The Kitchen – One of the most used rooms in the house. A room with all the essentials to creating happiness and providing nourishment for our loved ones. A simple opening that is nestled into the corners of our homes that caters to our needs without complaining. We are a rough and demanding people and the kitchen stands up to the brutal trials and tribulations that we toss its way.
Your kitchen deserves to be a warm and inviting place that smiles as friends, family and loved ones walk into her wide stretched arms. For my family, our kitchen was and still is the center of the house. It is where you go to start a conversation and go to fill your stomach and soul with satisfaction. Growing up I would spend hours leaning against out granite island watching my mom cook or telling her about my day and now it is still the place where hugs are first received every Saturday for our family dinners.
The holidays are the Olympics for kitchens. A time for thanks, family and good food. Pantry doors, cabinets and granite countertops are truly tested throughout the season. Like any smart athlete, our kitchens must be maintained in order to withstand the force of these two months. We all know that a band aid won’t heal a broken bone just like painting over old, worn out cabinets won’t solve the problems of rotted wood or outdated styles. Although over the years we have grown attached to the joy a kitchen brings into our lives at a certain point it is time for an update.
Just the millisecond thought of taking on a kitchen remodel can turn people away. The fear of being without a place to gather and a place to eat is something some families dreed while planning for a new kitchen design. We all have heard horror stories of families being stuck weeks and even months without a kitchen because various setbacks and forced to spend the extra money at restaurants and fast food. Most of the time it is simply the unrealistic timelines that we create and the demand we put on finishing a project that requires time and proper planning. Builders Surplus Kitchen Design Experts are here to help bring your dream into focus.
One of the biggest factors in remodeling a kitchen is the time of year. This is one of the busiest time of year for us but also a time of year that brings us the most joy.

FINISHING TOUCHES FOR THE GRAND REVEAL (Depending on Project)
Many people reuse their old appliances but some will want to purchase new ones. Most places will suggest that you start making your final appliance selections at least a month before you truly need them to be delivered. Nothing changes a room quicker then a fresh coat of paint on the walls. This is something to seriously consider if you are switching from dark kitchen cabinets to light kitchen cabinets. Switching the flooring is something else that needs be considered. Flooring timelines will depend on square footage and material being used.
