A good remodel is mostly good planning. Here is an order that works for most kitchens.
Start with how you live
Write down what annoys you today: no counter space, a dark corner, a refrigerator in the wrong place. A plan that fixes those things will feel better than one chosen from a photo.
Choose the layout, then the look
The layout decides how the room works. The finishes decide how it feels. Settle the layout first, then pick cabinets, counters, backsplash and floors together so they work as a set.
Order the long-lead items early
Cabinets, countertops and some appliances take weeks to arrive. Placing those orders early keeps the project on schedule. Our Remodel Timeline tool shows where those waits fall.
Plan the work in order
Demolition, then plumbing and wiring, then walls, cabinets, counters, backsplash, flooring and finishing. Each step depends on the one before it.
Leave room for surprises
Older homes can hide wiring, plumbing and structure that need attention. A cushion in the budget and the schedule keeps a surprise from becoming a crisis.
