Kitchen Remodeling Field Guide by renovisionkb — Fast, Clear, Build-Ready

  • News from our partners

Kitchen remodeling should feel like launching a well-tested product, not a leap of faith. At renovisionkb (Renovision Kitchen & Bath), we turn ideas into a build-ready package: measured plans, coordinated specs, and a clean job rhythm that keeps family life moving.

What Success Looks Like

  • Meals move in one direction: prep → cook → serve → clean (no backtracking).
  • Lighting, ventilation, and outlets are placed for work—not just looks.
  • After 100 days, the kitchen remodeling still feels tight: quiet hood, straight grout, doors aligned, drawers gliding.

The 10-Point Kitchen Remodeling Checklist

  1. Flow map: Draw your current routes; eliminate crossings at the sink–range–fridge triangle.
  2. Aisles: 42" minimum single-cook, 48"+ for two cooks.
  3. Landing zones: 15" next to fridge/oven; 12" both sides of cooktop.
  4. Storage zoning: Assign a “home” for knives, oils, spices, trays, recyclables before cabinet quotes.
  5. Drawer-first bases: Deep drawers beat doors for pots and pans—plan inserts early.
  6. Task lighting: Under-cabinet LEDs on a separate, dimmable circuit.
  7. Vent math: Match hood CFM + capture area to cooktop; plan make-up air if required.
  8. Power & data: GFCI/AFCI protection, island outlets, and a USB-C charging drawer.
  9. Water quality: Filtration/softening to protect fixtures, glass, and appliances.
  10. Appliance choreography: Open every “door” in the plan—no collisions.

Budget Map (Typical Kitchen Remodeling)

  • Cabinetry 35–45% — construction quality + hardware matter most.
  • Counters 10–15% — quartz/porcelain for primary worktops.
  • Appliances 10–20% — confirm clearances and circuits early.
  • Electrical/Lighting 8–12% — separates good from great.
  • Plumbing/HVAC 5–10% — quiet, right-sized ventilation is non-negotiable.
  • Tile/Floor/Finish 10–15% — durability over trend.

Good • Better • Best (Spec Priorities)

  • Worktops: Durable quartz • Large-format porcelain • Porcelain + integrated drainboard.
  • Sink: Large single bowl • Workstation sink • Workstation with full accessory kit.
  • Hardware: Soft-close slides • Full-extension, premium glides • Soft-close + damping everywhere.
  • Lighting: Basic cans • Layered (ambient/task/accent) • Layered + smart dimming scenes.

Micro-Upgrades with Macro Impact

  • Appliance garage with vented power for toaster/espresso.
  • Toe-kick drawers for trays/boards.
  • Knife dock in a drawer to free the backsplash.
  • Pull-out recycling center sized to your pickup schedule.
  • Quiet door sweeps + felt pads to tame noise.

Build Rhythm That Works

  • Dust control (zip walls, negative air), protected paths, and milestone walk-throughs at rough-in, cabinet set, counter template, and punch. That’s how renovisionkb keeps kitchen remodeling on schedule and on budget—without surprises.
