What to Expect During a Kitchen Remodel

A kitchen remodel can completely change how you live and enjoy your home. It’s one of the most valuable upgrades you can make, improving both comfort and resale value. Still, the process can feel overwhelming if you don’t know what to expect.

At LevelUp Home Services, we believe that a smooth remodel starts with clear communication and planning. Here’s a breakdown of what typically happens during a kitchen renovation, so you can prepare confidently and know what each step involves.

Tip: Keep open communication with your contractor. Ask questions, review updates, and stay engaged — it keeps your project running efficiently and ensures you’re thrilled with the outcome.

Every great remodel begins with a conversation. During your initial consultation, the LevelUp team listens to your goals, ideas, and pain points with your current kitchen. You’ll discuss how you use the space daily and what improvements would make the biggest difference — whether it’s more counter space, better storage, or updated appliances.

Once your goals are clear, our design experts create a detailed plan that includes:

• Cabinetry layouts and storage solutions
• Countertop materials such as quartz, granite, or butcher block
• Lighting plans for task, ambient, and accent lighting
• Flooring options to fit your style and durability needs
• Appliance placement for function and flow



This phase sets the tone for the project, ensuring every detail aligns with your lifestyle and budget.

After the design is approved, the planning process begins. This step includes ordering materials, securing permits if needed, and scheduling trades like electricians, plumbers, and installers.

At LevelUp Home Services, we build out a project timeline that covers each phase in detail. You’ll receive updates on delivery dates, installation days, and estimated completion times. This transparency helps minimize surprises and keeps your remodel on track.

A clear schedule might include:

1. Demolition and prep
2. Electrical and plumbing rough-ins
3. Drywall, flooring, and cabinetry
4. Countertops, backsplash, and painting
5. Final installation and finishing touches



Your dedicated project manager ensures that each part of the process moves smoothly and stays within your agreed timeline.

Once the plan is in place, demolition begins. Old cabinets, appliances, and flooring are carefully removed to make room for the new layout. The work area is sealed to contain dust, and protective coverings are placed over adjacent spaces to keep your home clean and safe.

This stage is quick but messy, so expect some noise and limited access to your kitchen for a short time. LevelUp takes extra care to protect your property and maintain a tidy workspace throughout the process.

Now comes the exciting part — seeing your new kitchen come to life. During this phase, our skilled craftsmen install new cabinets, countertops, flooring, lighting, and appliances. Electrical and plumbing work are finalized, and every detail is reviewed for accuracy and quality.



Each installation step is handled with precision to ensure everything fits perfectly and functions as expected. Our goal is not just to make your kitchen look beautiful but to make it work better for your family’s needs.

You can expect frequent progress updates and check-ins throughout this phase to ensure full satisfaction.

Before closing out the project, you’ll walk through your new kitchen with the LevelUp team. This final step ensures every cabinet door aligns, every outlet functions, and every surface meets your expectations.

If you notice anything that needs a quick adjustment, our team handles it promptly. You’ll also receive maintenance tips and warranty information to keep your kitchen looking its best for years to come.
