Kitchen layout first, finishes second
- Map the path between sink, range, and refrigerator before choosing cabinets.
- Keep at least 42 inches of clearance in work aisles where possible.
- Decide on appliance sizes early because they drive cabinet dimensions.
Bathroom remodel sequence
- Plumbing and ventilation decisions come before tile and vanity selection.
- Waterproofing behind shower walls matters more than the tile you see.
- Plan storage for towels and toiletries so counters stay clear.
Questions to ask any provider
- Are you licensed and insured for this type of work in my area?
- Who pulls permits and schedules inspections?
- How are changes to scope documented and priced?
