personalized design and organization solutions that cater to specific culinary habits and storage requirements. Whether it’s the addition of pull-out shelves, soft-close doors, or hidden compartments, these tailored options can help maximize storage capacity and accessibility and contribute to an efficient, clutter-free environment.
- High-quality countertops. Upgrading to premium countertops like granite, quartz, or marble can significantly enhance a kitchen's surface durability and visual appeal. These materials not only offer durability and easy maintenance but also provide a luxurious touch that can enhance the kitchen’s design.
- Improved lighting. Thoughtful lighting design can transform the kitchen atmosphere and usability. Layering ambient, task, and accent lighting fixtures can highlight architectural features, provide ample illumination for cooking tasks, and create a warm and inviting environment. Pendant lights over islands and under-cabinet lighting are particularly popular choices.
- Luxury flooring. Durable and stylish flooring options such as stone, hardwood, or luxury vinyl plank can complement the kitchen’s design. These materials offer longevity and resistance to spills and foot traffic while also enhancing the kitchen’s aesthetic coherence with the rest of the home.
- Creative backsplashes. Backsplashes offer a unique opportunity to add personality and flair to the kitchen. Whether using colorful tiles, sleek glass, or natural stone, backsplashes serve as both a functional protection from splashes and a decorative element that can tie together the kitchen’s theme.
