Living through a kitchen remodel sounds daunting, but with the right prep, it's totally manageable. Here's how our clients handle it.
Set up a temporary kitchen. A folding table, a microwave, a coffee maker, and a mini-fridge. Put them in the dining room or garage. You'll eat more takeout than usual, but having coffee and basic meal prep helps a lot.
Dust barriers are your friend. We hang professional-grade plastic barriers to contain dust, but you should also cover furniture in adjacent rooms and keep bedroom doors closed.
Plan meals ahead. Stock up on easy meals, paper plates, and disposable utensils. A slow cooker is your best friend during a remodel.
Communicate with your contractor. We provide daily updates so you know exactly what's happening, when crews will be there, and what to expect. No surprises.
Remember why you're doing this. The temporary inconvenience is worth it. In 4-8 weeks, you'll have the kitchen you've always wanted — and you'll forget all about the microwave meals.
